Abstract

In this study, sampling and analytical procedures were evaluated for the determination of ambient levels of atmospheric PAH, both in gaseous and particulate phase. The method involves low-volume sampling and Soxhlet extraction of the filters and Tenax absorbent, followed by a clean-up stage using a silica column prior to analysis by reversed-phase HPLC with wavelength programmable fluorescence and UV detection. A total of 18 PAH were identified and quantified, all of which have been of environmental concern. In order to validate the methodology and to ensure compatibility of the results, the analytical method used for the determination of PAH was evaluated with respect to the efficiencies of extraction and clean-up procedure, HPLC separation, and lower limits of detection. In addition, substrate dependency of PAH recovery was investigated for the two types of fiters, i.e. glass fiber and PTFE filters.

본 연구에서는 대기중 저농도 수준의 다환방향족탄화수소(PAH) 농도를 측정하기 위하여 이들의 포집과 분석방법을 평가하였다. PAH의 포집매체로서 기체상은 Tenax 흡착제를, 입자상은 PTEE 및 유리섬유필터를 이용하였으며 양자 모두 저유량샘플러에 의해 포집되었다. 필터 및 흡착제에 함유된 유기성분은 Soxhlet 장치로 추출하였으며 신속하고도 간편한 Silica 미니칼럼을 이용하여 PAH 함유성분을 분리하였다. PAH 성분은 역상 HPLC로 분리되어 형광 및 UV 검출기로 검지하였다. 분석은 환경보건학적 중요성을 갖는 18개의 PAH에 대하여 행하여졌다. 분석방법의 타당성을 검토하기 위하여 추출능(시료의 회수율), 시료의 전처리단계, HPLC 분리능과 재현성 및 검출한계치 등이 평가되었으며 이울러 서로 다른 포집매체의 이용에 따른 회수율의 영향도 비교 검토되었다. 본 연구에서 채택된 포집 및 분석방법을 실제 환경시료에 적용하여 가스상 및 입자상 PAH 분석을 위한 실례를 제시하였다.
