Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAH s) are ubiquitous compounds released in the environment by different sources. The aim of the present work was to validate a solid‐phase extraction ( SPE ) and a rapid ultra‐high performance liquid chromatographic ( UHPLC ) method for the analysis of PAHs in a passive environmental sampler, namely a D acron® (the commercial name of a synthetic fiber based on polyethylene terephthalate) textile. The elution temperature was optimized to improve the resolution of early‐eluted compounds, namely acenaphthene ( A c) and fluorene ( F ). The UHPLC method lasts about 10 min and showed good linearity for all the 16 PAH s considered, with regression coefficients over 0.99. Recoveries, limits of detection ( LOD s), and limits of quantification ( LOQ s) of the SPE method were well within the performance criteria fixed by the Regulation n. 836/2011, namely 0.3 and 0.9 μg/kg, respectively.
