Opis (eng)

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants with known carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. In order to monitor their presence in complex food and environmental matrices, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was employed as a reli- able sample preparation technique. To minimize environmental impact, green solvents are used as alternatives to more hazardous traditional solvents. Quantification and confirmation of 16 target PAHs were performed using gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), ensuring high sensitivity and selectivity. This study compared toluene and ethyl acetate as PAH extraction solvents in water samples at lower and higher concentrations (10 µg/L and 100 µg/L). Both solvents extracted similar amounts of the 16 target PAHs from water, although the AGREE tool favours ethyl acetate over toluene, due to the former’s environmental and safety benefits.
