Selected ion chromatograms and tandem mass spectrometry for detection of trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in diesel exhaust

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) measurements are essential for scientists and engineers who investigate these anthropogenic compounds. Diesel engines contribute to the problem, so analysts are measuring PAHs from these sources. However, diesel exhaust presents special problems for precise analytical measurements. The exhaust matrix is very complex; consequently, PAH detection sensitivity deteriorates, especially for trace PAHs in the exhaust. Yet, these are conditions and amounts that exist in real samples. Nonetheless, selected ion chromatogram (SIC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques improve trace PAH detection; ion trap technology makes both mass techniques possible. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate SIC and MS/MS for applications to measure PAHs in diesel exhaust samples. The signal-to-noise ratio for accurate quantitation improves, relative to traditional mass techniques, because these techniques ignore or eliminate interfering components. On a VF-5MS chromatographic column, these techniques improve sensitivity and reproducibility. They produce a superior limit of detection in the useful range for PAH samples extracted from actual engine exhaust, 10-30 pg for the smaller PAHs and 1-6 ng for the larger PAHs. The results with SIC and MS/MS are reproducible, so analysts can report PAH amounts with defined statistical confidence intervals. SIC and MS/MS improve detection for trace PAHs in convoluted diesel exhaust samples.     

A Review of Instrumentation,Test, and Sampling Procedures

An assessment has been made of the state of emission measurement technology to determine whether measurement techniques are sufficiently well advanced to support the development of emission control methods and the implementation of emission standards for aircraft engines. The conclusion drawn from this assessment is that current measurement technology will meet most of the requirements of an emission control program. Certain measurement techniques are inadequate at present but development of improved techniques appears to be proceeding at a satisfactory rate.     

Application of Forensic Techniques for Age Dating and Source Identification in Environmental Litigation

A multitude of forensic techniques are available for age dating and source identification, including corrosion models for underground storage tanks, the commercial availability of a compound, chemical associations with discrete types of manufacturing processes, chemical profiling, proprietary additives, stable isotope analysis, degradation models, biomarkers and contaminant transport models. The selection and use of these techniques in environmental litigation must be thoroughly understood and applied to be effective as forensic evidence. When introduced as scientific evidence, the governing assumptions and quality of the data are critically evaluated and frequently successfully challenged. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of commonly used environmental forensic techniques and their possible applications so that a user can decide which technique or combination of methods is most appropriate for their case.

Selected Ion Chromatograms and Tandem Mass Spectrometry for Detection of Trace Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Diesel Exhaust

Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) measurements are essential for scientists and engineers who investigate these anthropogenic compounds. Diesel engines contribute to the problem, so analysts are measuring PAHs from these sources. However, diesel exhaust presents special problems for precise analytical measurements. The exhaust matrix is very complex; consequently, PAH detection sensitivity deteriorates, especially for trace PAHs in the exhaust. Yet, these are conditions and amounts that exist in real samples. Nonetheless, selected ion chromatogram (SIC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques improve trace PAH detection; ion trap technology makes both mass techniques possible. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate SIC and MS/MS for applications to measure PAHs in diesel exhaust samples. The signal-to-noise ratio for accurate quantitation improves, relative to traditional mass techniques, because these techniques ignore or eliminate interfering components. On a VF-5MS chromatographic column, these techniques improve sensitivity and reproducibility. They produce a superior limit of detection in the useful range for PAH samples extracted from actual engine exhaust, 10–30 pg for the smaller PAHs and 1–6 ng for the larger PAHs. The results with SIC and MS/MS are reproducible, so analysts can report PAH amounts with defined statistical confidence intervals. SIC and MS/MS improve detection for trace PAHs in convoluted diesel exhaust samples.     

Soil and Compost Filters of Malodorant Gases

Removing low concentrations of pollutant gases from air streams is difficult and expensive.^1,2 Removal techniques include water scrubbing (with and without permanganate, hypochlorite, or lime), burning, and sorption by activated charcoal. The shortcomings of these techniques are that they require fuel, maintenance, water, high capital costs, they pollute the wash water, and/or some concentrate only, rather than remove the offender.

Critical Review of Environmental Forensic Techniques: Part II

A multitude of forensic techniques are available for age dating and source identification, including aerial photography interpretation, corrosion models, the commercial availability of a chemical, chemical associations with discrete types of equipment, chemical profiling, degradation models and contaminant transport models. The success of these techniques in environmental litigation and their applicability to a particular fact situation is rarely discussed in the literature. When these techniques are introduced as scientific evidence, their governing assumptions and the adequacy of the underlying data are rigorously scrutinized and often, successfully challenged. The purpose of this paper is to review selected forensic techniques and discuss their merits so that the user can select the technique or combination of techniques most appropriate for the factual elements of the case.

A new device for formaldehyde and total aldehydes real-time monitoring

A new sensitive technique for the quantification of formaldehyde (HCHO) and total aldehydes has been developed in order to monitor these compounds, which are known to be involved in air quality issues and to have health impacts. Our approach is based on a colorimetric method where aldehydes are initially stripped from the air into a scrubbing solution by means of a turning coil sampler tube and then derivatised with 3-methylbenzothiazolinone-2-hydrazone in acid media (pH?=??0.5). Hence, colourless aldehydes are transformed into blue dyes that are detected by UV–visible spectroscopy at 630 nm. Liquid core waveguide LCW Teflon® AF-2400 tube was used as innovative optical cells providing a HCHO detection limit of 4 pptv for 100 cm optical path with a time resolution of 15 min. This instrument showed good correlation with commonly used techniques for aldehydes analysis such as DNPH derivatisation chromatographic techniques with off-line and on-line samplers, and DOAS techniques (with deviation below 6 %) for both indoor and outdoor conditions. This instrument is associated with simplicity and low cost, which is a prerequisite for indoor monitoring.     

Organizational and Operational Techniques for Relieving Manpower Shortages in Air Pollution Control Agencies

Many governmental air pollution control agencies are confronted with a shortage of manpower, both in terms of numbers of people and qualifications of available staff members. This paper discusses a number of techniques which may be used to relieve this manpower shortage. The techniques are discussed in terms of collaboration between state and local agencies; organizational structures which make maximum use of scarce categories of people; program policies which conserve the time of agency staff; operating schemes which save travel time and minimize skills required; and working tools that can be used to get the greatest production with available personnel.     

Critical Review of Environmental Forensic Techniques: Part I

A multitude of forensic techniques are available for age dating and source identification, including aerial photography interpretation, corrosion models, the commercial availability of a compound, chemical associations with discrete type processes, chemical profiling, degradation models and contaminant transport models. These techniques, however, are rarely challenged or discussed in the literature relative to the scrutiny encountered in environmental litigation. When introduced as scientific evidence, the governing assumptions and quality of the data are critically evaluated and frequently successfully challenged. The purpose of this paper is to review five types of forensic techniques and discuss their merits so that a user can decide which technique, or combination of techniques, is most appropriate for developing the technical portion of a case.
