Abstract

It is known that superoxide (O2·−) and nitric oxide (NO ·) are photochemically generated in sea water. Although it was predicted that peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is formed from these two radicals, there were no empirical evidence of its presence in seawater. We developed a fluorescence analytical method for photochemical ONOO- in this study, and succeeded in measuring its concentration in seawater of Seto Inland Sea. The results revealed that ONOO- exists at steady-state concentrations of several pM in seawater of the Seto Inland Sea.
