VALIDASI METODE ANALISIS POLISIKLIK AROMATIK HIDROKARBON (PAH) DALAM SEDIMEN DI SEKITAR PANTAI MAKASSAR

Abstract

Validation of  analysis  method of PAH have been done in marine sediment of Macassar Coast by Gas Chromatography (GC-FID). Validation of method include:  limit of detection (LoD), limit of quantification (LoQ) and linearity range. The results of validation method of 7 types PAHs (Naphtalene, Acenaphtene, Penanthrene, Fluoranthene, Pyrene, Benzo (a) Anthracene and perylene) give  a  linearity  range between 0.5 to 20 ppm with an average linearity approaches a value of 1. LoD for  Naphtalene; Acenaphthene; Penanthrene; Fluoranthene; Pyrene; Benzo (a) Anthracene; and Perylene are  3.541; 0.208; 1,736; 1.737; 1,738; 12.124; and 2,128 ppm, respectively. LoQ for Naphtalene; Acenaphthene; Penanthrene; Fluoranthene; Pyrene; Benzo (a) Anthracene; and Perylene are  11,803; 0.695; 5.786; 5.786; 5.788; 5.794; 7.0796 and 7.092 ppm, respectively. Limit of detection (LoD), limit of quantification (LoQ), linearity and linear range can be used to determine the concentration of PAH in sediment samples.Keywords: Validation Method, Concentration, PAH, Sediments
