The limit of detection (LOD) for an acceptable GC-IR response for most compotmds is between about 1 and 20 ng (injected) per component, the actual value depending on the chemical nature of the analyte. The LOD is often defined with respect to the strongest band in the spectrum. Most bands in the infrared spectrum of nonpolar compounds are fairly weak and so these compounds tend to have the highest LODs, but even these compounds usually have at least one band in the spectrum with a high absorptivity. Examples include the C-H stretching bands of alkanes and the aromatic C-H out-of-plane deformation bands of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Detection limits also depend on the width of the GC peak the wider the peak, the more dilute the analyte and the higher the LOD. [Pg.1922]

The performance of microwave-assisted decomposition of most difficult samples of organic and inorganic natures in combination with the microwave-assisted solution preconcentration is illustrated by sample preparation of carbon-containing matrices followed by atomic spectroscopy determination of noble metals. Microwave-assisted extraction of most dangerous contaminants, in particular, pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, from soils have been developed and successfully used in combination with polarization fluoroimmunoassay (FPIA) and fluorescence detection. [Pg.245]

Aromatic solvents or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAFI) in water, e.g. can be detected by QCM coated with bulk-imprinted polymer layers. Flere, the interaction sites are not confined to the surface of the sensitive material but are distributed within the entire bulk leading to very appreciable sensor responses. Additionally, these materials show high selectivity aromatic solvents e.g. can be distinguished both by the number of methyl groups on the ring (toluene vs. xylene, etc.) and by their respective position. Selectivity factors in this case reach values of up to 100. [Pg.298]

An appreciation of the extent to which invertebrate species may be exposed to such chemicals comes from considering the effects of complex mixtures. In the North Atlantic ecosystem alone, hundreds of pollutant chemicals have been identified. These include metals, synthetic and chlorinated organics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Over 300 aromatic hydrocarbons have been detected in some regions of the Chesapeake Bay, and high concentrations of PCBs have been... [Pg.52]

Because process mixtures are complex, specialized detectors may substitute for separation efficiency. One specialized detector is the array amperometric detector, which allows selective detection of electrochemically active compounds.23 Electrochemical array detectors are discussed in greater detail in Chapter 5. Many pharmaceutical compounds are chiral, so a detector capable of determining optical purity would be extremely useful in monitoring synthetic reactions. A double-beam circular dichroism detector using a laser as the source was used for the selective detection of chiral cobalt compounds.24 The double-beam, single-source construction reduces the limitations of flicker noise. Chemiluminescence of an ozonized mixture was used as the principle for a sulfur-selective detector used to analyze pesticides, proteins, and blood thiols from rat plasma.25 Chemiluminescence using bis (2,4, 6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate was used for the selective detection of catalytically reduced nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from diesel exhaust.26... [Pg.93]

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are important air pollutants that have to be detected at very low concentrations. Fig. 2.4h shows the separation of a synthetic mixture of very low levels of PAH. They are barely detectable using uv absorption, but are easily monitored by fluorescence. [Pg.64]

Chemical carcinogenesis by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a multi-step process in which each of the steps must occur if a neoplasm is to develop. Thus, exposure to PAHs alone is not necessarily sufficient for the induction of a tumor. Many of these factors are summarized below and are discussed in various chapters of this volume. Considered here will be those factors influencing the reactions of the metabolically activated forms of the PAHs with DNA and the ways in which adducts may be detected and characterized. [Pg.191]

Nitro polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are environmental contaminants which have been detected in airborne particulates, coal fly ash, diesel emission and carbon black photocopier toners. These compounds are metabolized Tn vitro to genotoxic agents through ring oxidation and/or nitroreduction. The details of these metabolic pathways are considered using 4-nitrobiphenyl, 1- and 2-nitronaphthalene, 5-nitro-acenaphthene, 7-nitrobenz[a]anthracene, 6-nitro-chrysene, 1-nitropyrene, 1,3-, 1,6- and 1,8-dinitro-pyrene, and 1-, 3- and 6-nitrobenzo[a] pyrene as examples ... [Pg.374]

Limited data is available on the concentration of volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from gasification processes. The data that is available indicate that VOCs, SVOCs, and PAHs are either non-detectable in flue gas streams from IGCC process or, in some cases where they were detected, they are at extremely low levels (on the order of parts per billion and lower). The analysis of syngas also indicates greater than 99.99 percent chlorobenzene and hexachlo-robenzene destruction and removal efficiencies and part per billion or less concentration of selected PAHs and VOCs.9-14... [Pg.16]

Following an aviation kerosin spill, hydrocarbons were detected in trout stream sediments and fish up to 14 months after the spill [13]. After a fire at a weed treatment plant in 1970 a large area of mixed forested ecosystem became contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and creosote [66], High polyaromatic concentrations in stream sediments adversely affected micro- and meiobenthic communities at all trophic levels. Stein et al. [67] have studied the uptake by bethnic fish (English sole, Parophrys vetulus) of benzopyrene and polychlorinated biphenyls from sediments. Accumulation of contaminants from sediments was a significant route of uptake by English sole. [Pg.134]
