Abstract
A TLC/HPLC procedure for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), occuring in asphalt fumes (adsorbed on particular matter), is described. The method is based on extraction of asphalt fume particles, collected on glass fibre filters, using CCK4. Following a clean up step by the aid of a TLC procedure on Al2 O3 thinlayer plates, using a mixture of cyclohexane/acetone/ether as the mobile phase. Under UV-light, occuring PAH are indicated as fluorescent spots. A separation of the collected PAH into individual components and their identification is performed by the aid of a HPLC procedure. Futher-more, an approach was made to verify the separated PAH by their fluorescence spectra and their mass spectra.
