Abstract: | In this review, recent methods developed for the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products in environmental
matrixes focusing on the extraction and determination steps are discussed. The five classes of personal care products evaluated
are stimulants, fragrances, sunscreens, antimicrobials, and insect repellents. Methods are critically reviewed in terms of
the analytical steps involved in the analysis, sample pretreatment, separation, and detection as well as the different confirmation
strategies employed. Preconcentration from aqueous matrixes was performed by solid-phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction,
or solid-phase microextraction, allowing the simultaneous extraction of parent compounds and their degradation intermediates.
Following the extraction and cleanup steps, the identification and quantification of degradation intermediates of personal
care products at environmental levels (i.e., parts per trillion to parts per billion range) is usually performed by using
mass spectrometry techniques such as single quadrupole mass spectrometry and more recently by time-of-flight mass spectrometry
or tandem mass spectrometry. The main scope of this review is to critically evaluate the current state of the art of the analytical
techniques used and to identify the research needs in the determination of degradation intermediates of personal care products
in environmental matrixes. |
