Removal of 17β-estradiol by powdered activated carbon—Microfiltraion hybrid process: The effect of PAC deposition on membrane surface

The removal of 17β-estradiol (E2) was investigated in a powdered activated carbon-submerged microfiltration (PAC-MF) hybrid system to better understand the effect on the system performance of PAC deposition on the membrane. A series of experiments were carried out under various operating conditions. Although the rejection or adsorption of E2 by MF membrane itself was almost negligible, the concentration of E2 in the permeate was always lower than it was in the reactor. This is because E2 was further removed as it passed through the PAC layer deposited on the membrane. As the E2 removal efficiency by the deposited PAC was lower than that by the PAC in the bulk phase, the overall E2 removal was largely dependent on the fraction of the deposited PAC on the membrane which were influenced by operating parameters such as permeate flux, hydraulic retention time (HRT) and mixing intensity in a PAC-MF system. The effect of these parameters on the overall E2 removal rate were also determined quantitatively using model equations developed in this study.     

Comparison of total fluorine, extractable organic fluorine and perfluorinated compounds in the blood of wild and pefluorooctanoate (PFOA)-exposed rats: Evidence for the presence of other organofluorine compounds

The widespread occurrence and environmental persistence of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) received worldwide attention recently. Exhaustive analysis of all fluorinated compounds in an environmental sample can be daunting because of the constraints in the availability of analytical standards and extraction methods. Combustion ion chromatographic technique for trace fluorine analysis was used to assess the concentrations of known PFCs (e.g., PFOS, PFOA) and total fluorine (TF) in the blood of wild rats collected from Japan. The technique was further validated using tissues from PFOA-exposed rats. Six PFCs (PFOS, PFOSA, PFUnDA, PFDA, PFNA, and PFOA) were detected in all of the wild rat blood samples. Concentrations of extractable organic fluorine (EOF) in fraction 1 (Fr1; MTBE extraction) of wild rats ranged 60.9-134 ng F mL⁻¹, while those in fraction 2 (Fr2; hexane) were below LOQ (32 ng F mL⁻¹); TF concentrations in the blood of wild rats ranged from 59.9-192 ng F mL⁻¹. The contribution of known PFCs in EOF-Fr1 (MTBE) varied from 9% to 89% (56% on average), and known PFC concentrations in TF content were less than 25%. In contrast, TF concentrations in the blood of PFOA-exposed rats ranged from 46900 to 111000 ng F mL⁻¹, with PFOA contributing over 90% of TF. A comparison of results from the samples analyzed in this study and the literature revealed three distinct groups with PFOA/known PFC and TF levels (i.e., wild rats and general population, occupationally exposed workers, and PFOA-exposed laboratory rats). The mass balance analysis of the different forms of fluorine in blood suggested the presence of other forms of organic fluorine in addition to known PFCs.     

An improved method for the simultaneous analysis of phenolic and steroidal estrogens in water and sediment

This paper describes an improved method for the extraction and analysis of seven endocrine disrupting chemicals with wide-ranging polarities from water and sediments using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The analytes were 4-tert-octylphenol, 4-nonylphenol, bisphenol A, estrone, 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethynylestradiol and 16α-hydroxyestrone. The optimised GC-MS/MS method produces increased selectivity and sensitivity compared to GC-MS, with limit of detection ranging from 0.01 to 0.49 ng L⁻¹ in water and from 0.05 to 0.14 ng g⁻¹ in sediment. Extraction from aqueous samples was performed by solid-phase extraction (SPE) and from sediment samples by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE). The improved method for the clean-up of sediment extracts carried out by SPE enhanced EDC recovery (86-102%) while reducing matrix interference and sample drying time. Derivatisation of final sample extracts was achieved using N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide and pyridine, and their stability was enhanced by reconstituting the derivatised extracts with hexane. The method was validated by spiking experiments which showed good recovery and reproducibility. The method was applied to samples taken from the Medway estuary in Kent, UK, where non-conservative behaviour of EDCs was demonstrated.     

A comparison of three analytical techniques for the measurement of steroidal estrogens in environmental water samples

Research into the analysis and monitoring of steroidal estrogens has grown significantly over the last decade, resulting in the emergence of a range of applicable techniques. In this study, three popular techniques, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS-MS) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) for the analysis of three highly potent steroidal estrogens in the aquatic environment have been compared. It has been observed that overall, the three techniques appear comparable in generating similar estrogen concentrations for river and effluent samples. Of the three techniques, the GC-MS technique is the simplest to operate, but fails to detect the estrogens at the lower-end of environmentally relevant concentrations. The tandem MS techniques are more selective than MS, and therefore able to detect lower concentration levels of the three steroidal estrogens of interest. However, the LC-MS-MS technique is more susceptible to matrix interferences for the analysis of samples, resulting in a reduction of the signal-to-noise ratio and a subsequent reduction in reliability and stability compared to GC-MS-MS. With the GC-MS-MS technique offering increased selectivity, the lowest limits of detection, and no false positive identification, it is recommended to be the preferred analytical technique for routine analysis of estrogens in environmental water samples.

Simultaneous determination of triclosan,triclocarban, and transformation products of triclocarban in aqueous samples using solid‐phase micro‐extraction‐HPLC‐MS/MS

The presence of triclosan and triclocarban, two endocrine‐disrupting chemicals and antimicrobial agents, and transformation products of triclocarban, 1,3‐di(phenyl)urea, 1,3‐bis(4‐chlorophenyl)urea and 1,3‐bis(3,4‐dichlorophenyl)urea, in tap water, treated household drinking water, bottled water, and river water samples were investigated using solid‐phase micro‐extraction coupled with‐HPLC‐MS/MS, a rapid, green, and sensitive method. Factors influencing the quantity of the analytes extracted onto the solid‐phase micro‐extraction fiber, such as addition of salt, sample pH, extraction time, desorption time, and sample volume, were optimized using solid‐phase micro‐extraction‐HPLC‐MS/MS. The results showed that the method gave satisfactory sensitivities and precisions for analyzing sub‐part‐per‐trillion levels of triclosan, triclocarban, and transformation products of triclocarban in samples collected locally. The recoveries of analytes ranged from 97 to 107% for deionized water samples, and 99 to 110% for river water samples, and limits of detection were in the range of 0.32–3.44 and 0.38–4.67 ng/L for deionized water and river water samples, respectively. On average, the daily consumption of triclosan and triclocarban by an adult by consuming 2 liters of different types of drinking water were estimated to be in the range of 6.13–425 ng/day as a result of the concentrations of triclosan and triclocarban measured in this study.
