N2 - The aim of this study was the development of a method for the determination of 12 urinary monohydroxy metabolites of PAHs, namely 1-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-hydroxyfluorene, 9-hydroxyfluorene, 1-hydroxyphenanthrene, 2-hydroxyphenanthrene, 3-hydroxyphenanthrene, 4-hydroxyphenanthrene, 9-hydroxyphenanthrene, 1-hydroxypyrene, 6-hydroxychrysene, and 3-hydroxybenzo[a]pyrene. Analytes were determined in the presence of deuterated analogues as internal standards, by GC/MS operating in the electron impact mode. Sample preparation was performed by enzymatic hydrolysis of glucoronate and sulphate conjugates of hydroxy metabolites of PAHs, liquid-liquid extraction with n-hexane, and derivatization with a silylating reagent. The method is very specific, limits of quantification are in the range 0.1-1.4 μg/l, and range of linearity is from limit of detection to 208 μg/l. Within- and between-run precision, expressed as coefficient of variation, are
