Original Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with molecular weight exceeding 278 amu were analyzed in air, water, and soils from the area and vicinity of the DEZA Chemical Plant (Valasske Mezirici, 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 mu 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
