Resumen
Se determinó la concentración de seis aldehídos en muestras de aire, durante abril-junio 2015 en la Reserva Biológica Monteverde (RBM) y en Heredia, Costa Rica. El formaldehído, el acetaldehído, el propanal, el butanal, el hexanal y el heptanal se tomaron con cartuchos de adsorción recubiertos con una disolución de la 2,4-dinitrofenilhidrazina (2,4-DNFH) y se analizaron por HPLC con un detector ultravioleta visible. Las concentraciones promedio de cada aldehído en Heredia se encontraron entre 12,78 μg/m3 y 72,57 μg/m3 durante la época seca y entre 7,95 μg/m3 y 62,30 μg/m3 durante la transición a la época lluviosa; mientras que en la RBM las concentraciones encontradas estuvieron entre 1,93 μg/m3 y 22,62 μg/m3 durante la época seca y entre 0,26 μg/m3 y 4,68 μg/m3 durante la transición a la época lluviosa, esto debido al efecto de dilución de contaminantes que hacen las lluvias y que la actividad fotoquímica es mayor en la época seca que en la transición a la época lluviosa.
The concentration of six aldehydes was determined in air samples during April-June 2015 in the Monteverde Biological Reserve (RBM) and in Heredia, Costa Rica. Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propanal, butanal, hexanal and heptanal were taken with adsorption cartridges coated with a solution of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNFH) and analyzed by HPLC with an ultraviolet detector. visible. The average concentrations of each aldehyde in Heredia were found between 12.78 μg/m3 and 72.57 μg/m3 during the dry season and between 7.95 μg/m3 and 62.30 μg/m3 during the transition to the rainy season. ; while in the RBM the concentrations found were between 1.93 μg/m3 and 22.62 μg/m3 during the dry season and between 0.26 μg/m3 and 4.68 μg/m3 during the transition to the rainy season. This is due to the dilution effect of pollutants caused by rain and that photochemical activity is greater in the dry season than in the transition to the rainy season.
