Article Synopsis
- The study utilized activated carbon fiber filter paper (ACFP) for simultaneously monitoring PAHs and POPs in the atmosphere, employing the pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) method to extract these compounds.
- Although toluene was effective in extracting most PAHs and POPs, some PAHs like benzo(a)pyrene were difficult to extract due to their adsorption on atmospheric particulate matter; hence, a quartz fiber paper (QFP) was incorporated for more efficient collection.
- Monitoring in the Niigata area revealed that while many PAHs and some POPs were detected, certain POPs like aldrin and mirex were not, confirming the effectiveness of the modified collection method for tracking these compounds.
