With an increase in the consumption of fossil fuels, large amounts of pollutants released into the atmosphere cause serious health problems. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (NPAHs) are among the atmospheric hazardous pollutants. The mutagenicities of several NPAHs are much stronger than those of PAHs, but the concentrations of NPAHs are much lower than those of PAHs in the environment. However, the progress of studies on the environmental behaviors and health effects of NPAHs has been much slower than that of PAHs, because of the lack of a sensitive analytical method available for trace NPAHs. This review deals with the development of sensitive determination methods for NPAHs starting the in late 1980s and recent studies on the contributors and atmospheric behaviors of NPAHs and human exposure to them.
