Abstract Organic component of airborne particulate matter originates from both natural and anthropogenic sources whose contributions can be identified through the analysis of chemical markers. The validation of analytical methods for analysis of compounds used as chemical markers is of great importance especially if they must be determined in rather complex matrices. Currently, standard reference materials (SRM) with certified values for all those analytes are not available. In this paper, we report a method for the simultaneous determination of levoglucosan and xylitol as tracers for biomass burning emissions, and arabitol, mannitol and ergosterol as biomarkers for airborne fungi in SRM 1649a, by GC/MS. Their quantitative analysis in SRM 1649a was carried out using both internal standard calibration curves and standard addition method. A matrix effect was observed for all analytes, minor for levoglucosan and major for polyols and ergosterol. The results related to levoglucosan around 160 μg g− 1 agreed with those reported by other authors, while no comparison was possible for xylitol (120 μg g− 1), arabitol (15 μg g− 1), mannitol (18 μg g− 1), and ergosterol (0.5 μg g− 1). The analytical method used for SRM 1649a was also applied to PM10 samples collected in Rome during four seasonal sampling campaigns. The ratios between annual analyte concentrations in PM10 samples and in SRM 1649a were of the same order of magnitude although particulate matter samples analyzed were collected in two different sites and periods.
Highlights Levoglucosan and xylitol were used as tracers for biomass burning emissions. Arabitol, mannitol and ergosterol were used as biomarkers for airborne fungi. A matrix effect was observed for xylitol, mannitol and ergosterol. The above mentioned analytes were determinated in SRM 1649a and PM10 samples by GC/MS. This study represent an important starting point to future inter-comparison studies.
