General description

1-Nitronaphthalene, belonging to the class of nitrated-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is persistent in the environment. It is produced from direct sources such as diesel, gasoline exhaust and gas-phase reactions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with oxides of nitrogen.

1-Nitropyrene (1NPy) is the most abundant nitropolycyclic aromatic contaminant encountered in diesel exhausts. Understanding its photochemistry is important because of its carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, and potential phototransformations into biologically active products. We have studied the photophysics and photochemistry of

It is reported that diesel exhaust particles contain more 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) than benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), both of which are potent carcinogenic compounds. In this study, we show that 1-NP is more potent in reducing cell viability than B[a]P, pyrene, nitrobenzene, and
