title: Investigation into the determination of phenols extracted from automobile exhaust gases.
abstract: A method is described in which phenols extracted from the condensate of automobile exhaust gases are determined directly by GLC. The quantities of various phenols found are calculated by using tridecane as an internal standard. The emission of phenols from cars running on fuels containing different concentrations of aromatics, and on leaded and lead-free fuels, has also been considered. The results show that the concentration of total phenols is dependent on the type of sample, and is strongly dependent on the concentration of aromatic hydrocarbons and of tetraethyl-lead in the fuel.
