Summary Two liquid chromatography-particle beam mass spectrometry (LC-PBMS) systems have been used for analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites in water samples from a biological decomposition model experiment. The results were compared with those obtained by classical gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Evaluation of spectral data indicated the presence of six main metabolites; 1H,3H-naphtho [1,8-cd]pyran-1,3-dione, 1-(hydroxymethyl)naphthalene, and 1,2-acenaphthenedione were identified by use of standard substances and spiking experiments. Enrichment of the investigated water samples with online pre-column (C18) concentration, freeze-drying, and solvent extraction led to similar results with only slight differences. The application of microbore separation columns proved to be a promising tool in particle beam LC-MS measurements.
