摘要

The need for rugged, portable instruments for field use at hazardous waste sites has led to development of a new generation of compact gas chromatographs, field-portable X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF) units, and even portable mass spectrometers. These instruments bring the laboratory to the field for most environmental analyses, especially at the screening and semiquantitative levels. Tests that once required transporting samples back to a fully equipped laboratory now can be done without delay in the field. Portable gas chromatographs have made on-site analysis of volatile organic compounds easier, and FPXRF has expedited analysis of inorganic compounds. But the analysis of high molecular weight organic compounds, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), has remained a difficult problem for scientists engaged in site characterization. PAHs occur in oils, creosotes, tars, and other complex mixtures in many hazardous waste sites. Sites contaminated with creosotes from wood preservation operations, for example, are especially widespread in the southeastern United States. Substances such as tars, oils, and creosotes can pyrolize and plug up costly gas chromatography (GC) columns and detectors. Yet GC is currently the most common method for field analysis of higher molecular weight compounds. Until now, analysts could only modify sample preparation procedures, which risks compromising the sample integrity.
