Rapid and selective quantitative colourimetric analysis of nitrite in water using a S-Nitrosothiol based method

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ), while showing no interference from common ions such as nitrate or dissolved organic matter, a limitation frequently observed in conventional UV-based nitrite detection methods. The assay was further adapted into a pellet form to simplify field use, operating effectively at room temperature with a low detection limit (1.4 ppm). The S-nitrosothiol based method represents a safer and more environmentally friendly option for nitrite detection and shows a promising potential as a valuable addition to both field and laboratory water testing kits for nitrite analysis.
