   Abstract:
   The field evaluation of simple and cost-effective luminescence techniques for screening ambient air particulate samples is described. Two analytical methods, synchronous luminescence and room temperature phosphorescence, are employed to estimate the content of polynuclear aromatic species in air particulate extracts collected at two wood-burning communities. The validity and efficacy of this cost-effective screening approach are demonstrated by the good agreement between the screening data and the results obtained by detailed gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography.
