Determination of nitroarenes in precipitation collected in Kanazawa, Japan

Abstract:
Eight nitroarenes, 1,3-, 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrenes, 1-, 2- and 4-nitropyrenes, 6-nitrochrysene and 2-nitrofluoranthene, in precipitation collected in Kanazawa were determined. The nitroarenes in the precipitation were concentrated onto solid phase extraction cartridges, and identified with high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection. The nitroarene concentrations in the precipitation were in the range 0.016-15 pmol/L, and the nitroarene composition tended to be the same as that in airborne particulates. 1-Nitropyrene in river water and seawater were also determined. 1-nitropyrene concentrations on the days after rain (19-110 fmol/L) were higher than those on the days before rain (4,11 fmol/L). Moreover, 1-nitropyrene concentrations in the river water were much lower than those in the precipitation, but were higher than those in the seawater. These results suggested that the nitroarenes in the precipitation and the river water came from airborne particulates.
