abstract:
Nitrated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAH) with a molecular mass of 247 Daltons were found in soot collected in downtown Athens during a campaign performed in 1996. In particular, 2-nitrofluoranthene (2-NFa) and 2-nitropyrene (2-NPy), which are mainly related to photo-induced chemical processes occurring in the atmosphere, were more abundant than l-nitropyrene (1-NPy) usually associated to motor vehicle exhaust.
