Abstract A simple and accurate analytical method for determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fish and shellfish is presented, which is considered to be useful for routine analyses and for screening purposes. The procedure involves alkaline digestion, extraction with n-hexane, silica gel column chromatography, and liquid chromatographic (LC) determination with fluorometric detection. During development of the analytical method for determination of PAHs, it was found that benzo[a]pyrene, a representative PAH, was decomposed easily by the analytical procedure, and this tendency was investigated for the experimental conditions used. Benzo[a]pyrene was decomposed by the coexistence of alkaline conditions, light, and oxygen; by peroxides in aged ethyl ether; and by oxygen when adsorbed on silica gel. Thus, to obtain good recoveries and precise analytical results, these decomposition conditions must be avoided. The following precautions are recommended: protection from light through all analytical steps; addition of Na2S to alkaline digestion mixture as an antioxidant; complete removal of peroxides from ethyl ether just before use; quick column chromatography on silica gel; and prevention of air from contact with adsorbent. When this simple method was applied to fish and shellfish samples, very good recoveries of PAHs from fortified fish samples were obtained, and no serious interferences were observed in fish and shellfish extracts

Abstract Fourteen polycyclic hydrocarbons in (I) meat, poultry, fish, and yeast, and (II) fats and oils have been isolated and determined. To separate group I homogeneously, 2N methanolic KOH is used. In the first step of concentration (methanol-water-cyclohexane partition (4 + 1 + 5)), a 200 g sample is reduced to 0.2 g of polycyclic fraction without any emulsions. The same effective concentration is found for group II without a saponification step by partition in N,N-dimethylformamide-water-cyelohexane (9 + 1 + 10). Further very effective concentration (100:1) of polycyclics results from filtration on Sephadex LH 20 (solvent:sopropanol). After further cleanup by filtration on silica gel (Woelm, 15% water), phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene, fluoranthene, chrysene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo-(e)pyrene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, perylene, anthanthrene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, dibenz(a,h)-anthracene, and coronene are separated on an aluminum oxide column (Woelm, 5.4% water) or equivalent. Recoveries ranged from 75 to 92% for all polycyclics down to the 2 ppb level.

A more sensitive GC-MS method has been established for the determination of some carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in vehicles exhaust tar samples. The tar samples were extracted using dichloromethane (DMC): n-hexane solvent mixture. A multi-layer clean-up (silica gel/sodium sulphate) column was used, followed by glass fiber filter (GFF) paper. The method was successfully applied to determine a number of PAHs present in exhaust tar sample of different vehicles of the Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka, Bangladesh.   Keywords: Carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, vehicles tar samples, identification, GC-MS/MS

Abstract A method for determining the possible presence of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in petroleum waxes is based o n the maximum absorbance within four wavelength ranges of an extract prepared by chromatography. The procedure involves chromatography on silica gel and partition of the adsorbate between cyclohexane and nitromethane, followed, if necessary, by a second chromatography on silica gel impregnated with nitromethane.
