We present an assay which employs enzyme digestion and solid phase extraction followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to simultaneously quantify 16 hydroxylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OHPAHs) in 3-ml samples of urine. The analytes consisted of 2-, 3-, and 4-ring OHPAHs, namely, 1- and 2-hydroxynaphthalene (1- and 2-OHNAP), 2-hydroxyfluorine (2-OHFLU). 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 9-OHPHE), 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHPYR), 1- and 2-hydroxybenzo(a)anthracene (1- and 2-OHBAA), 3- and 6-hydroxychrysene (3- and 6-OHCHR) and 3-, 7-, and 9-hdroxbenzo(a)pyrene (3-, 7-, and 9-OHBAP). The method was validated using urine samples from steel workers and control subjects. The coefficients of variation of the method for the particular analytes were between 7% and 27% and the limits of quantitation were between 0.002 and 0.010 mu g/l urine. The 2- and 3-ring OHPAHs were easily quantified in all subjects. However, 1-OHPYR was the only representative of the 4- and 5-ring metabolites that could be quantified. Pairwise correlations showed that all OHPAHs were highly correlated with each other (0.553
