The ADP 2000 provides semi-quantitative identification of nitrogen vesicants. Colorimetric tubes are available which can detect organic basic nitrogen compounds. Detection with PlDs or FlDs may be possible. Detection and identification with FT-IR is possible provided that the appropriate reference spectra are available.

Commercially produced amines contain Impurities from synthesis, thus rigid specifications are necessary to avoid unwanted Impurities In final products. Modern-day analytical capability permits detection of minute quantities of Impurities In almost any compound. Detection In parts per million Is routine, parts per billion Is commonplace, and parts per trillion Is attainable. The significance of Impurities In products demands careful and realistic Interpretation. Nltrosatlng species, as well as natural amines, are ubiquitous In the environment. For example, Bassow (1976) cites that about 50 ppb of nitrous oxide and nitrogen dioxide are present In the atmosphere of the cities. Microorganisms In soil and natural water convert ammonia to nitrite. With the potential for nitrosamine formation almost ever-present In the envlronmeit, other approaches to prevention should Include the use of appropriate scavengers as additives In raw materials and finished products.

The interstellar dust was shown to contain quinone derivatives as well as oxygen-rich condensed aromatic compounds the quinones were present in both hydrated and carboxylated form. Very little nitrogen was present in the compounds detected. The cometary material, however, contained condensed nitrogen heterocycles. Hardly any oxygen was detected in the solid phase of the cometary dust it possibly evaporates from the tail of the comet in the form of water or oxidized carbon compounds. The authors assume that these analytical results could lead to a reconsideration of the current biogenesis models (Kissel et al 2004 Brownlee, 2004). 

The formation of peroxynitrite in cells and tissue is frequently characterized by the formation of nitrotyrosine. The formation of nitrotyrosine is not a very specific assay of peroxynitrite detection because the other nitrogen oxide may also take part in this process, but peroxynitrite is undoubtedly the most efficient nitrating agent. (Mechanism of tyrosine nitration by peroxynitrite and other reactive nitrogen compounds has been considered in Chapters 21 and 22.)...

The titrimetric determination of soil constituents is most commonly applied to a limited number of soil analyses, namely, organic carbon, nitrogen compounds, carbonates, and chlorides. Determination of acid content by titration is generally not done because the titration curves are not amenable to typical titration analysis. Because of the color of soil and the fact that it is a suspension when stirred, it is often necessary to remove the constituent of interest before titration. In other cases, it is possible to do a direct titration using an appropriate indicator. However, even in these cases, detection of the end point is difficult. 

Examples The various compounds that may be detected conveniently are, namely aromatic amines, phenols, ketones, and aldehydes and heterocyclic nitrogen compounds. 

Nitrophenols in fog and atmospheric particles were determined by GC of the underiva-tized compounds and their corresponding acetate esters. Four fused-silica columns were used with three alternative detection modes, namely mass-selective detection, nitrogen-specific detection and ECD. GC-ECD of the acetate derivatives gave the best results501. A capillary GC-UVD method was developed for the determination of small amounts of nitrophenols present in the environment. The method was compared with HPLC-UVD from the point of view of selectivity and sensitivity. LOD for GC were about one-tenth of those for HPLC502. 

Nitrogen compounds in middle distillates can be detected selectively by chemiluminescence. Individual nitrogen compounds can be detected down to 100 ppb nitrogen. Gas chromatography with either sulfur chemiluminescence detection or atomic emission detection has been used for sulfur-selective detection.
