Three different sample pretreatment methods (methanolic HCI with or without tropolone and enzymic extraction) and two final determination procedures (GC-MS and GC-QFAAS) have been applied independently to the determination of butyltin compounds in two mussel samples polluted at different levels.

✦ Synopsis
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate a simplified version of an HPLC method for the determination of PAH in suspended particles collected from small air volumes indoors, outdoors or in personal exposure measurements. The simplification consisted in: (a) collecting PAH by low-volume samplers; (b) extracting PAH ultrasonically; and (c) omitting separation of interfering substances before analysis by HPLC. The results show that the introduction of these modifications affords a considerable reduction in analysis time and solvent expenditure, without affecting the quality of measurement.
