title: Identification and quantification of EPA 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollutants by Maximum-Quantum NMR.
abstract: We demonstrate here that the recently introduced Maximum-Quantum NMR analytical strategy is apt for the identification and quantification of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollutants in a mixture and does not need prior separation. The accuracy of the procedure, the response of which is linear in concentration, was assessed and its feasibility was demonstrated down to a concentration of about 30 μM.
