Certification of the Mass Fraction of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Toluene - Certified Reference Materials ERM®-AC213

Abstract

This report describes the preparation of a calibration solution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (ERM-AC213) containing benzo[a]pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, cyclopenta[cd]pyrene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[j]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[ghi]perylene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, dibenzo[a,e]pyrene, dibenzo[a,i]pyrene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, 5-methylchrysene and benzo[c]fluorene and the certification of their content (mass fraction) in the solution. The preparation of the calibrant, homogeneity and stability studies and confirmation measurements with a discussion of the results are described hereafter. Uncertainties were calculated in compliance with the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) [1] and include uncertainties due to the processing, purity assessment and possible instability.JRC.DG.D.2-Reference material
