Certified PAHs in
Composite Diesel Fuel #2

There is great concern about environmental pollution caused by polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs) fromdiesel fuel: diesel internal combustion engines produce exhaust
emissions that pollute the air; diesel fuel that leaks while in storage or spills during trans-
portation will pollute soil and water systems. To address the latter issue, the US
Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) Underground Storage Tank (UST) program has
been enforcing the federal rules inmonitoring and assessingdiesel fuel contamination in soil
and water systems. In addition, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM
International) has developed analyticalmethods and procedures for priorityPAHs in fuels.
To help analytical laboratories accurately quantify and characterize PAHs in diesel fuel,
Restekoffers a referencematerial—CertifiedPAHs inCompositeDiesel Fuel #2. Prepared
from diesel #2 composite, this standard is suitable for checking both diesel #2 total petrole-
umhydrocarbons (TPH) andPAH calibrations in one analysis.After preparation and pack-
aging, the concentration of each priority PAH compound is certified by GC/MS analysis.
The complete data pack includes all gravimetric, QC, and calibration data.
✔
Confirm 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 pack available.
