ABATRACT:Because of high degree of industrialization, the use of large numbervehicles and the operation of many incinerators, problems caused by air pollution are becoming well-known. Among these pollutants, PAHs are currently regulated by some highly developed countries, such as U.S.,due to their mutagenecityand carcinogenecity . In this study , the analysis of PAHs in airborne particulates is based on supercritical fluid extraction(SFE), soxhlet extraction, and gel permeation chromatography(GPC) followed by HPLC-UV - Fluoescence.with the optimized intrumental conditions, accuracy and precision of the method are varified by the analysis of SRM 1649. The recoveries through SFE range from 36.67 ﹪∼ 76.92 ﹪. The overall recoveries after SFE/Soxhlet extraction range from 74.23 ﹪∼ 110.89 ﹪ . Comparison of the Soxhlet/SFE method and SFE method for the analysis of PAHs in SRM 1649, shows that Soxhlet/ SFE method gave higher extraction efficiencies; but SFE method provided more rapid extraction.The deection limits of studied methodare 0.17 ∼ 3.86 μg/mL and 0.39 ∼ 2.44 μg/mL.
