Abstract
The analytical method developed in the early stages of the work involving Soxhlet extraction of the particulate matter followed by column chromatography and then programmed-temperature gas chromatography (with the use of u.v. spectrophotometry to identify individual polycyclic aromatics) has been simplified and made more rapid. The improved procedure has been used to analyse soot samples for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAC) from fire fighting schools. The presence of appreciable amounts of known carcinogens in these suggests a possible health hazard to personnel exposed. Exploratory work has been carried out on the use of the integrated ion-current technique in high resolution mass spectrometry to determine picogram quantities of PAC. The report also discusses a brief review of use of organo-metallic and metal containing additives in suppressing soot and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in flames.
