Occurrence of the potent mutagens 2- nitrobenzanthrone and 3-nitrobenzanthrone in fine airborne particles

TL;DR: In the present study, 2-NBA, 3-NBA and selected PAHs and Nitro-PAHs were determined in fine particle samples collected in a bus station and an outdoor site, showing low cancer risk incidence and incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) calculated for both places.

Particulate pollutants in the Brazilian city of São Paulo: 1-year investigation for the chemical composition and source apportionment

TL;DR: In this article, a year-round sampling was performed at the University of Sao Paulo campus (20m) in Brazil to evaluate the sources of particulate air pollution and related health risks, and different chemical constituents, such as carbonaceous species, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), water-soluble ions, and biomass burning tracers were identified in order to evaluate health risks and to apportion sources.

Simultaneous determination of PAHS, nitro-PAHS and quinones in surface and groundwater samples using SDME/GC-MS

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for simultaneous determination of PAHs, nitro-PAHs and quinones in surface and groundwater samples employing gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after single-drop microextraction (SDME).
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their nitrated and oxygenated derivatives in coffee brews using an efficient cold fiber-solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography mass spectrometry method.

TL;DR: The proposed method is simple, versatile, allows simultaneous extraction of PAHs, nitrated and oxygenated derivatives and was successfully applied to the analysis of commercial coffee samples.

Size, source and chemical composition as determinants of toxicity attributable to ambient particulate matter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and quantify the influences of specific components or source-related mixtures on measures of health-related impacts, especially when particles interact with other co-pollutants, therefore represents one of the most challenging areas of environmental health research.
