Total particulate aromatic hydrocarbon TpAH

Golden, C., and E. Sawkki. Ultrasonic extraction of total particulate aromatic hydrocarbons (TpAH) from airborne particles at room temperature. Int. J. Environ. Anal. Cliem. 4 9-23, 1975. 

Golden and Sawicki [17] studied ultrasonic extraction of almost all of the polar compounds from airborne particulate material collected on Hi-Vol filters. Full recovery of PAH and good reproducibility were achieved. Total analysis time was approximately 1.5 hours. The same research group also reported a sonication procedure for the extraction of total particulate aromatic hydrocarbon (TpAH) from airborne particles collected on glass fiber filters [18]. Significantly higher recovery of TpAH and PAH were achieved by 40 minutes of sonication than by 6 to 8 hours of Soxhlet extraction.
