Organic fluorescence nanoparticles (1-aminopyrene nanoparticles) were prepared under ultrasonic radiation and used to determine nitrite. Such nanoparticles have a broad, continuous excitation spectrum, but they are also photochemically stable and water-soluble. Nitrite determination was based upon nitrite quenching the fluorescence
