ISO 13859:2014规定了使用GC-MS和HPLC-UV-DAD/FLD定量测定污泥、土壤和经处理的生物废物中的16种PAH，涵盖了广泛的PAH污染水平。当使用荧光检测时，无法测量苊。 检测限度取决于决定因素、使用的设备、用于提取样品的化学品的质量以及提取物的清洁。通常，可以确保每个PAH的施用下限为0.01 mg/kg（以干物质表示）。 污泥、土壤和经处理的生物废物的性质可能不同，PAH的预期污染水平和干扰物质的存在也可能不同。这些差异使得无法描述一个通用程序。ISO 13859: 2014年包含了基于样品性质和所用提取和清理程序的决策表。遵循两条一般路线，即搅拌程序（摇动）或使用索氏/加压液体萃取。

ISO 13859:2014 specifies the quantitative determination of 16 PAH in sludge, soil, and treated biowaste using GC-MS and HPLC-UV-DAD/FLD covering a wide range of PAH contamination levels. When using fluorescence detection, acenaphthylene cannot be measured. The limit of detection depends on the determinants, the equipment used, the quality of chemicals used for the extraction of the sample, and the clean-up of the extract. Typically, a lower limit of application of 0,01 mg/kg (expressed as dry matter) can be ensured for each individual PAH. Sludge, soil, and treated biowaste can differ in properties and also in the expected contamination levels of PAH and presence of interfering substances. These differences make it impossible to describe one general procedure. ISO 13859:2014 contains decision tables based on the properties of the sample and the extraction and clean-up procedure to be used. Two general lines are followed, an agitation procedure (shaking) or use of Soxhlet/pressurized liquid extraction.
