Rapid and sensitive determination of peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) in air based on a chemiluminescence reaction with an alkaline solution of luminol in the chemiluminescence aerosol detector is described. The limit of detection is 14.9 ng/m3 (3 ppt) of PAN. Alternatively, the PAN after separation is detected simultaneously with NO2. The limit of detection is 50 ppt of PAN and 50 ppt of NO2. The time resolution is 3 min.
