James, R., L. Farr, R. Adams, AND H. Miller. PIC (PRODUCTS OF INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION) ANALYSIS METHODS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/9-87/011 (NTIS PB87208955), 1987.
Description:
The report gives results of method evaluations for products of incomplete combustion (PICs): 36 proposed PICs were evaluated by previously developed gas chromatography/flame ionization detection (GC/FID) and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) methods. It also gives results of method evaluations of 59 additional principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs) from the amended list of compounds from Appendix VIII of 40 CFR, Part 261. The report contains chromatograms, bar-graph mass spectra, and calibration curves for each compound. Relative retention times, detection limits, precision data, and mass spectra are tabulated for each compound. The report also reviews recent literature on the formation of PICs.
