Aza-arenes, formed as trace pollutants by incomplete combustion of TV-containing organic matter, are found in the basic fraction of New York City’s suspended particulate matter. We describe an isolating technique utilizing extrac-tion, solvent partitioning, and a sequence of chromatographic separations. Particulate matter collected on filters is Soxhlet extracted with benzene/methanol, and the basic fraction de-rived from the extractable matter is prefractionated by HPLC. The subfractions are further separated by GC/MS and HPLC, followed by spectroscopic identification. This approach leads to the unambiguous identification of over 20 aza-arenes and other N-bases previously unidentified, andgives insight into the complexity of the basic fraction. Quantitative data also show an unanticipated abundance of quinolines, isoquinolines, and their alkyl derivatives in the fraction.Analytical methods for polynuclear aza-heterocyclic hydrocarbons (aza-arenes) have received some attention in the past, since a number of these compounds, such as dibenz (a, j) acridine, dibenz (a, h) acridine, and some alkyl ben-zacridines, are known animal carcinogens (1, 2). Recently,
