Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the most frequently monitored environmental contaminants. YMC PAH columns have been specifically developed for the highly demanding analysis of Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons.
Standard and official methods for the analysis of PAHs are found in compendia for air, drinking water, waste water, solid waste, and food analysis. Many of these methods specify HPLC, usually with UV or fluorescence detection, as recommended analytical procedure.

The YMC PAH columns provide narrow symmetrical peak shapes and its resolving ability leads to an easy identification and quantification for PAHs. The optimised selectivity of YMC PAH columns results in a separation with enough space for wavelength changes by the use of fluorescence detectors.
