Full title and description
GOST R 53258-2009 — National Russian standard specifying requirements and methods for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental and related matrices using chromatographic techniques; establishes terminology, sampling, sample preparation, analytical procedure, quality control and reporting for reliable measurement of PAHs.
Abstract
This standard defines procedures for the analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) including sample collection, preservation, extraction, cleanup, instrumental determination (typically gas chromatography or high-performance liquid chromatography with appropriate detection), calibration, limits of detection/quantification, and quality assurance measures. It provides a uniform method intended to ensure comparability of results obtained in laboratories performing environmental testing for PAHs in media such as air, water, soil, and sediments.

Scope
GOST R 53258-2009 specifies methodology for the identification and quantification of individual and grouped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental samples. It covers procedures from sampling and sample handling through instrumental analysis, data processing and quality control. The standard is intended for laboratories conducting routine monitoring, contaminant assessments and regulatory compliance testing related to PAHs in air, water, soils, sediments and possibly biota and solid wastes where applicable.
Key topics and requirements
- Definitions and nomenclature for common PAHs and related compounds.
- Requirements for sampling procedures and sample preservation to prevent losses or transformation of PAHs.
- Sample preparation: extraction methods (solvent extraction, Soxhlet, ultrasonic, accelerated solvent extraction) and concentration techniques.
- Cleanup and fractionation (e.g., column chromatography, solid-phase extraction) to remove interferences prior to instrumental analysis.
- Instrumental determination using gas chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometric detection (MS or MS/MS) or flame ionization/photometric detectors, and/or high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence or UV detection where specified.
- Calibration procedures, use of internal standards and surrogate standards, calculation of results and expression of concentrations.
- Limits of detection and quantification, measurement uncertainty estimation and performance criteria for method validation.
- Quality assurance/quality control: blanks, replicates, recovery checks, control charts and reference materials.
- Reporting requirements including units, detection limits, uncertainty and any deviations from the method.
Typical use and users
Used by environmental testing and analytical laboratories, regulatory agencies, environmental consultants, research institutions and industrial laboratories monitoring emissions and contamination. Typical applications include monitoring of air quality (particulate and gaseous phases), assessment of water and wastewater, soil and sediment contamination surveys, and verification of remediation effectiveness.
Related standards
Related national and international standards and methods for PAH analysis and environmental monitoring, including other GOST/GOST R methods for specific matrices, ISO protocols for PAH determination, and regional or industry guidance on sampling and analysis. Methods for associated sample preparation and quality control (e.g., standards on sampling, solvent purity, calibration and uncertainty estimation) are commonly used alongside this standard.
