Microwave-assisted extraction and ultrasonic extraction to determine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in needles and bark of Pinus pinaster Ait. and Pinus pinea L. by GC-MS

Two different extraction strategies (microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and ultrasonic extraction (USE)) were tested in the extraction of the 16 US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from pine trees. Extraction of needles and bark from two pine species common in the Iberian Peninsula (Pinus pinaster Ait. and Pinus pinea L.) was optimized using two amounts of sample (1 g and 5 g) and two PAHs spiking levels (20 ng/g and 100 ng/g). In all cases, the clean-up procedure following extraction consisted in solid-phase extraction (SPE) with alumina cartridges. Quantification was done by gas chromatography (GC) with mass spectrometry (MS), using five deuterated PAH surrogate standards as internal standards. Limits of detection were globally below 0.2 ng/g. The method was robust for the matrices studied regardless of the extraction procedures. Recovery values between 70 and 130% were reached in most cases, except for high molecular weight PAHs (indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, dibenzo[a,h]anthracene and benzo[ghi]perylene). A field study with naturally contaminated samples from eight sites (four in Portugal and four in Catalonia, Spain) showed that needles are more suitable biomonitors for PAHs, yielding concentrations from 2 to 17 times higher than those found in bark. The levels varied according to the sampling site, with the sum of the individual PAH concentrations between 213 and 1773 ng/g (dry weight). Phenanthrene was the most abundant PAH, followed by fluoranthene, naphthalene and pyrene.     

Rapid method for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in agricultural soils by sonication-assisted extraction in small columns

A rapid method has been developed for the determination of 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in soil based on their sonication-assisted extraction in small columns (SAESC) with a low volume of ethyl acetate and subsequent quantitation and identification by GC with electron impact mass spectrometric detection in the SIM mode (GC-MS-SIM). Spiked blank soil extracts were used as standards to counteract the matrix effect observed in the chromatographic determination. PAHs were confirmed at trace level by their retention times, their qualifier and target ions, and their qualifier/target abundance ratios. Recovery studies were performed at 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10 microg/kg fortification levels for each PAH, and the recoveries obtained ranged from 91.2 to 99.8% with RSDs between 0.4 and 9.3%. The detection limits of the method ranged from 0.03 to 0.3 microg/kg for the different PAHs studied. The developed method is linear over the range assayed, 1-100 microg/L with determination coefficients higher than 0.996. PAH levels were determined using this method in soil samples taken from different agricultural areas of Spain. In general, PAH concentrations were low and the most frequently occurring PAHs were naphthalene, pyrene, phenanthrene, and fluoranthene.     

The development of solid-surface fluorescence characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for potential screening tests in environmental samples

This paper presents the characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in solid-surface fluorescence as the first step for obtaining new optical sensors for PAHs screening. The fluorescence properties of the EPA-PAHs (naphthalene, acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, indeno [1,2,3-cd]pyrene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene and dibenzo[a,h]anthracene) on five types of solid-surfaces were evaluated. The experimental variables (pH and percentage of organic solvent in samples) were studied, obtaining different possibilities for making individual sensors for some of these PAHs and the best conditions for developing sensors for PAH screening were also studied.     

Sources and distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in sediments from the Mar Piccolo of Taranto,Ionian Sea,southern Italy

The concentrations of 17 parent PAHs, with molecular weight from 128 to 278 Daltons, were determined in surface sediments from the Mar Piccolo of Taranto. The analytical results were compared with the published results for other coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea. The analyses were performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Total PAH content in sediments ranged from 380 to 12750 ng g(-1) dry weight. The levels of the PAHs was higher than the one reported for sediments of the Adriatic Sea and Cretan Sea and of the same order of magnitude of the one known for coastal areas of the western and the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The PAHs distribution showed similar patterns in all sediments analyzed, with compounds with three or more rings. These patterns of distribution and the ratios among low molecular weight PAHs/high molecular weight PAHs, phenanthrene/anthracene and fluoranthene/pyrene indicated that pyrogenic inputs are the main source of these compounds in the Mar Piccolo basin. Based on the comparison of both the individual and the total PAH concentrations with proposed sediment quality guidelines, the acute biological effects on the marine organisms should be negligible.     

Concentrations and Sources of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Water and Sediments from the Huaihe River,China

Surface water and sediments were collected from eleven locations on the middle region of Huaihe River to evaluate the environmental effects of urban and industrial activities. The concentrations of sixteen polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water and sediments were between 1.2–5.1 µg/L and 72–139 ng/g, respectively. High levels of PAHs in water were recorded in comparison to those of other countries, while the concentrations in sediments were low to moderate levels. A weak positive correlation was observed (R² = 0.49, P = 0.13) between PAHs and total organic carbon in water. However, a significant positive correlation (R² = 0.79, P = 0.004) was found in sediments, which indicated that total organic carbon was a factor in PAH levels in sediments but not in water. The parent ratios were studied by principal component analysis that showed the PAHs from water were predominantly derived from coal combustion (34%), oil spills (49%), and vehicular emissions (17%), while the major PAH sources to sediments were coal combustion. Using the ecological toxic equivalency factor index, it was concluded that the PAHs levels may provide a potential risk in water but not in sediments.     

Solid-surface phosphorescence characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and selective determination of benzo(a)pyrene in water samples

This paper presents the phosphorescence characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on solid-surface for obtaining new flow-through phosphorescence optosensors for PAHs-based on-line, immobilized onto a non-ionic resin solid support coupled to a continuous flow system and the applications for the selective determination of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP). The phosphorescent characterization of 15 PAHs, described as major pollutants by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene) has been carried out. The experimental variables (heavy atom, deoxygenation and organic solvent in samples) for obtaining different possibilities for developing mono and multi-parameter PAH sensors and the conditions for PAH screening have been carefully studied and the experimental conditions to determination of BaP in presence of other PAHs in water samples have been optimized.     

Improved efficiency of extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard Reference Material Diesel Particulate Matter (SRM 2975) using accelerated solvent extraction

The efficiency of extraction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with molecular masses of 252, 276, 278, 300, and 302 Da from standard reference material diesel particulate matter (SRM 2975) has been investigated using accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) with dichloromethane, toluene, methanol, and mixtures of toluene and methanol. Extraction of SRM 2975 using toluene/methanol (9:1, v/v) at maximum instrumental settings (200 °C, 20.7 MPa, and five extraction cycles) with 30-min extraction times resulted in the following elevations of the measured concentration when compared with the certified and reference concentrations reported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): benzo[b]fluoranthene, 46%; benzo[k]fluoranthene, 137%; benzo[e]pyrene, 103%; benzo[a]pyrene, 1,570%; perylene, 37%; indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, 41%; benzo[ghi]perylene, 163%; and coronene, 361%. The concentrations of the following PAHs were comparable to the reference values assigned by NIST: indeno[1,2,3-cd]fluoranthene, dibenz[a,h]anthracene, and picene. The measured concentration of dibenzo[a,e]-pyrene was lower than the information value reported by the NIST. The measured concentrations of other highly carcinogenic PAHs (dibenzo[a,l]pyrene, dibenzo[a,i]pyrene, and dibenzo[a,h]pyrene) in SRM 2975 are also reported. Comparison of measurements using the optimized ASE method and using similar conditions to those applied by the NIST for the assignment of PAH concentrations in SRM 2975 indicated that the higher values obtained in the present study were associated with more complete extraction of PAHs from the diesel particulate material. Re-extraction of the particulate samples demonstrated that the deuterated internal standards were more readily recovered than the native PAHs, which may explain the lower values reported by the NIST. The analytical results obtained in the study demonstrated that the efficient extraction of PAHs from SRM 2975 is a critical requirement for the accurate determination of PAHs with high molecular masses in this standard reference material and that the optimization of extraction conditions is essential to avoid underestimation of the PAH concentrations. The requirement is especially relevant to the human carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene, which is commonly used as an indicator of the carcinogenic risk presented by PAH mixtures.     

Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry in soils from Southeastern Romania

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was used for the determination of 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in surface soils from seventeen areas in Southeast Romania, including sites placed in the vicinity of Galati iron and steel plant and Lower Prut Meadow natural reserve in Galati County. The total concentration of PAHs (TPAHs) in the investigated soils ranges from 0.003 mg/kg to 38.524 mg/kg dry weight. According to Romanian legislation for trace organic compounds in soils of different uses, the amounts of PAHs in soils from the industrial zone exceed the normal values for the majority of individual PAHs. The lowest concentrations were found in soils sampled from the protected area of Lower Prut Meadow natural reserve and the highest near a zootechnique farm in the Prut River basin, where the alert levels exceeded for the less sensitive area in the case of TPAHs and benzo[b]fluoranthene and for the sensitive area in the case of chrysene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[k]fluoranthene and benzo[g,h,i]perylene. The sources of PAH contaminating soils are complex, being of both pyrogenic and petrogenic origins.     

Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and total fats in human milk

A sensitive and reliable analytical method was developed for the simultaneous extraction of PAHs and total fats and their determination in the human milk. The method involved a liquid-liquid extraction of PAHs and fats, followed by the gravimetric determination of the latter. PAHs were separated from lipids by size exclusion chromatography eluting with methylene chloride and analysed by gaschromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The recovery of analytes was in the range of 42-101% and agreed well with their boiling temperatures (R2=0.779). Precision of the method was found between 7.6 and 19%. Quantification and detection limits for individual PAHs ranged from 0.011 to 0.032 and from 0.006 to 0.022 microg/Kg milk (wet weight), respectively. Quantification limit for the total fat determination was 0.26 g/Kg milk (wet weight). This procedure, applied to milk samples of ten healthy, non-smoking, Italian primiparae, living in rural or low-traffic zones, allowed for the identification and quantitative determination of naphthalene, acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene and benzo(k)fluoranthene in the mean concentration range 0.114-6.95 microg/Kg milk (wet weight). The most volatile compounds, which were not investigated elsewhere, were found at much higher concentrations than those observed for the others. No relation was found between PAH and total fat concentrations.     

Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Airborne Particulate by High Performance Liquid Chromatography

This paper presents a trisolvent ultrasonic extraction and HPLC analysis method for the determination of 11 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in air particulate collected on an air filter by a commercial high volume air sampler. A reverse phase column, Vydac 201 TP, and a gradient mobile phase, acetonitrile/water, were used. The 11 PAHs, fluoranthene, pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, dibenz[a, h]anthracene, benzo[ghi]perylene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, and coronene were completely resolved under experimental conditions. All the PAHs except coronene were monitored by fluorescence with λ_ex=270 nm, λ_em>389 nm. Coronene was monitored by UV with λ=300 nm. The methodology was evaluated by spiking SRM 1649 with a PAH standard and then going through different extraction procedures and analyzing the PAH concentrations without clean-up. An external standard method was used for quantitation. The recovery yields for fluoranthene, benz[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[ghi]perylene and indeno[l,2,3-cd]pyrene were above 90%. The detection limits of PAH with fluorescence at λ_ex=270 nm, λ_em>389 nm ranged from 5.7 pg to 69.5 pg.

Biodegradation of Fluoranthene by Basidiomycetes Fungal Isolate <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pleurotus Ostreatus</Emphasis> HP-1

The biodegradation of fluoranthene, a high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), was investigated in submerged culture using the wood decaying fungus isolated from forest locality in Gujarat, India. The basidiomycete fungal isolate was found to have an ability to grow on sabaroud dextrose agar containing 50 mgl⁻¹ of each naphthalene, anthracene, acenaphthene, benzo (a) anthracene, pyrene, flouranthene, carbazole, and biphenyl. The involvement of extracellular fungal peroxidases such as manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase (Phenol oxidase) in the degradation of fluoranthene was studied. On the eighth day of incubation 54.09% of 70 mg l⁻¹ fluoranthene was removed. There after no PAHs removal was observed till the 20th day of the incubation period. The isolate was identified as Pleurotus ostreatus by 18S rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, and partial 28S rRNA gene sequencing. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time Pleurotus ostreatus have been reported to degrade such a high concentration of fluoranthene within much lower time period of incubation. Depletion in the residual fluoranthene in the culture medium was determined by HPLC. Attempts were made to identify the degradation product in the culture medium with the help of FT-IR, NMR, and HPTLC analysis. In the present study positive correlation between fluoranthene degradation and the ligninolytic enzyme (MnP and laccase) production is observed, thus this isolate can play an effective role for bioremediation of PAHs contaminated sites.     

An experimental design approach to optimise the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from rainfall water using stir bar sorptive extraction and high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection

Stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) followed by HPLC-fluorescence detection (FLD) was optimised for analysing 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from water samples, especially rainfall water with low PAH content. The literature data described widely different experimental conditions for the extraction of PAHs by SBSE. A chemometric approach was therefore used to evaluate the statistically influential and/or interacting factors, among those described in the literature, and to find the best extraction and desorption conditions. Among six factors studied in a 2(6-2) fractional factorial design, only sample volume, extraction time and the interaction between both of them had significant effects on the PAH extraction recoveries. Optimal sample volume of 10 mL and extraction time of 140 min were obtained with a response surface design. For the desorption conditions, a Box-Behnken design showed that desorption time, temperature and PAH concentrations had significant effects. The best conditions were two successive desorptions with 100 microL of acetonitrile for 25 min at 50 degrees C. The optimised method was repeatable (RSD< or =5.3% for 50 ng L(-1) spiked water and < or =12.8% for 5 ng L(-1) spiked water), linear (R(2)> or =0.9956), with quantitative absolute recoveries (> or =87.8% for 50 ng L(-1) spiked water), and with the LOD between 0.2 and 1.5 ng L(-1). The optimised method was successfully applied to six-rainfall water samples collected in a suburban area. The total PAHs concentrations studied ranged from 31 to 105.1 ng L(-1). Seasonal variation was observed and on average three PAHs were at the highest concentrations (phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene).     

Atmospheric levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in gas and particulate phases from Tarragona Region (NE Spain)

The atmospheric levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric samples taken at two urban sites and two sites near industrial areas of the Tarragona region (Catalonia, Spain), where one of the most important petrochemical complexes in the south of Europe is located, were determined. Gas and particulate phase of air were separately sampled and analysed. Concentrations of 16 PAHs studied ranged from 4.2 to 22.5 ng m^?3, with predominant levels of PAHs appearing in gas phase (～90% of total PAHs). In all samples, the most abundant compounds were phenanthrene, with a contribution to total PAHs between 32 and 44%, followed by naphthalene, fluorene and fluoranthene (contribution range: 10–22%). The levels of total PAHs, expressed as benzo[a]pyrene toxic equivalent factors (BaP_TEF), were lower than 0.06 ng m^?3.     

Evaluation of surface sediment contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in colony Z3—(Patos Lagoon, Brazil)

This paper describes the extraction and analysis of Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in five points of the Patos Lagoon Estuary. These points were in the area named “colony Z3”, which is a craft fishermen community in Pelotas City (southern Brazil). Samples were collected in July of 2007, and the concentrations of 16 USEPA priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometry detector (GC/MS). The PAH concentrations ranged from 4.7 to 112.5 µg kg^− 1 dry weight. Sediment samples with the highest PAH concentrations appeared at point 2, which is a pier. The correlation between the total organic material (TOM) and the total PAH concentration suggests that TOM plays an important role in controlling the PAH levels in sediments. According to the observed ratios of individual PAHs, the contamination in the studied areas originated both from high-temperature pyrolytic processes and petrogenic sources. The levels of PAHs at the studied sites in the Z3 colony (Patos Lagoon) were low enough that they should not exert adverse biological effects.     

Reactive uptake of NO3, N2O5, NO2, HNO3, and O3 on three types of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon surfaces

We investigated the reactive uptake of NO3, N2O5, NO2, HNO3, and O3 on three types of solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using a coated wall flow tube reactor coupled to a chemical ionization mass spectrometer. The PAH surfaces studied were the 4-ring systems pyrene, benz[a]anthracene, and fluoranthene. Reaction of NO3 radicals with all three PAHs was observed to be very fast with the reactive uptake coefficient, gamma, ranging from 0.059 (+0.11/-0.049) for benz[a]anthracene at 273 K to 0.79 (+0.21/-0.67) for pyrene at room temperature. In contrast to the NO3 reactions, reactions of the different PAHs with the other gas-phase species (N2O5, NO2, HNO3, and O3) were at or below the detection limit (gamma 相似文献   

Development of a targeted adductomic method for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon DNA adducts using online column‐switching liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

Human exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from sources such as industrial or urban air pollution, tobacco smoke and cooked food is not confined to a single compound, but instead to mixtures of different PAHs. The interaction of different PAHs may lead to additive, synergistic or antagonistic effects in terms of DNA adduct formation and carcinogenic activity resulting from changes in metabolic activation to reactive intermediates and DNA repair. The development of a targeted DNA adductomic approach using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) incorporating software‐based peak picking and integration for the assessment of exposure to mixtures of PAHs is described. For method development PAH‐modified DNA samples were obtained by reaction of the anti‐dihydrodiol epoxide metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DB[a,l]P) and dibenz[a,h]anthracene with calf thymus DNA in vitro and enzymatically hydrolysed to 2′‐deoxynucleosides. Positive LC/electrospray ionisation (ESI)‐MS/MS collision‐induced dissociation product ion spectra data showed that the majority of adducts displayed a common fragmentation for the neutral loss of 116 u (2′‐deoxyribose) resulting in a major product ion derived from the adducted base. The exception was the DB[a,l]P dihydrodiol epoxide adduct of 2′‐deoxyadenosine which resulted in major product ions derived from the PAH moiety being detected. Specific detection of mixtures of PAH‐adducted 2′‐deoxynucleosides was achieved using online column‐switching LC/MS/MS in conjunction with selected reaction monitoring (SRM) of the [M+H]⁺ to [M+H–116]⁺ transition plus product ions derived from the PAH moiety for improved sensitivity of detection and a comparison was made to detection by constant neutral loss scanning. In conclusion, different PAH DNA adducts were detected by employing SRM [M+H–116]⁺ transitions or constant neutral loss scanning. However, for improved sensitivity of detection optimised SRM transitions relating to the PAH moiety product ions are required for certain PAH DNA adducts for the development of targeted DNA adductomic methods.

Desorptivity versus chemical reactivity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in atmospheric aerosols collected on quartz fiber filters

Nine polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contained in air samples collected on quartz fiber filters inside an urban tunnel and in a nearby mixed commercial residential area in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were exposed to scrubbed air (to measure desorption loss) and to particle-free ambient air (to measure chemical reaction losses in the absence of desorption). The exposures were conducted for 5.5 to 9 hour periods at ambient temperature (22-26 degrees C) at face velocities typical of high volume sampling. Under prevailing atmospheric conditions all nine PAHs experienced filter losses which (for most of them) followed first order kinetics. For the ambient samples, in a 6 hour exposure period, the following five PAHs showed filter losses (% in parantheses) attributed exclusively to chemical reaction: benzo(b)fluoranthene (43), benzo(k)fluoranthene (39), benzo(a)pyrene (70), benzo(ghi)perylene (44), and indeno (1,2,3-cd)pyrene (41). The other four showed the following unassigned losses: pyrene (100), fluoranthene (65), crysene (72), and benzo(a)anthracene (71). The results are discussed in the light of possible filter artifacts in PAH sampling and the use of PAH profile signatures for source identification of atmospheric particulate matter in receptor modeling.     

Identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in suspended particulate matter by synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic technique

The synchronous fluorescence (SF) technique has been used in the identification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from air particulate sample in an urban environment of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University. Suspended particulate matter samples of 24h duration were collected on glass fiber filter papers. PAHs were extracted from the filter papers using dichloromethane (DCM)+hexane with ultrasonication method. Qualitative measurements of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were carried out using the SF technique at various wavelength intervals (Deltalambda). Due to the difference in chemical structure, each PAH gives specific characteristic spectrum for each Deltalambda. Following PAHs were detected in our measurement: benz(a)anthracene (BaA), pyrene (Pyr), chrysene (Chry), fluoranthene (Flan), phenanthrene (Phen), and benz(ghi)perylene (BghiP). This is in agreement with our earlier work for determination of these PAHs using gas chromatography (GC). The seasonal variation of the PAHs was found to be maximum in winter and minimum during the monsoon.
