FINAL REPORT

DETERMINATION OF ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR PAHs

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A list of twenty-nine (29) polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was reviewed to Identify several aspects of applicable water and soil/solid analytical methods. Our review has included a search for EPA and other published methodolgy, a limited survey of commercial laboratory capability, a search for standards or reference compounds, a search of the NIST/EPA/NIH mass spectral library, and consideration of other Issues related to analysis of these compounds in water and soil samples. This final report represents the conclusion of Subtask 6.

Nine of the twenty-nine compounds were found in the target compound lists of several EPA methods. Commercially available standards were found for twelve of the compounds. The newest release of the NIST/EPA/NIH mass spectral database contains entries fcr tventy-six of the compounds. Other information is detailed in the following sections. A summary spreadsheet of our review is provided in Appendix 1.

Based on :he availability of reference materials, a target list of twelve of the iistied PAHs can be analyzed, depending on chromatographic resolution and sample prepai-ation recoveries. Analysis using current PAH analytical techniques for sa.ijple preparation, cleanup, chromatography, and detection should apply with little or no modification. Analysis of the seventeen unavailable compounds will be qualitatively and quantitatively tentative until reference standards can be found.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The purpose of this Vork Assignment (UA) is to identify analytical methods and other related issues for water and soil analysis targeting the twenty-nine PAHs listed in Table 1.

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are defined as organic compounds containing two or more aromatic rings (1). Compounds containing a heteroatoa in their structure are known as heterocyclic aromatic compounds (HACs) and include nitrogen-containing azaarenes and sulfur-containing thiaarenes which are not included in the subject EPA list. PAHs are ubiquitous contaminants in the environment which have gained considerable attention due to their carcinogenic character.

TECHNICAL APPROACH

Subtask I. Analytical Methods

The search for analytical methods was performed by searching the Environirental Monitoring Methods Index (EMMI, Version 1.0, Dececber, 1991), reviewing all of the methods maintained at the ICF/QATS laboratory, searching the literature using DIALOG, and contacting several chemists who have considerable experience in PAH analysis. The electronic literature search included CA SEARCH (Chemical Abstracts), Analytical Abstracts, and National Technical Information Service (NTIS). Precision and accuracy data were collected from several EPA publications.

Subtask 2. Connaercial Laboratory Capabilities

A limited survey of the capabilities and expertise of the commercial laboratory community was performed by talking with eight Individuals, all senior members of the analytical community with considerable experience in PAH analysis. These individuals are personal contacts who represent both CLP and non-CLP laboratories. A cover letter explaining our task and the list of PAHs was telefaxed to most of these individuals for their review.

Subtask 3. Standards

Trie £.vailability of ccn^iercial standards was evaluatea by reviewing the EMMI search results which Include standard suppliers, searching the supplier catalogs in the ICF/QATS laboratory, and sollcltir.g th>; V:-lp c : t \: rt.y-trhree -•-r-lf-rr by telefax.

Subtask 4. NIST/EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Library

The presence of reference mass spectra in the NIST/EPA/NIH mass spectral database was evaluated using the.library containing 53,994 entries in release 1.0, 1992. Searches were performed by c^reating artificial spectra based on molecular weight and searching the library for Chemical Abstracts Number (CAS No.). The NIST office in Maryland also searched the most recent PC version of the library for three compounds that were not found in our library.

Subtask 5. Other Experience and Concems

Our experience and concerns with analysis of these PAHs are detailed in the following section. Costs, safety, and disposal issues related to the unregulated and unavailable PAHs are very difficult to define.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Subtask 1. Analytical Methods

EPA and other standard methods were found for nine of the twenty-nine compounds:

benzo(b)fluoranthene ^ indenod . 2, 3-cd>pyrene * benzo(j)fluoranthene 3-methylcholanthrene dibenz(a,h)anthracene benz(a)ar;thracene, 7, 12-dimethyl dlbenzo(a,h)pyrene ** benzo(a)pyrene * dibenzo(a,i)pyrene **

Four coopounds (*). are targeted in up to twenty-two EPA or other standard Methods, including the CLP. Two compounds, denoted with ( * * ) , are targeted only in SW-846 Method 8100, a GCFID PAH-specific method. The other three compounds are listed in from two to four methods, including Methods 8250, 8270A, 8100, 1625, 525, and D4763.

No EPA or other standard methods were found for the following twenty compounds:

benzo(c)phenanthrene, 4-methyl 3-methylcholanthrene, 1,2-dlhydro benzo(c)phenanthrene, 5-methyl benz(a)anthracene, 5,6-dihydro-7,12-dimethyl benzo(c)phenanthrene, 6-methyl dibenzo(a,l)pyrene chrysene, 5-ethyl benz(a)anthracene, 6-methyl chrysene, 5-methyl ber.z (a)anthracene, 7-Eethyl cyclopenta(c,d)pyrene benz(a)anthracene , o - L.i L i i y i

Table 2 includes summaries of EPA methods used for PAH analysis, including method title and number, source of methods, compounds analyzed for, preparation technique, instrumental technique, matrix(ces), detection limit definition and units, and detection limits for one of the listed compounds, benzo(a)pyrene. Table 3 is a summary for each of the nine EPA target compounds, organized in a format similar to the EMMI database from which it was largely derived. Although we have made every effort to search all of the available references, including the methods from the states of California and Washington, it is entirely possible that some of these compounds appear in some state, health, or other regulatory methodolgy which we have not found.

Many other references were found for the analysis of the PAHs which are not targeted In EPA and other regulatory methods (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). These references include a compilation of electron impact mass spectra for ten of the compounds (3), prediction of high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) retention indices for twenty-two of the listed compounds (4), relationships between liquid chromatography and PAH molecular shape for sixteen of the listed PAHs (5), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for seven of the compounds (6), and negative ion chemical ionization (NCI) mass spectrometry for three compounds (7). Recent literature contains many other references for air particulate analysis, combustion and fuel analysis, synthesis, and biological studies.

Precision and accuracy information for the four P.AHs most frequently targeted in EPA metiiods is listed in Tabic -, This ^:ii^rz.a^ L...n --s cG::, :;lcd from Che hardcopy of our most current copies of the n:ethcds (9, 10, 11, 12) and includes historical quarterly blind data frsm QBiri'88 through QB3ri"92 (13). With the exception of one small set of data for spiked clay from SW-846 method 8270A, all of the precision and accuracy data that we have found Is from water analyses.

Eight of the methods list precision and accuracy data deriving from two sources. SW-846 Methods 8100 and 8310 (Sept 1986), EMSLC Method 610, and Standard Method 6440, which are HPLC-UV/FL and GCFID methods, list precision and accuracy information from a multllaboratory study involving 16 labs analyzing six water matrices over a range of 0.1 to 425 ug/L. Similarly, the GCMS data in SW-846 Methods 8250, 8270A, EMSLC Method 625, and Standard Method 6410, all derive from a multllaboratory study involving 15 laboratories analyzing at least four water matrices over a range of 5 to 1300 ug/L. Precision and accuracy data in Methods 525 and 1625 are from smaller sets of four, seven, or eight replicate analyses in clean water.

Referenced sample preparation methodology for PAHs in water includes liquid-liquid separatory funnel techniques (SW-846 Method 3510), continuous liquid extraction (SW-846 Method 3520). and 1iquid-sol id extraction (LSE). Judging by the poor recoveries in .Method 325 urir.g LSt. this technique appears to be the least desirable water preparation technique. Soils and solids are generally extracted using Scx l . l c t extraction {S'.--£^t- y:-::].c:ds 35AO s.r.d 3341). •:1 trascr.i c-.T i'-'H ''?y-F-'46 .'.e'rhod 3550), and s-.:pe rr r i t •;,- 1 fluid extraction

We understand that SFE, as a result of input from Hewlett Packard and Environment Canada, is a current topic for evaluation by OSW in expanding the scope of Method 3560 (Supercritical Fluid Extraction) to Include PAHs and chlorinated phenol^.

Sample clean-up techniques for PAHs Include silica gel techniques (SW­846 Method 3630), florisil chromatography (SW-846 Method 3620), gel permeation chromatography (GPC, SW-846 Methoq 3 6 ^ 0 ) , and alumina column chromatography (SW-846 Method 3611). GPC removes' interfering lipids from biological sources. Florisil, silica gel, and alumina clean-ups are suggested for removal or fractionation of polar and dissimilar nonpolar Interferences.

Final instrumental detection techniques for PAHs are almost always coupled with either liquid chromatography (LC or HPLC)) or gas chromatography (GC). The most common detectors for liquid chromatography are ultraviolet (U\') and fluorescent (FL) instruments. HPLC methods include SW-846 Method 8310, EPA Method 550.1 for drinking water, and EPA Method 610 for wastewater. A quick turnaround HPLC method using wavelength programmed U\' and FL detectors has been described for water, soil, and waste oil matrices (16). One HPLC thermospray mass spectrometry (HPLC/TSP/MS) EPA method, SW-846 Method 8321, is currently used for disperse azo dyes and organosposphorus compounds. Although P.AHs are not targeted in this method, mass spectrometry is a viable PAH detection technique with HPLC.

Jas chromatography techniques include flar:;e ionization detectors (GCFID), described in SW-846 Method 8100, and mass spectrometry (GCMS), described in CLP OLM02, SW-846 Methods 8250 and 8270A, EPA Methods 625, 525, and 1625, among others. High efficiency capillary columns (CGC) are the desired choice for GC analysis. Although mass spectrometry is the most versatile technique providing the most confident qualitative analysis, SW-846 Method 8100, a GCFID method, includes 24 target PAHs, the largest set of target PAHs in any EPA method that we have reviewed. GC-Fourier Transform Infrared (GC-FTIR) coupled with GCMS has also been described for PAH analysis (17, 1 8 ) . We have not reviewed any immunological or radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods.

Subtask 2. Commercial Laboratory Survey

Analysis of the list of PAHs was discussed with the following individuals. The list of PAHs was sent to each of them along with a cover letter explaining our information gathering effort.

All of these people expressed an interest and willingness to examine the

list of PAHs. At least two of these laboratory representatives also indicated

a willingness to perform analysis. The most common comment on the potential

analysis of these PAHs was a concern that for those compounds which are

unavailable in standard or reference form, analysis would be both

qualitatively and quantitatively tentative, requiring some combination of

GCMS, N'MR, or GCFTIR, to confidently identify some of the isomers. Several

individuals indicated that at first glance, analysis of the listed PAHs should

be possible with any of the GCMS methods. Several people also expressed

relief that the list does not contain any heterocyclic compounds, many of

whichL are kr.cwn to behave poorlv ir. traditional GC analysis.

Specific commercial costs for analysis of the list of PAHs have been

discussed only briefly. Although rhe cost of standards for two of the

additional compounds Is relatively high, no significant cost difference from

traditional PAH analysis is expected, provided analysis of the rare compounds

is not dependent on obtaining rare or nonexistent standards and is not

constrained with unrealistic QA/QC criteria.

Subtask 3. Standards

Commercial sources of standards were found for twelve of the twenty-nine

compounds. In addition to the compounds which appear on the target lists of

EPA methods, which are readily available from many different suppliers,

sources were found for the following three compounds:

was found in Crescent Chemical of Hauppauge, NY (tele: 1-800-877-3225, FAX (516) 348-0913).

Several contacts. Including Triangle Labs and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Frederick, Maryland, mentioned private collections of rare PAHs. Given the number of literature references for most of the compounds, it seems likely that such collections of these compounds do exist.

Subtask 4. NIST/EFA/UIH Mass Spectral Database

With the following exceptions, all of the PAHs were found in the NIST/EPA/NIH mass spectral database:

CAS No, Compound Name

5385-75-1 Dibenzo(a,e)fluoranthene 189-64-0 Dibenzo(a,h)pyrene 189-55-9 Dibenzo(a,i)pyrene

The results of our search of NIST revision 1.0, 1992, were checked against the newest NIST PC version of the library. Personnel at NIST confirmed the absence of these entries. The Wiley cass spectral lihrar;.- vas not examined.

Most PAHs have relatively simple electron impact mass spectra, dorrinated by a molecular ion (M+), Ions at (M+)-l, (M+)-2, (M+)-3, and a doubly charged ion at (M+)/2. Ions at (M+)-26, (M+)-27, and (M-t-)-28. which derive from expulsion of C2H2 from the molecular ions, are also observed. Methylated compounds yield a (M-i-)-L5 ion. Differences between the mass spectra of isomeric compounds are very small, making definitive library matching very difficult. Confident PAH identification in GCMS analysis usually requires reference retention times.

Subtask 5. Summary

BaSFd on our experience and the comments of the people contacted for this review, £CMS analysis is the most promising technique for analysis of these compounds.

Similar mass "spectra will also be encountered with the molecular weight (MW) 256, 258, and 302 Isomers. We do not expect that the mass spectra for compounds in these isomer sets are different enough to provide unambiguous identification. Chromatographic resolution or reference retention indices of these isomers will be required for positive identification.

The three molecular weight (MW) 302 compounds are the heaviest and probably the latest elutlng compounds on the list. Two of these compounds, dlbenzo(a,h)pyrene and dlbenzo(a,1)pyrene, are target compounds in SW-846 Method 8100, a GCFID technique. The third MV 302 compound, dibenzo(a,l)pyrene, does not appear on any target list but is available as a standard. The ability to resolve two of these high molecular weight PAHs is evidence of the power of capillary gas chromatography and demonstrates analytical capability without mass spectrometry or other specific detectors. Tb.e ability to resolve dibenzo(a, l)pyrene will be easy to define since all three compounds are available.

Cyclopenta(c,d)pyrene, one of the non-target but available PAKs, has been identified in at least one set of PAH analyses using GCMS when several other traditional target PAHs were present (19). The molecular weight of this compound, 226, is unique in this set of compounds, and along with a reliable n.;tcnticn, tirtc-. uniz.bi e.uous • dent i f i cat i or. should be possible. The relatively lev molecular weight of this compound also suggests that this co:::pound might be the eariiest eluting analyte on the list.

The third non-target available compound, dibenz(a,c)anthracene, shares molecular weight 278 with only one other PAH on the list. The other molecular weight 278 compound, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, is a target compound in several methods and standards are readily available. If chromatographic conditions allow resolution o£ the these two compounds, analysis is straightforward.

Safety and disposal issues related to the unregulated compounds are completely undefined. Given the carcinogenic nature of many PAHs, the same precautions exercised with regulated PAHs should be exercised with the unregulated compounds unless other information becomes available.

c: such a target list. Chromatographic resolution and sample preparation are the primary concerns in such experiments. Analysis for the other rare compounds will be qualitatively and quantitatively tentative in the commercial laboratory community until reference materials can be found. The only viable commercial approach for the unavailable PAHs is analysis as "Reverse Search" compounds, the approach taken by the Office of Science and Technology in the Effluent Guidelines program (20). This approach involves looking for mass spectra of the compounds in specified regions of the chromatogram for qualitative identification. Chromatographic performance of some of these compounds might be predicted from the retention indices in references 4 and 5. Quantitation can be performed using the current procedures for tentatively Identified compounds (TICs).
