Formation of mutagenic nitrofluoranthenes in the gas-solid heterogeneous reaction of particle-associated fluoranthene in NO2-O3-O2 system

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1996.1105

In the gas-solid heterogeneous reactions of particle-supported fluoranthene with ppm levels of nitrogen dioxide and ozone, dinitrofluoranthenes and 3-introfluoranthene (3-NF) were formed only in the dark and 2-NF was formed only under photoirradiation while 1-, 7-, and 8-NFs were formed under both conditions. Yield and distribution of the products varied depending on the kind of supports employed.
