Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies a method for the determination of at least 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in drinking water and ground water in mass concentrations above 0,005 g/l and surface water in mass concentrations above 0,01 g/l (for each individual compound). The method is applicable to water samples containing up to 150 mg/l of suspended matter. The PAH include: Naphthalene, Acenaphthylene, Anthracene, Pyrene, Chrysene, Benzo[k]fluoranthene, Indeno[1,2,3_cd]pyrene, Benzo[ghi]perylene, Fluorene, Acenaphthene, Phenanthrene, Fluoranthene, Benzo[a]anthracene, Benzo[b]fluoranthenea, Benzo[a]pyrene, and Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene.
