Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’S) at the Low ng/l Level in the Biesbosch Water Storage Reservoirs (NETH.) for the Study of the Degradation of Chemicals in Surface Waters

  • Conference paper
Analysis of Organic Micropollutants in Water

Summary

The concentrations of six polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s) in water of the storage reservoirs of the Dutch Biesbosch have been determined since December 1980 to study photochemical degradation processes in large aquatic ecosystems. The analytical procedure developed comprises sample concentration with SEP-PAKTM cartridges followed by reversed phase HPLC with fluorescence detection. The procedure has been optimized to alLow PAH detection down to concentrations of 0.1 ng/l. Results obtained so far are being used to validate the EXAMS program, a mathematical model that predicts the envLromental fate of toxic chemicals.
