ISO 18287:2006根据美国环境保护局（EPA，1982）的优先列表规定了16种多环芳烃（PAH）的定量测定。ISO 18287:2006适用于所有类型的土壤（现场潮湿或化学干燥样品），涵盖了广泛的多环芳烃污染水平。 在ISO 18287:2006规定的条件下，可确保每个PAH的施用下限为0,01 mg/kg（以干物质表示）。

ISO 18287:2006 specifies the quantitative determination of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) according to the priority list of the Environmental Protection Agency, USA (EPA, 1982). ISO 18287:2006 is applicable to all types of soil (field-moist or chemically dried samples), covering a wide range of PAH contamination levels. Under the conditions specified in ISO 18287:2006, a lower limit of application of 0,01 mg/kg (expressed as dry matter) can be ensured for each individual PAH.
