“…Then, a reagent solution (0.5% w/v Sulfanilamide (Suzano, Brazil, Neon), 0.005% w/v N-1-Naphthyl-ethylenediamine (St. Louis, USA, Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% v/v Phosphoric Acid (St. Louis, USA, Sigma-Aldrich)) was used on the filters after the sampling period to the extraction of NO2 present in the filters and converting it into nitrite ion [NO2] -. A stock solution (0.0203 g of Sodium Nitrite P.A in 1 L of water) was prepared to construct the UV-VIS (Barueri, Brazil, Shimadzu) calibration curve, where the levels of NO2 present in the filters were determined (Dita and Dias, 2016;Lodge, 1988;Saltzman, 1954;Shaw, 1967).…”
