Özet

In this study a rapid and environmentally friendly analysis method for the determination of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (PAHs) in water was developed and validated. Water samples were extracted by modified QuEChERS method and analysed by gas chromatography mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Analytical separation was achieved in 18 min. The calibration curves were linear in the selected range of each analyte. Limit of detections of PAHs were between 0.16 and 0.31 mu g kg(-1) % Recovery, repeatability (RSDr) and reproducibility (RSDR) values met AOAC method validation acceptance criteria.
