Monofluorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: Surrogate standards for HPLC analysis of surface water and sediment samples

abstract

• A study was conducted to demonstrate the potential use of selected F-PAHs, 1-fluoronaphthalene (F-Np), 1-fluoropyrene (F-Py), and 9-fluorobenzo(k) fluoranthene (F-BkF1), as surrogate standards (SSs) in the analysis of PAHs in surface and sediment samples from the Danube River, Hungary. An accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) process followed by a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique was applied. Recoveries of selected F-PAHs and corresponding PAHs were generally good and similar within experimental errors. However, recovery of F-Np in surface water was poor (29.2%), and F-Py could not be extracted from sediment samples. The results indicate that only F-Py and F-BkFl were suitable SSs for surface water samples while F-Np and F-BkFl showed potential as SSs for sediments. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
