3、.1 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)narcosis model for benthic organisms in sediments contami-nated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is basedon the concentrations of dissolved PAHs in the interstitialwater or “pore water” in sediment. This test method covers theseparation

4、of pore water from PAH-impacted sedimentsamples, the removal of colloids, and the subsequent measure-ment of dissolved concentrations of the required 10 parentPAHs and 14 groups of alkylated daughter PAHs in the porewater samples. The “24 PAHs” are determined using solid-phase microextraction (SPME)

5、 followed by GasChromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis in se-lected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Isotopically labeled ana-logs of the target compounds are introduced prior to theextraction, and are used as quantification references.1.2 Lower molecular weight PAHs are more water solublethan

6、higher molecular weight PAHs. Therefore, USEPA-regulated PAH concentrations in pore water samples varywidely due to differing saturation water solubilities that rangefrom 0.2 g/L for indeno1,2,3-cdpyrene to 31 000 g/L fornaphthalene. This method can accommodate the measurementof milligram per litre

7、concentrations for low molecular weightPAHs and nanogram per litre concentrations for high molecularweight PAHs.1.3 The USEPA narcosis model predicts toxicity to benthicorganisms if the sum of the toxic units (STUc) calculated forall “34 PAHs” measured in a pore water sample is greater thanor equal

8、to 1. For this reason, the performance limit requiredfor the individual PAH measurements were defined as theconcentration of an individual PAH that would yield 1/34 of atoxic unit (TU). However, the focus of this method is the 10parent PAHs and 14 groups of alkylated PAHs (Table 1) thatcontribute 95

9、 % of the toxic units based on the analysis of 120background and impacted sediment pore water samples.3Theprimary reasons for eliminating the rest of the 5-6 ring parentPAHs are: (1) these PAHs contribute insignificantly to the porewater TU, and (2) these PAHs exhibit extremely low saturationsolubil

10、ities that will make the detection of these compoundsdifficult in pore water. This method can achieve the requireddetection limits, which range from approximately 0.01 g/L,for high molecular weight PAHs, to approximately 3 g/L forhigh molecular weight PAHs.1.4 The test method may also be applied to

11、the determina-tion of additional PAH compounds (for example, 5- and 6-ringPAHs as described in Hawthorne et al).4However, it is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish thevalidity of the test method for the determination of PAHs otherthan those referenced in 1.1 and Table 1.1.5 T

12、his standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.
