Trace Analysis for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) Using Capillary GC with Photoionization Detection.

Publication Date 1982
Personal Author Arnold, J. E.
Page Count 22
Abstract A GC technique using a fused silica capillary column and a photoionization detector (PID) equipped with an 8.3 electron-volt lamp was studied. The goal was to develop a rapid instrumental technique for detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in road asphalt and diesel engine emissions. With a run time of 14 minutes, the GC-PID may be used to analyze for EPA's 16-priority pollutant PAH.
