Synchronous fluorescence and phosphorescence at room temperature for levels 1 and 2 organic analysis
By simple and rapid synchronous luminescence techniques, analysis was carried out on thirteen polynuclear aromatic components in a liquid chromatography fractionated XAD-2 extract from Source Assessment Sampling System runs. This same sample was used in an interlaboratory evaluation of current Environmental Protection Agency Level 1 organic analysis procedures. Comparative results show that synchronous fluorescence and room temperature phosphorescence provide data that are more than adequate for Level 1. These techniques should also be seriously considered in the development of Level 2 organic analysis procedures. An example is given of the use of luminescence for rapid screening of an unfractionated coal liquefaction product for a major PNA component.
