| Abstract |
The report describes a fluorescent spot test, devised for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), based on the sensitization of the inherent fluorescence of such compounds. On filter paper, 10 pg of PAH in a spot of 0.25 cm diameter can generally be visualized when treated with naphthalene. In the case of benzo(a)pyrene, 1 pg has been detected. This method has been shown to be specific for PAH with minimum interference from other compounds. The method may be used to estimate the general level (factors of 10) of PAH in samples to aid in decisions for further more specific analyses. |
