Original Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with molecular weight exceeding 278 amu were analyzed in air, water, and soils from the area and vicinity o/the DEZA Chemical Plant (Valašské Meziříčí, Czech Republic). Air and water were sampled using semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs); grab sampling was applied for soils. Laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LDI-TOF MS) and liquid chromatography/ion trap mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (LC/APCI-ITMS) were employed for the quick assessment of PAH distribution and for the identification and quantification of some high-molecular-weight PAHs. Compounds with molecular mass up to 450 u were found. LDI-TOF mass spectra and selected LC/APCI-ITMS profiles (m/z 303, m/z 327, and m/z 351) were compared to identify potential source of contamination in this locality. High-molecular-weight PAHs were found in all environmental compartments in the area studied; their levels were quite high close to their source and deereased sharply with icreasing distance from it.
