Development of an analytical method for the simultaneous determination of 22 Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in maternal and umbilical cord blood by Swiha, Stéphanie, Pichon, Valérie, Fournier, Thierry, Gil, Sophie, Delaunay, Nathalie

“…Consequently, the determination of PAHs in maternal serum and umbilical cord blood is necessary but challenging, due to their highly varied physico-chemical properties and trace presence. The aim of this project was to develop a method enabling, for the first time, the simultaneous determination of 22 listed PAHs from small volumes (100 ${\mu }$L) of maternal serum and umbilical cord blood, including a sample pre-treatment reducing as far as possible the quantity of solvents used. …”
