Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemicals generated when fuels are incompletely combusted, which are contained in industrial and car exhaust and are known as the main source of air pollution. Some of them are categorized as carcinogens and these compounds are subjected to the regulations of governmental agencies such as EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) of U.S.A.

In this paper, PAHs in diesel exhaust particulate matters are measured by Ultra High-performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) with PDA detection which enables ultra high-speed data acquisition rate at 100 spectra/sec.
