polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Luminescence of PAH (anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, fluoranthene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(a)pyrene) in aqueous media and in the solid phase of cellulose diacetate is investigated. It is established that solid surface luminescence (SSL) analysis increases the detection sensitivity of PAH in water without extraction and preconcentration with organic solvents, an exception is chrysene. The spectral characteristics show SSL-method to be using for detection of indicator isomers pairs of PAH.

Soil-inhabiting ligninolytic basidiomycetes, such as Stropharia rugosoannulata, play an important role in the transformation of soil organic matter, including the degradation of pollutants. Information on the mechanisms of degradation of xenobiotics by these fungi and their ligninolytic enzymes is still limited. The degradative activity of the soil-inhabiting basidiomycete S. rugosoannulata towards four-rings PAHs was revealed. Fluorene and 2-carboxybenzaldehyde have been identified as products of degradation of fluoranthene and pyrene. The laccase of S.

The ability of using cellulose diacetate (CDA) as matrix for luminescent determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in aqueous media was studied. PAH sorption was carried out on the example of pyrene from water solutions. Cellulose diacetate matrix was modified by anionic and cationic surfactants - sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The comparative analysis of dependence of fluorescence intensity and polarity index of pyrene was carried out.
