A method for determining benzo(a)pyrene in air samples collected on glass fiber filters in occupational areas.
Benzo(a)pyrene was analyzed in air samples collected on glass fiber filters in occupational areas. Vacuum sublimation, thin-layer chromatography on acetylated cellulose, and fluorescence scanning of the thin layer plate were performed. The recovery of the method was estimated by an isotope dilution technique using 3H-benzo(a)pyrene. Special equipment was constructed for sublimation. The detection limit for authentic samples was found to be about 10 pmoles per filter.
