Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common products of many industrial and natural combustion processes. PAHs are found in grilled meat, tobacco smoke, air-borne particulates, used motor oil and soil. They are produced by practically any process involving combustion of fossil fuels. Because many PAHs are carcinogens, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its National Exposure Research Laboratory in Las Vegas, NV must develop analytical methods for determining these ubiquitous pollutants. The authors investigated detection of PAHs using CAD MS.
