A new liquid chromatography (LC) method was developed that separates 26 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), 6 alkylated derivatives, and 11 photo-oxidation products in a single LC run followed by sensitive fluorescence detection (FLD) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Hybrid triple quadrupole linear ion trap (4000 Q TRAP and QTRAP 5500 systems) were operated in highly selective Multiple...
