Description
Summary:High resolution gas chromatography—flame ionization detection (GCFID) with on-column injection was used for quantitative analysis of oxy-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (oxy-PAH), nitro-PAH, and phthalate esters in the extracts of three different diesel exhaust particulate samples. Various compounds in the extracts were sorted into different compound classes by high-performance liquid chromatography fractionation and then, components were tentatively identified by GC—mass spectrometry and retention indices. Combined with the quantitative results obtained in previous studies, the comparative quantitative bar diagrams with more than one hundred polycyclic aromatic compounds were constructed for these three diesel particulate extracts. Some results of the quantitative analysis can be related to response in a toxicity test of the original extracts.
