Rapid analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
A rapid gradient HPLC method for simultaneous determination of 16 PAH according to EPA 610 method is presented. A baseline resolution for all 16 target analytes in less than 2.50 minutes could be achieved by using a KNAUER BlueOrchid PAH 50 x 2 mm column.
