Abstract
Sampling and reversed-phase liquid chromatographic analysis with fluorescence detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) released from biomass combustion sources is presented. PAH emissions from charcoal obtained from Acacia mearnsii and Newtonia buchananii trees, combusted in two charcoal burning stoves commonly used in Kenya (traditional metal and ceramic-lined) are compared. Particulate bound and gaseous PAH were sampled onto a glass microfibre filter and an XAD-2 resin cartridge, respectively. PAH results from samples collected in kitchens in the Kenyan Highlands are also presented and discussed in relation to indoor air pollution in developing countries.
