Popis: This dataset contains raw area counts and percent recoveries of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) standards desorbed from selected sorbent tubes and analyzed using thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (TD-GC/MS). The results of this study were published in the article “Recovery and reactivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons collected on selected sorbent tubes and analyzed by thermal desorption-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry” in Journal of Chromatography A [1]. The sorbent tubes studied include stainless steel Carbograph 2TD/1TD, glass quartz wool-Carbograph 2TD, inert-coated stainless steel Carbograph 2TD, glass and stainless steel Tenax TA, PAH (chemical weapons), and glass and stainless steel XRO-440 sorbent tubes. Tables listing the experimental conditions, TD methods, and types of sorbent tubes are included in the manuscript. Data for experiments, including the investigation of incomplete desorption of PAHs from Carbograph 2TD/1TD and XRO-440 sorbent tubes, the comparison of PAH recoveries from three different TD methods, the analysis of PAH breakthrough from sorbent tubes, the investigation of the effect of heat on PAH percent recovery from sorbent tubes, and the formation of reaction products during PAH loading and desorption are included in Appendix A. These data can be used to guide sorbent tube selection for PAH analyses in future studies.
