Abstract
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).
