“…Numerous analytical approaches, such as chromatography, 14,15 spectroscopy, 16,17 Raman spectroscopy, 18,19 fluorescence, 9,20 flow injection system analysis, 21,22 chemiluminescence analysis, 23,24 and electrochemistry, 6,25,26 have been developed for NO 2 − testing and monitoring, using which the nitrite ion sensitively and selectively can be detected. Unfortunately, the use of these techniques requires expensive and complicated instruments with highly trained operators that need experience in dealing with them.…”
