CONCENTRATION OF FLUORENE IN POTABLE WATER SAMPLE

y = 120395x +44.1
10917 = 120395x +44.1
(10917− 44.1)
x=
120395
x = 0.09031 ppm

CONCENTRATION OF FLUORENE IN SPIKED SAMPLE

y = 120395x +44.1
13982= 120395x +44.1
(13982− 44.1)
x=
120395
x = 0.1158 ppm

To calculate the recovery we take the spiked concentration over the theoretical
concentration which is:

0.12PPM FLUORENE + 0.012PPM ANTRACENE + 0.12PPM PYRENE
