Analysis of classes of compound of environmental concern: I. Nitroaromatic compounds

Abstract
Thirty five nitroaromatic compounds (currently listed in EPA Method 8091) and 1,4‐naphthoquinone have been separated on DB‐5–DB‐1701 and SPB‐5–SPB‐1701 column pairs, which were in each case connected to an inlet splitter and separate electron capture detectors. Retention times are included for 21 additional compounds evaluated for their suitability as internal standards and/or surrogate compounds for incorporation into Method 8091. Method reproducibility and linearity are discussed, and results are presented for extracts of two real samples spiked with the 35 nitroaromatic compounds and 1,4‐naphthoquinone and analyzed using the dual‐column‐dual‐detector arrangement.
