Conditions were found for the determination of chlorobenzene and benzyl chloride in dimethylformamide and of Melphalan in ethanol-water medium (4 : 1) using tast polarography at a classical dropping mercury electrode in the concentration range 1 . 10-3 - 2 . 10-5 mol l-1. Differential pulse polarography permits the range for the determination of benzyl chloride to be extended to 1 . 10-5 - 2 . 10-6 mol l-1. The use of fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and linear scan voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode did not lead to an increase in the sensitivity of the determination because of the very negative half-wave potential values and high irreversibility of the processes involved.

The polarographic behaviour of 1-nitropyrene was investigated by tast polarography, differential pulse polarography (both with a dropping mercury electrode), differential pulse voltammetry, and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (both with a hanging mercury drop electrode). Optimum conditions have been found for its determination by the given methods in the concentration ranges 2-100, 0.2-100, 0.1-10, and 0.001-0.01 μmol l-1, respectively.

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.

Polarographic and voltammetric behavior of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene was investigated using tast polarography and differential pulse polarography at a classic dropping mercury electrode and differential pulse voltammetry and adsorptive stripping voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for the determination of tested substance in the concentration range 2-10 μmol l-1 in tast polarography, 0.2-1 μmol l-1 in differential pulse polarography at a classic dropping mercury electrode or differential pulse voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode, and 0.02-0.1 μmol l-1 using adsorptive stripping voltammetry. A possible mechanism of the electrochemical reduction of 1,5-dinitronaphthalene at mercury electrodes is discussed.

Optimal conditions were found for the determination of 6-nitrobenzimidazole by tast polarography (at 1 × 10–4–1 × 10–6 mol l–1), by differential pulse polarography at dropping mercury electrode (at 1 × 10–4–1 × 10–7 mol l–1), and by differential pulse voltammetry at hanging mercury drop electrode (at 1 × 10–4–1 × 10–8 mol l–1). Practical applicability of the developed methods was verified on the determination of 6-nitrobenzimidazole in drinking water (at 10–8 mol l–1). Coulometry at constant potential and cyclic voltammetry were used for elucidation of the mechanism of electrochemical reduction.

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.

The reduction of mutagenic bisazodye trypane blue has been studied at a mercury electrode, a mechanism has been proposed and optimal conditions found for its analytical application. The use of a dropping mercury electrode with a renewable surface yielded a detection limit of 8 . 10-7 mol l-1 for TAST polarography, and 8 . 10-8 mol l-1 for differential pulse polarography; the use of a hanging mercury drop electrode with an unrenewed surface during the measurement yielded detection limit of 6 . 10-8 mol l-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 4 . 10-8 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry. Preliminary adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance on the surface of the hanging mercury drop electrode led to a decrease in the detection limit to 5 . 10-9 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry.

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.

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.
