{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Nitrophenols in the environment: An update on pretreatment and analysis techniques since 2017. {Author}: Qian M;Zhang Y;Bian Y;Feng XS;Zhang ZB; {Journal}: Ecotoxicol Environ Saf {Volume}: 281 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: 2024 Aug 22 {Factor}: 7.129 {DOI}: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2024.116611 {Abstract}: Nitrophenols, a versatile intermediate, have been widely used in leather, medicine, chemical synthesis, and other fields. Because these components are widely applied, they can enter the environment through various routes, leading to many hazards and toxicities. There has been a recent surge in the development of simple, rapid, environmentally friendly, and effective techniques for determining these environmental pollutants. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research progress on the pretreatment and analysis methods of nitrophenols since 2017, with a focus on environmental samples. Pretreatment methods include liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, dispersive extraction, and microextraction methods. Analysis methods mainly include liquid chromatography-based methods, gas chromatography-based methods, supercritical fluid chromatography. In addition, this review also discusses and compares the advantages/disadvantages and development prospects of different pretreatment and analysis methods to provide a reference for further research.
