Average recoveries of 1-nitropyrene from spiked glass fiber filters ranged from 88.4% to 101.2% for an alyte quantities of 1.0 to 50.0 :g/filter using liquid standards as the spiking solution. Recovery of 1-nitropyrene from NIST SRM-1650 Diesel Particulates weighed on glass fiber filters and carried through the extraction and sam ple preparation process yielded recoveries of 73% to 114% (see NOTE) for sample quantities of 1.63 mg to 26.6 mg.

Inject sample with autosampler or by manual injection. NOTE: If peak are a is above the linear range of the calibra tion sta nda rds, dilute the sam ple with toluene, reanalyze, and apply the appropriate dilution factor in calculations. 10. Measure peak area of 1-nitropyrene peak and determine μg per sample from calibration graph.

Place a 37 mm glass fiber filter on top of the space r ring (do not use a supp ort pad) . b. Inoc ulate the filter with a k now n am oun t of ca libration s tock solution with a m icroliter syringe, place the top section of the cassette in place and seal the filter in place by squeezing the two sections together. c. Place the plugs in the inlet and outlet tubing stubs and set the cassettes aside for a minimum of twelve hou rs. d. Prepare the filter samples (steps 4 & 5) and analyze with the calibration standards. e. Prepare a graph of R vs. μg 1-nitropyrene. 8.
