PAH form a large class of ubiquitous pollutants mainly of anthropogenic origin. Several PAH found in air particulates have been identified as carcinogens and mutagens. Sixteen of these PAH have been listed by the USEPA as priority pollutants. This research is concerned with the development and optimisation of a method for the analysis of these sixteen PAH in air particulates. Soxhlet and ultrasonic extraction procedures were investigated to optimise the recoveries from spiked glass fibre filters with a standard 1ppm mixture of the 16PAH. Standard mixtures of the 16 PAH were analysed by HPLC with fluorescence detection with approx. linearity …

Argonne National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy facility that is operated by the University of Chicago and located southwest of Chicago, Illinois, has proposed a collaborative effort by the United States and Poland to conduct applied research on energy and environmental topics of common interest. Through this collaboration, evaluative studies on energy and environmental assessment issues could be developed and implemented by Argonne and one or more sister institutions in Poland, which could lead to active research, development, and demonstration joint activities. The objective of this initiative is to produce strategies and options for review by Poland's decision makers …
