Abstract: | Two spectrofluorimetric methods, second-derivative constant-energy synchronous luminescence (SDCESL) and constant-wavelength synchronous luminescence (CWSL) in combination with multiple linear regression (MLR), for the quantification of benzoa]pyrene (BaP) at sub-ng mL-1 levels, in the presence of benzob]fluoranthene (BbFt), benzok]fluoranthene (BkFt), benzoghi]perylene (BghiP) and indeno1,2,3-cd]pyrene (IP), were developed and compared in detail. SDCESL presents lower limits of detection and quantification than CWSL/MLR and also gives more exact and precise results for levels close to the quantification limit. For BaP, SDCESL achieved quantification limits of 0.019 ng mL-1 in river waters and 0.007 ng mL-1 in drinking waters. This work offers a sensitive, precise, accurate, rapid, simple and economic methodology for monitoring BaP in waters for public consumption, meeting all the requirements of the EC Directive 98/83/CE that fixes the maximum admissible limit for this polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in drinking waters at of 0.010 ng mL-1. |
