“ 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. ”
