Characterization of Waste - Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) in Waste Using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15527 standard provides a method for quantitatively determining 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in waste using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). These PAHs are identified based on the priority list of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from 1982. The standard is applicable for various types of waste including contaminated soil, sludge and rubble, bitumen, and waste containing bitumen.
The method outlined in the standard involves using GC-MS for the analysis. This analytical technique combines gas chromatography, which separates the components of a mixture, with mass spectrometry, which identifies and quantifies the individual components. By using GC-MS, the standard aims to achieve a lower limit of application of 0.1 mg/kg for each individual PAH.
