Atmospheric nitrophenols (NPs) were determined both in the gas and particle phases by combining the annular denuder sampling technique with GC-MS analysis. The phase distribution of six mono-NPs identified in air sampled in downtown Rome was assessed. 4-NP, 3-methyl-4-NP and 2,6-dimethyl-4-NP were found for more than 75% in the particle phase, whilst 2-NP, 4-methyl-2-NP and 5-methyl-2-NP predominated in the gas phase. Concentration levels lower than 20ngm3 were observed for all NPs, among which 4-NP (17.8 ± 5.6ngm3) and 2-NP (10.4 ± 4.2ngm3) were the most abundant congeners in the two phases, respectively

Abstract
Atmospheric nitrophenols (NPs) were determined both in the gas and particle phases by combining the annular denuder sampling technique with GC-MS analysis. The phase distribution of six mono-NPs identified in air sampled in downtown Rome was assessed. 4-NP, 3-methyl-4-NP and 2,6-dimethyl-4-NP were found for more than 75% in the particle phase, whilst 2-NP, 4-methyl-2-NP and 5-methyl-2-NP predominated in the gas phase. Concentration levels lower than 20ngm3 were observed for all NPs, among which 4-NP (17.8 ± 5.6ngm3) and 2-NP (10.4 ± 4.2ngm3) were the most abundant congeners in the two phases, respectivelyFile in questo prodotto:
