Adaptation and validation of QuEChERS method for the simultaneous analysis of priority and emerging pollutants in sediments by gas chromatography—mass spectrometry

A Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) method has been adapted and validated for the simultaneous determination of priority (16 PAHs, 12 PCBs and 7 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs)) and emerging (carbamazepine, 9 musks and 6 sunscreens) pollutants in sediments by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The sample preparation was adapted by modifying the nature of the extraction solvent and optimising clean-up and evaporation steps. The method was validated by the analysis of spiked estuarine and marine sediments. Analytical performances were evaluated in terms of linearity, accuracy, precision and detection limits. The method shows good linearity (coefficients of determination > 0.998) and repeatability (RSD < 10%). Obtained recoveries are acceptable, ranging from 62% to 131% for all the compounds. Detection limits are estimated to range from 0.01 ng/g to 3.18 ng/g. This developed method offers the ability to detect and quantify several priority and emerging pollutants at low concentration levels in sediments.

Improved Method for the Determination of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins and Dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in Sanitary Napkins

Abstract

An improved method was developed for determining highly toxic 2,3,7,8-substituted polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-furans (PCDD/Fs) in sanitary napkins. Samples were extracted by Soxhlet (50% dichloromethane/hexane) and sonication (hexane), and a multi-layer silica column was used for clean-up after acetone precipitation to separate the superabsorbent polymers. Improved separation efficiency of PCDD/Fs from sanitary napkins with a high level of superabsorbent polymers was achieved using the acetone precipitation method. Hexane was then applied as an alternative solvent to remove residual interfering substances including sticky components contained on sanitary napkins via alumina column chromatography in the second clean-up step. Recoveries approached 100% with an average relative standard deviation of less than 15%, and recoveries of internal standards were from 70.5 to 114.8% and 0.6 to 13.6% for the two extraction methods. The mean method detection limit was 0.075–0.968?pg/g for Soxhlet extraction and 0.0032–0.091?pg/g for sonication extraction. The established method meets the quality criteria for the screening of dioxins stated in EU Regulations 589/2014 and 709/2014, and therefore provides a suitable alternative for the determination of dioxins in sanitary napkins containing superabsorbent polymers.

GC/MS分析环境样品中的多氯联苯(PCBs)

多氯联苯（ｐｏｌｙｃｈｌｏｒｉｎａｔｅｄ Ｂｉｐｈｅｎｙｌｓ,简称ＰＣＢｓ）系一组化学性质极其稳定的氯代烃类化合物,由于难降解,可通过食物链而富集且直接危害人类的健康,因此,这类化合物已成为全球性的重要污染物之一。利用圆盘型固相萃取－ＧＣ－ＭＳ测定水样中的ＰＣＢｓ,同时采剂超声萃取－ＧＣ－ＭＳ分析了各种土壤样品和植物样品中的ＰＣＢｓ,实验结果证明分析方法中样品前处理过程简单、方法回收较高,重现性好,然质联用能够测定ＰＣＢｓ的同系物。另外,由已有的数据可以看出,中国土壤中存在有一定量的ＰＣＢｓ,特别是在一些特定污染地区的土壤中ＰＣＢｓ的浓度较高,另外,由于土壤的污染还影响到水和植物的污染。
