Desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) technique was applied to the quantitative analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in biomass burning aerosols. Experimental conditions were optimized to enhance the detection efficiencies of PAHs. DESI-MS signal intensities showed good linear responses to the amount of PAHs in a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude and the detection limit is about 1 pg/mm(2). Mass concentrations of three-, four-, five-, six-ring PAHs in laboratory-made rice straw burning aerosols were directly measured by DESI-MS without any sample pretreatment. The results agree well with the parallel measurement by traditional CC-MS. DESI phenomenon was also observed for other compounds in biomass burning aerosols such as sugars, inorganic and organic acids. Potential applications of DESI-MS to the rapid analysis of multiple components in aerosol samples were discussed.
