Abstract

The program described provides simultaneously digital control of a high-resolution spectrofluorimeter, acquisition of analog signals and data storage, and contains graphics processing to visualize spectra. Automatic evaluation software, which evaluates peak heights and calculates concentrations is included. The program runs on an IBM PC-AT2 (or compatible) equipped with interface cards; it is composed of distinct modules which are obtained through a menu. The system has been applied to the determination of 13 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); it offers high selectivity, excellent detection limits, and rapidity of data acquisition. Results obtained for 9 PAHs in a standard urban dust (SRM-1649) were satisfactory.
