Title
Standard Test Method for Determination of Gaseous and Particulate Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Ambient Air (Collection on Sorbent-Backed Filters with Gas Chromatographic/Mass Spectrometric Analysis)
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 10, 1998
Scope:
This test method(Footnote 2) specifies sampling, cleanup, and analysis
procedures for the
determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in ambient
air.
This test method is designed to collect both gas-phase and
particulate-phase PAH and to determine
them collectively.
This test method is a high-volume sampling (100 to 250 L/min) method
capable of detecting PAH at
sub-nanograms per cubic metre (ng/m³) concentrations with
sampling volumes up to 350 m³
of air.
This test method has been validated for sampling periods up to 24 h.
Precision and bias under normal conditions can be expected to be
±35 to 50 %.
This test method describes a sampling and analysis procedure for PAH
that involves collection from
air on a combination fine-particle filter and sorbent trap and
subsequent analysis by gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
The range of this test method is approximately 0.05 to 1000 ng/m³
of air sampled.
The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use. See also
Section 8 for additional safety precautions.
Footnote 2 - This test method is based on U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency Compendum Method
TO-13, Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic
Compounds in Ambient Air,
Report No. EPA/600-4-89/018, June 1988, available from the National
Technical Information Service,
5285 Port Royal Rd., Springfield, VA 22161, Order No. PB90-11989/AS.
