Nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

Book ·
OSTI ID:6129736

As stated in the preface, this multi-author book was written in order to cover the more important aspects of the analytical, organic, and environmental chemistries of nitro-PAH (nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). Thus although this book is part of a series on chromatographic methods, the scope of this particular volume is considerably more broad. This book contains seven chapters and one appendix. Four chapters of this book are devoted to the analytical aspects of nitro-PAH, with chapters on gas chromatography, chromatographic detectors, mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography. The three remaining chapters cover the synthesis of nitro-PAH, their mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, and the sampling and atmospheric chemistry of particles containing nitro-PAH. The thirty-page appendix consists of two tables with structural, chemical, and physical properties for these compounds, with references to the original literature where appropriate.
