High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is well used for the quantitative analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in environmental samples with high sensitivity. However, it has a lower separation efficiency in comparison with capillary gas chromatography (GC). This paper describes the comparison of the GC method with the HPLC method by measuring the PAH in air particulate matter; and average daily respiratory intake (ADI) of them in ambient air by man is presented here.
