Certified PAHs in Diesel
- Confirms diesel #2 TPH and priority PAHs in a single analysis.
- Certificate of Analysis includes concentration of TPH and certified concentrations of individual PAHs.
- Complete data packs available.
There is great environmental concern about pollution caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from diesel fuel. Unfortunately, there are many diesel fuel-related pollution sources--diesel internal combustion engines from locomotives, trucks, buses, and construction equipment produce exhaust emissions that pollute the air. Diesel fuel that leaks while in storage and spills during transportation will pollute the surrounding soil and water systems.
To address this pollution issue, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set new emission standards for diesel engines in 2004. The EPA Underground Storage Tank (UST) program has been enforcing the federal rules in monitoring and assessing diesel fuel contamination in soil and water systems. In addition, the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM International) developed various analytical methods and procedures for the analysis of priority PAHs in fuels.
As part of the effort in complying with federal and state regulations, and to help analytical laboratories accurately quantify and characterize PAHs in diesel, Restek offers a reference material--Certified PAHs in Diesel Fuel #2. This standard is suitable for checking both diesel #2 total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and PAH calibrations in one run. They are prepared from diesel #2 composite and, after preparation and packaging, the concentration of each priority PAH compound is certified by GC/MS analysis. Complete data packs are available that include all gravimetric, QC, and calibration data.
