Polarographic reduction of the genotoxic N,N’-dinitrosopiperazine was studied and its mechanism was suggested. Optimum conditions were established for the determination of this substance by tast polarography over the concentration region of 1 . 10-3 to 1 . 10-6 mol l-1 and by differential pulse polarography on the conventional dropping mercury electrode or by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry on a hanging mercury drop electrode over the concentration region of 1 . 10-3 to 1 . 10-7 mol l-1. Attempts at increasing further the sensitivity via adsorptive accumulation of the analyte on the surface of the hanging mercury drop failed. The methods are applicable to the testing of the chemical efficiency of destruction of the title chemical carcinogen based on its oxidation with potassium permanganate in acid solution.

The polarographic reduction of the title azodye has been studied, a mechanism was proposed and optimal conditions were found for the determination of this substance by TAST polarography in the range 5.10-5-2.10-6 mol l-1 and differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode in the range 5.10-5-2.10-8 mol l-1. The sensitivity was further increased by adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance on the surface of a hanging mercury drop electrode with linear scan voltammetry (determination limit 5.10-10 mol l-1). The selectivity was increased by prior separation of the determined azodye using thin layer chromatography and by transferring the substance adsorbed on the surface of the hanging mercury drop to a new base electrolyte solution.

The polarographic reduction of the bisazodye congo red has been studied, a mechanism was proposed for this process and optimal conditions were found for determination of this substance by TAST polarography and differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode and using fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and voltammetry with linearly increasing voltage at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limit for the latter two techniques is about 10-8 mol l-1; a further decrease in the value can be attained by prior accumulation of the determined substance by adsorption on the surface of the working electrode.

The polarographic reduction of the 3'-halogen derivatives of N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene was studied in mixed water-methanol medium and optimum conditions were found for the determination of these genotoxic substances by tast polarography in the concentration range 1 . 10-4 to 2 . 10-6 mol l-1, differential pulse polarography at a dropping mercury electrode in the range 1 . 10-4 to 2 . 10-7 mol l-1 and fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in the range 1 . 10-6 to 2 . 10-8 mol l-1. The increase in the sensitivity resulting from adsorptive accumulation of the studied substances on the surface of a hanging mercury drop can be utilized in the determination using the latter method in the concentration range 1 . 10-8 to 2 . 10-9 mol l-1.

The polarographic reduction of N,N-dimethyl-4-amino-3'-nitroazobenzene was studied by tast polarography and differential pulse polarography, constant potential coulometry and cyclic voltammetry and mechanism was proposed for the reduction. Optimal conditions were found for the determination of the test substance using tast polarography in concentration range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-6 mol l-1, differential pulse polarography at classical dropping mercury electrode and fast scan differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in range 1 . 10-4 - 2 . 10-7 mol l-1 and linear scan voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode in range 1 . 10-5 - 2 . 10-8 mol l-1. A further increase in the sensitivity was achieved through adsorptive accumulation of the test substance on the surface of the working electrode, permitting the determination to be carried out in the concentration range 1 . 10-7 - 2 . 10-9 mol l-1.

The polarographic reduction of N,N-dimethyl-4-amino-3'-methylazobenzene has been studied, a mechanism has been proposed and conditions have been found for the determination of this depolarizer using TAST polarography and differential pulse polarography at a classical dropping mercury electrode and using fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and linear scan voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limit at this electrode is about 10-8 mol l-1; a further decrease can be attained using adsorption accumulation of the determined azo-substance on the surface of the working electrode. In conclusion, the practical usefulness of these methods combined with extraction or thin-layer chromatography was verified.

A method is described for determining total platinum content in urine, blood plasma and tissues of patients or experimental animals receiving cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum(II). The method is based on drying and combustion of the biological material in a muffle furnace. The product of the combustion is dissolved successively in aqua regia, hydrochloric acid and ethylenediamine. The resulting platinum-ethylenediamine complex yields a catalytic current at a dropping mercury electrode allowing to determine platinum by differential pulse polarography. Platinum levels of c. 50-1 000 ng per ml of the biological fluid or per 0.5 g of a tissue can readily be analyzed with a linear calibration.

The polarographic behaviour was studied for 6-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-7-hydroxycoumarin, a natural compound serving as an optical whitening agent. The substance can be quantitated by tast polarography, differential pulse polarography using a conventional dropping mercury electrode, and differential pulse polarography using a static mercury drop electrode over the regions of 20-1 000, 2-1 000, and 0.2-1 000 μmol l-1, respectively. The methods developed for the quantitation of the compound were applied to its direct determination in a raw product.

The polarographic behavior of 3-nitrofluoranthene was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a dropping mercury electrode, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV), both at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for its determination by the given methods in the concentration ranges of 1 × 10-6-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DCTP), 1 × 10-7-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DPP), 1 × 10-8-1 × 10-6 mol l-1 (DPV) and 1 × 10-9-1 × 10-7 mol l-1 (AdSV), respectively. Practical applicability of these techniques was demonstrated on the determination of 3-nitrofluoranthene in drinking and river water after its preliminary separation and preconcentration using liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction with the limits of determination 4 × 10-10 mol l-1 (drinking water) and 2 × 10-9 mol l-1 (river water).
