   Abstract:
   This paper provides an overview of the principles and applications of two spectroscopic methods, synchronous luminescence (SL) and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), used as rapid screening tools for monitoring polynuclear aromatic compounds in real-life samples. Two practical examples, a screening procedure for various coal products and a characterization procedure for the total particulate matter from cigarette smoke condensates, illustrate the efficacy of the SL and RTP techniques. The paper also briefly reviews other applications of the SL and RTP techniques in the areas of environmental and industrial process control.
