Eight monohydroxylated PAHs (OH-PAHs) were detected with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The detectable frequencies were 59%-100% for different analytes. Major components in the subjects’ urine were 2-hydroxynaphthalene (2-OHNap, 0.60 μg/mmol creatinine), followed by hydroxyphenanthrene (ΣOH-Phe, 0.38 μg/mmol creatinine) and 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-OHFlu, 0.25 μg/mmol creatinine). Excretion of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHPyr, 0.08 μg/mmol creatinine) was almost one order of magnitude lower than the 2-OHNap level in the urine samples. Phenanthrene can be metabolized to five monohydroxy metabolites in human urine. In the present study, 1-or 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (1-or 9-OHPhe) was the dominant component (79%), followed by 2-+3-OHPhe (18%) and 4-OHPhe (3%). The study indicates that 1-OHPyr may not be a good marker for total PAHs exposure, and monitoring of 2-OHNap, 2-OHFlu, 1-or 9-OHPhe and 1-OHPyr as multiple biomarkers are more suitable than only using 1-OHPyr. The levels of OH-PAHs detected in urines of students living in Shanghai are higher those of people in other countries or regions. The concentrations of urine OH-PAHs are directly related to the exposure to PAHs in the environment, indicating that Shanghai residents are at high health risk.展开更多

The products identified by IR, NMR and HRMS indicate that the mono nitration at para- or ortho-position with respect to hydroxy group on the benzene ring occurred regioselectively. The reactions are assumed to be initiated by single electron transfer and the reaction intermediates may be resonance stabilized phenoxy-like radicals.展开更多
