Determination of PAHs in Particulate Air by Micellar Liquid Chromatography

Abstract
An acetonitrile/0.2OM SDS mobile phase was used to determine PAHs by HPLC with fluorimetric detection. Because the peak area is greater the method is more sensitive than using an acetonitrile/water mobile phase. The method was applied to determine PAHs in particulate air samples and the results are in good agreement with those found by GC.
