Nitrated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are derivatives of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). They are trace pollutants commonly found in the environment and have been widely detected in various matrices. Nitro-PAHs are direct mutagens and carcinogens to humans, so they have attracted increasing public attention. In order to accurately assess the adverse effects of nitro-PAHs on human health, it is necessary to analyze them in different samples. In this review, the sources, toxicity, contamination status, physicochemical properties, especially, the advances of their sample preparation and quantification methods in various matrices in the past decade are summarized. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
