Identification
Common Name1-Nitronaphthalene
ClassSmall Molecule
Description1-nitronaphthalene (1-NN) is a common air pollutant in urban areas. It can react with ozone and will form reactive electrophiles that have been shown to bind covalently to specific proteins. 1-Nitronaphthalene is synthesized by the action of a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids on finely ground naphthalene. 1-nitronaphthalene is used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of dyes (drugs, perfumes, rubber chemicals, tanning agents and pesticides) and as a fluorescence quencher for mineral oils. 1-NN is also found in the gas phase of diesel exhaust, making it one of the more common airborne pollutants. It has been detected in some carbon blacks as well as in particulate exhaust of diesel engines and has been found at low concentrations in ambient air.
