Recent Progress in Analysis of Nitro-Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Environmental Samples

The complexity of nitro-PAHs isomers, their trace content level in the environment, the lower efficiency of traditional extraction and purification methods, matrix interference and similar behaviors of some isomers are the main difficulties to determine nitro-PAHs in environment, consequently there is no standardized analytical method for nitro-PAHs determination. This review will focus on some researches on exaction and instrumental analysis methods to determine environment nitro-PAHs.
