Due to their low occurrence levels (ng/L) in environmental waters, a suitable analytical method based on liquid chromatography - high resolution - mass spectrometry was developed. Consequently, field observations revealed, for the first time, the occurrence of 4-nitroso-SMX in groundwater at concentrations as high as 18 ng/L.Nitric oxide (NO center dot) steady-state concentrations were determined in soil slurry experiments because this reactive specie accounted for the formation of 4-nitroso-SMX and 4-nitro-SMX. Measurements revealed that environmental SMX concentrations (0.2-2 mu g/L) at neutral pH induced the accumulation of nitric oxide. Under acidic conditions (pH< 6), nitrous acid (HONO) was the major source of nitric oxide while under neutral/basic conditions nitric oxide release was related to the inhibition of denitrification processes. Under laboratory experiments, SMX nitration reaction appeared to be an irreversible transformation pathway, while 4-nitroso-SMX was slowly transformed over time. The occurrence of 4-nitroso-SMX conditions was therefore unexpected in the field study but could be due to its continuous input from soil and/or its relative persistence under anoxic conditions. A mechanism for 4-nitroso-SMX formation was proposed involving a nitrosative desamination pathway through a phenyl radical. %$ 062 ; 038 ; 068 ; 021
