Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are of considerable analytical interest due to their environmental effects. On-line monitoring of these compounds based on microdroplet sampling requires accurate characterization of their solubilities and surface adsorption. A new method to determine aqueous solubility and surface adsorption of PAHs is suggested, using a combination of microdroplet sampling and multiphoton ionization-based fast-conductivity (MPI-FC) techniques.

A multi-photon ionization based fast conductance (MPI-FC) technique was applied to detect combustion byproduct aerosols. These PAH-polluted aerosols were on-line sampled by means of renewable water microdroplets. The environmental cases considered here have involved such common air contaminants as motor car exhaust gas and cigarette smoke.
