Exposure to polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAC) has long been identified as of considerable environmental concern. Originating from both natural and anthropogenic sources, many PAC exhibit significant carcinogenic and mutagenic properties. Multi-dimensional chromatographic techniques which provide separation by virtue of chemical class (group-type) or by molecular mass greatly simplifies the analysis of inherently complex fuel materials. In this study, on-line LC-GC techniques in which high resolution gas chromatography (HPLC) have been investigated. Comprehensive characterisation of fuel feedstocks and post-pyrolysis and combustion products was achieved by coupling LC-GC to low resolution ion trap mass spectrometry (ITD-MS) and atomic emission detection (AED). The identification of PAC in diesel and coal materials, as well as urban air and diesel exhaust particulate extracts has provided valuable insight into the source, formation and distribution of such compounds pre- and post processing.
