| Abstract | A solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled with a liquid chromatographic procedure with fluorimetric detection was established for the determination of PAHs, priority pollutants listed by EPA (acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, dibenzo(a,h)anthracene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, indeno(1,2,3-c,d)pyrene) in waters intended for human consumption. Acting on wavelengths detection, significant improvements on limits of quantitation were achieved: worthy of note is the 40-fold enhancement of sensitivity obtained for benzo(g,h,i)perylene, whose concentration is regulated by the European Community (EC) Directives. The SPE procedure was optimized for some parameters including solvent volumes for cartridge conditioning, sample volumes, presence of methanol in the sample, obtaining significant recovery enhancement also for low-boiling PAHs, phenanthrene and anthracene, whose determination is hampered by their high vapor pressure and Henry's law constant values. Advantages of this procedure are low quantitation limits (0.04–1 ng L−1), reduced solvent volumes used (and disposed), reduced analysis times that enable the processing of 24 samples per day, and a lower cost of the whole analysis. The whole analysis protocol enabled the determination of PAHs in drinking waters at concentrations lower than 1 ng L−1, two orders of magnitude lower than what is currently required by the EC Directive. The protocol derived was validated for its accuracy inside an inter-laboratory study and it is now currently routinely applied for PAHs analysis by the laboratory in charge of monitoring drinking water in the Italian city of Torino. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
