Characterization of carcinogenic species in petroleum-refining localities. Progress report, June 1, 1980-November 30, 1981
The overall objective of this project is to evaluate the identify and concentration of polynuclear aromatic compounds (PNA) that are associated with oil refining localities. To achieve the overall objective, this first phase of research was designed to develop the analytical and air sampling methodologies to be used in the proposed study. Several analytical methods were identified and developed to yield the most information about the PNA content of our samples. These methods include gas and liquid chromatography (GC and LC), mass spectromety (MS), video fluorometry (VF) and combined techniques such as GC/MS and LC/VF. The air sampling techniques include particulate sampling by high volume air samplers and vapor phase sampling using solid adsorbents. Fractionation of shale oil by liquid chromatography and toxicity studies of the PNA fractions were also performed. Data obtained during the reporting period are presented in this report.
