L. Warzecha, SEPARATION AND ANALYSIS OF NITROARENES FROM AIRBORNE PARTICULATE ORGANIC-MATTER BY HPLC AND CAPILLARY GC-MS METHODS, HRC. Journal of high resolution chromatography, 19(11), 1996, pp. 639-642
Normal-phase HPLC has been applied to the separation of nitroarenes fr
om dichloromethane extracts from airborne particulate matter samples c
ollected in urban regions of Upper Silesia. GC-MS and capillary gas ch
romatography with NP detector analysis of the nitroarene fraction made
it possible to identify and determine quantitatively those compounds
which dominate in the organic matter emitted to the atmosphere in high
ly industrialized regions (2-nitrofluorene, isomeric nitroarenes of MW
= 247, i.e. opyrene/nitrofluoranthene/nitroacephenanthrylene).
