Table 2.
Recovered ketone and quionone-substituted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (OPAH) concentrations from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated Nationational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standard reference materials (SRMs). Data represents mean values from at least two analytical batches.

BDL = below detection limits, SD = standard deviation, Sch = scheme Values are reported on a dry weight basis and recovered from replicates of 1-2 g mussel tissue, 0.8 g sediment (comparison of clean up Schemes 3 and 4), 150 mg urban dust, 50 (il of diesel extract and 10 mg diesel particulate matter using pressurized solvent extraction, size exclusion chromotography and/or solid phase extraction clean-up with gas chromotography-electron impact-mass spectrometry.
