摘要：Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) belong to the most frequently occurring organic pollutants in environment besides polychlorinated compounds. Their influence on organisms is relatively well understood in animals especially humans. On the other hand, the influence of PAHs on plants has not yet been adequately explained and described. In this study, we have attempted to develop a rapid method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using chromatographic columns with reversed phase and UV detection for rapid separation and simultaneous determination of nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, pyrene, naphthalene, anthracene, benzo[a]anthracene, methylanthracene, triphenylene and coronene. The detection limit ranged down to sub-micrograms per ml for all studied PAHs.
