“…Applications of ETA-LEAFS included determinations of Tl in solutions (264) and solid samples (265), Pb in Antarctic ice (266), metals in air by direct impaction onto an ETA (267), Tl, Mn, and Pb in food slurries (268), and Tl and Pb in solid samples of alloys (269). Laser-excited molecular fluorescence in graphite furnaces was repoted for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (270,271), F as MgF (272,273), and Cl as InCl (274).…”

“…Studies on animals indicate that various PAHs may induce adverse effects, but the main reason for concern about human exposure to these compounds is the evidence that several PAHs are carcinogenic. The International Agency for Research of Cancer (IARC) determined that benzo(a)anthracene and benzo(a)pyrene are probably carcinogenic to humans, while benzo(K)fluoranthene, indeno (1,2,3)pyrene are possible carcinogenic to humans. 6 In turn EPA classified the following seven PAHs: benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene as probable human carcinogens.…”

Partitioning Study of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons between Water and Some Selected Water‐Insoluble Phases

et al. 2007

An investigation on the partitioning of naphthalene and phenanthrene between water and some water-insoluble phases has been carried out by Uv-vis-NIR spectrophotometry. The analysis of the experimental results emphasized the role of intermolecular interactions and structural features of the hosting phases as driving forces of the partitioning of these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The critical comparison of the resulting distribution constants allowed to evaluate the potentials of some extracting phases to set up sensitive analytical methods and/or effective environment remediation technologies.

“…Under certain sampling protocols, the screening of large numbers of samples prior to indicator compound(s) analysis will result in significant cost savings throughout the risk assessment and risk management process. Among the analytical methods currently under evaluation for on-site analysis are thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TE-GC-MS), ultraviolet fluorescence, and remote laser-induced fluorescence (RLIF) techniques (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”
