Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment. They belong to a group known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Monitoring is important because they are identified as carcinogens. Multiple isomers exist, which are difficult to resolve chromatographically. SLB-ILPAH is a special purpose column based on an ionic liquid stationary phase. A distinct combination of stationary phase selectivity and efficient column dimensions allow exceptional resolution of PAHs, including several isomer sets.
