Abstract

A back-flushing procedure using porous graphitic carbon (PGC) HPLC columns has been used successfully for the cleanup of soil samples for the determination of benzo[a]pyrene in ppb levels by an ODS-fluorescence HPLC column. The procedure was tested on nine random soil samples taken from an industrial area of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The mean percent recovery from the PGC column was 96% and the average coefficient of variation for the whole method was 5.2%.
