Particle size dependent concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in the outdoor air.
Chemosphere 31, 3119-3127 (1995)
Particle size distributions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) from outdoor air sampling were measured. Size segregated samples were collected in Southeast Germany with a five stage high-volume cascade impactor (HVS) and a five stage low-pressure impactor (LPI). Fifty-seven PAH and alkylated PAH were identified by GC-MS. Twelve of them were quantified by HPLC with fluorescence detection. 50 – 60% of the total PAH content was found on particles smaller than 0.49 μm and more than 85% on particles < 1.5 μm respectively 1.72 μm. The results of the high-volume and the low-pressure impactor samples are in good agreement, although differences above 20% occur when single compounds are under the quantification limit in the LPI samples because of the low volumes sampled.
