Electrochemical behavior of genotoxic 2-aminofluoren-9-one (2-AFN) was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a classical dropping mercury electrode (DME), and by DC voltammetry (DCV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV), all at a miniaturized hanging mercury drop minielectrode (HMDmE), in buffered aqueous-methanolic solutions. Optimum conditions were found for the determination of 2-AFN by DCTP at DME in the concentration range from 1 × 10–6to 1 × 10–4mol l–1(with a limit of quantification (LQ) of 5 × 10–7mol l–1), by DPP at DME (from 1 × 10–7to 1 × 10–4mol l–1;LQ ≈ 1 × 10–7mol l–1), by DCV and DPV at HMDmE (both from 1 × 10–7to 1 × 10–4mol l–1;LQs ≈ 2 × 10–7and 1 × 10–7mol l–1for DCV and DPV, respectively), and by AdSDPV at HMDmE (from 2 × 10–9to 1 × 10–7mol l–1;LQ ≈ 4 × 10–9mol l–1). Practical applicability of the developed methods was verified on the direct determination of 2-AFN in model samples of drinking and river water in nanomolar to micromolar concentrations.

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.

The polarographic reduction of the azodye semitrypane blue has been studied, a mechanism has been proposed and optimal conditions have been found for the determination of this substance by TAST polarography (to 2.10-6 mol l-1) and differential pulse polarography (to 1.10-7 mol l-1) at a classical dropping mercury electrode and by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry (to 1.10-8 mol l-1) and linear scan voltammetry (to 1.10-8 mol l-1) at a hanging mercury drop electrode. The detection limit was decreased to 1.10-9 mol l-1 for fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and 1.10-10 mol l-1 for linear scan voltammetry by using adsorptive accumulation of the determined substance at the hanging mercury drop electrode.

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.

Electrochemical behavior of genotoxic nitro derivatives of quinoline, namely 5-nitroquinoline (5-NQ), 6-nitroquinoline (6-NQ) and 8-nitroquinoline (8-NQ), was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a classical dropping mercury electrode (DME), and by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV), both at a miniaturized hanging mercury drop minielectrode (HMDmE), in buffered aqueous (for 5-NQ) or aqueous-methanolic (for 6-NQ and 8-NQ) solutions. Optimum conditions were found for the determination of 5-NQ, 6-NQ and 8-NQ by DCTP at DME (with limits of quantification, LQ ≈ 9 × 10–7, 3 × 10–7 and 2 × 10–6 mol l–1, respectively), by DPP at DME (LQ ≈ 1 × 10–8, 9 × 10–8 and 1 × 10–7 mol l–1, respectively), by DPV at HMDmE (LQ ≈ 2 × 10–8, 1 × 10–7 and 1 × 10–7 mol l–1, respectively), and by AdSDPV at HMDmE (LQ ≈ 1 × 10–8 mol l–1 for 8-NQ; an attempt at increasing the sensitivity using AdSDPV at HMDmE was not successful for 5-NQ and 6-NQ). Practical applicability of the developed methods was verified on the direct determination of the studied compounds in model samples of drinking and river water in submicromolar concentrations and on the determination in model samples of drinking and river water using preliminary separation and preconcentration by solid phase extraction (SPE) in nanomolar concentrations.

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.

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.
