The presence of polar pesticides in environmental waters is a growing problem. After application their migration into the aqueous phase is promoted by their high water solubility. Transport processes are usually complex and inputs are generally stochastic; this makes monitoring of this class of pesticides challenging using low volume spot samples of water. Recently there has been a trend to use passive samplers to monitor pesticides in river catchments as it is an in-situ time integrative sampling technique. The three main types of device used for this purpose are, Chemcatcher®, POCIS and o-DGT. This article reviews the fate and current state-of-the-art for monitoring polar pesticides in aqueous matrices. Principles and the theory of passive sampling and strategies for passive sampler design and operation are presented. Advances in the application of passive sampling devices for measuring polar pesticides are extensively critiqued; future trends in their use are also discussed. 相似文献

In this paper the most recent developments in the microextraction of polar analytes from aqueous environmental samples are critically reviewed. The particularities of different microextraction approaches, mainly solid-phase microextraction (SPME), stir-bar-sorptive extraction (SBSE), and liquid-phase microextraction (LPME), and their suitability for use in combination with chromatographic or electrically driven separation techniques for determination of polar species are discussed. The compatibility of microextraction techniques, especially SPME, with different derivatisation strategies enabling GC determination of polar analytes and improving their extractability is revised. In addition to the use of derivatisation reactions, the possibility of enhancing the yield of solid-phase microextraction methods for polar analytes by using new coatings and/or larger amounts of sorbent is also considered. Finally, attention is also focussed on describing the versatility of LPME in its different possible formats and its ability to improve selectivity in the extraction of polar analytes with acid-base properties by using separation membranes and buffer solutions, instead of organic solvents, as the acceptor solution. 相似文献

Concerns over the occurrence and transport of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) from local sources to remote regions have resulted in wide developments in sampling strategy and analytical methodology for the determination of trace concentrations of EOCs in the atmosphere. This article discusses developments in the determination of EOCs in ambient air which includes polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs), brominated-flame retardants (BFRs), synthesis musk fragrances, and alkylphenols (APs). References were mainly summarized from the past 5 years (2002 up to present) on new developments of sampling methods, extraction, separation/fractionation and/or applications of new technologies for sampling and determination. 相似文献

Passive sampling is based on the phenomenon of mass transport due to the difference between chemical potentials of analytes in a given environmental compartment and the collection medium inside a dosimeter. The subsequent laboratory procedure (i.e. extraction, identification and determination of analytes) is the same as in the case of classic sampling techniques.Passive sampling techniques are characterized by simplicity with regard to the dosimeter's construction as well as its maintenance. Therefore, they find ever increasing application in the field of environmental research and analytics. When choosing a passive sampling method, one should not forget that some passive samplers require the time-consuming calibration step before being used in the field.Novel solutions and modifications of existing sampler designs have been presented. Practical application of passive dosimetry in environmental analytics, including sampling of water, soil, air and other atypical media are discussed. Some aspects of calibration methods in passive dosimetry are also described. The latest trends in the application of passive sampling are highlighted. 相似文献

Lightly crosslinked theophylline imprinted polyN-(N-propyl)acrylamide particles (ca. 300 nm in diameter) that are designed to swell and shrink as a function of analyte concentration in aqueous media were spin coated onto a gold surface. The nanospheres responded selectively to the targeted analyte due to molecular imprinting. Chemical sensing was based on changes in the refractive index of the imprinted particles that accompanied swelling due to binding of the targeted analyte, which was detected using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Because swelling leads to an increase in the percentage of water in the polymer, the refractive index of the polymer nanospheres decreased as the particles swelled. In the presence of aqueous theophylline at concentrations as low as 10−6 M, particle swelling is both pronounced and readily detectable. The full scale response of the imprinted particles to template occurs in less than 10 min. Swelling is also reversible and independent of the ionic strength of the solution in contact with the polymer. Replicate precision is less than 10−4 RI units. By comparison, there is no response to caffeine which is similar in structure to theophylline at concentrations as high as 1 × 10−2 M. Changes in the refractive index of the imprinted polymer particles, as low as 10−4 RI units could be readily detected. A unique aspect of the prepared particles is the use of light crosslinking rather than heavy crosslinking. This is a significant development as it indicates that heavy crosslinking is not entirely necessary for selectivity in molecular imprinting with polyacrylamides. 相似文献

In this review, recent developments for the determination of emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) in plant tissues are discussed focusing on the homogenization, extraction and determination steps involved. Eleven classes of EOCs, namely antibiotics, analgesics, antiepileptics, antidepressants, antiseptics, plasticizers, fragrances, surfactants, flame retardants, and phenoxy acid herbicides, have been evaluated. Methods are critically reviewed in terms of all the analytical steps involved in the analysis, sampling and sample preparation, separation, and the detection strategies employed. The extraction from tissue samples was performed in most cases by solid–liquid extraction, whereas the clean-up was performed by solid-phase extraction. The identification and quantification of EOCs in crops from the agricultural field (i.e. parts per billion range) is usually performed by using mass spectrometry techniques such as single quadrupole mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry coupled to high resolution chromatographic techniques. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays are more rarely used. New developments such as in vivo solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and the assessment of the bioavailability–bioaccesibility of contaminants in crops are shown. 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 EOCs in crops. 相似文献

An overview of Toxicity Identification and Evaluation (TIE) procedures, used for the effect-based analysis of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in environmental samples, is presented. Future trends in advanced chemical analysis of EDCs and some emerging contaminants are outlined. The review also gives an overview of concentration levels found in environmental samples and discusses the correlation of calculated estrogenicity (based on chemical analysis of target EDCs) with that measured by various bioassays. 相似文献

This review reports different approaches for monitoring the presence of organic contaminants in marine environments. From the traditional standard chromatographic methodologies coupled to different detectors to the recent advances in sensor technology, different strategies have been adopted by researchers aiming to provide more comprehensive, realistic and accurate environmental monitoring data sets. Reports on chemical analysis by different techniques of marine water and sediments, using grab and passive sampling techniques, are the most abundant in literature, showing relevant developments. Analysis of the marine biota (biomonitoring) has also been widely used as a proxy for the detection of organic chemicals in seawater, with bivalves being the most used as sentinel specie. Such biomonitoring can provide insights on bioavailability and bioaccumulation of organic pollutants, which is not possible to obtain by water and sediment analysis solely. Furthermore, effect-based methods are also presented as an important approach when it comes to obtain environmental meaningful data, such as potential toxicity and hazards posed by the complex chemical mixtures to local biota. This approach is reported to be a useful tool for screening areas without any previous knowledge on chemical composition, with subsequential qualitative and quantitative characterization being performed by chemical analysis. Finally, some of the most recent developments in sensor and biosensor technology for environmental purposes are also discussed, with some proof-of-concept studies showing promising results. However, further development and validations work is strongly advised prior to the use of those sensing platforms in real field trials. 相似文献

Abstract Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for 4-nitrophenol have been successfully prepared by a thermal polymerization method using 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) as functional monomer and cross-linker, respectively. The obtained materials were evaluated with respect to their selective recognition properties for 4-nitrophenol by HPLC using organic and aqueous eluents. Furthermore, the specific binding sites that have been created during the polymerization process were analyzed via radioligand binding assays. The successful imprinting against 4-nitrophenol provides a new opportunity for advanced separation materials used in environmental analysis. 相似文献

Three new hypercrosslinked polymers with hydrophilic character arising from hydroxyl moieties in their skeletons have been prepared in microsphere format and applied to the off-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) of polar compounds from water samples. For sample volumes of 1000 ml, the recoveries of various polar pesticides, such as oxamyl, methomyl, selected phenolic compounds, as well as some pharmaceuticals, were close to 90%. The HXLPP-polar polymer with the best performance characteristics was applied to real samples. Its performance was also compared to commercially available sorbents, such as LiChrolut EN (hydrophobic, hypercrosslinked), Oasis HLB (hydrophilic, macroporous) and Isolute ENV+ (hydrophilic, hypercrosslinked); the new sorbent out-performed the commercially available sorbents. The polymer was applied successfully in off-line SPE of river water samples followed by liquid chromatography and ultraviolet detection, providing a good linear range and detection limits of 0.2 μg l−1 for the majority of the compounds, with the exception of oxamyl, methomyl, guaiacol and salicylic acid where the detection limit was 0.5 μg l−1. 相似文献

Flame retardants, surfactants, pharmaceutical and personal care products, among other compounds, have been the object of numerous environmental studies. In this chapter, the application of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) in the development of analytical methods for several groups of organic compounds with growing concern as emerging pollutants has been considered. Compared to other extraction techniques, optimization of MAE experimental conditions is rather easy owing to the low number of influential parameters (i.e. matrix moisture, nature of the solvent, time, power, and temperature in closed vessels). The great reduction in the extraction time and solvent consumption, as well as the possibility of performing multiple extractions, increasing the sample throughput, can also be highlighted among MAE advantages. In summary, the study of several applications of MAE to environmental problems demonstrates that this technique constitutes a good alternative for the determination of organic compounds in environmental samples. It can be used as a rapid screening tool, and also to obtain detailed information on the sources, behaviour and fate of emerging pollutants in environmental matrices. 相似文献

A screening methodology designed to detect the presence of organic materials that leach into water from coal deposits was developed and evaluated. Analytical objectives included the ability to detect 16 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at the lowest practical levels, capability for fingerprint analysis of other compounds, and ease of use under remote field conditions. The approach developed involved drawing 1?L water samples through a styrene divinylbenzene-based solid-phase extraction cartridge by suction, elution of the cartridge with tetrahydrofuran/hexane, evaporative concentration of the eluent, and reconstitution in acetonitrile, followed by analysis using high-pressure liquid chromatography with ultraviolet absorption and fluorescence detectors. The method was found to be easy to use under field conditions, providing generally acceptable recoveries and, in most cases, lower detection limits than current regulatory methods. The ability to detect PAHs and other organic compounds in simulated coal leachate solutions was demonstrated. 相似文献

A magnetic material based on Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles incorporated in a silica matrix by using a sol-gel procedure has been used to extract and preconcentrate emerging contaminants such as acetylsalicylic acid, acetaminophen, diclofenac and ibuprofen from environmental water samples prior to the analysis with Capillary LC-MS. The use of the proposed silica supported Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles enables surfactant free extracts for the analysis with MS detection without interferences in the ionisation step. Under the optimum conditions, we demonstrated the reusability of the magnetic sorbent material during 20 uses without loss in the extraction efficiency. In addition, no cleanup was necessary. The preconcentration factor was 100 and the detection limits were between 50 and 150 ng/L. The proposed procedure has been applied to the analysis of water samples obtaining recoveries between 80 and 110% and RSD values lower than 12%. Concentrations of the target analytes over the range 1.7 and 0.1 μg/L have been found in different water samples. 相似文献

The presence of estrogens in the aquatic environment has been the target of several studies in the last decade. Newly developed passive sampling techniques for polar organic chemicals show great promise for the assessment of long-time exposure of aquatic organisms to emerging contaminants. In the present work, two configurations of the Chemcatcher® passive sampler have been tested for their applicability to the analysis of seven estrogens in water. Accumulation experiments in the laboratory, to calculate the uptake rates, and a field trial show that the polar configuration of this device may be used for the efficient sampling and determination of estrogens in water. Time weighted average concentrations were determined in the field trial and compared with spot sampling concentrations. The detection of estriol using passive sampling, although not found with spot sampling, clearly demonstrates the value of this technique in assessing relevant concentrations of estrogens in the aquatic media. 相似文献

The use of passive sampling to monitor spatial trends of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at an industrial city of Turkey 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Ambient concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured using passive sampling technique at 49 sampling points in Kocaeli, an important industrial city in Turkey. Air samples were analyzed using thermal desorption (TD) and gas chromatography/flame ionization detectors (FID). Concentrations of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m/p-xylenes, and o-xylene (BTEX), 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, 3-ethyltoluene, and 4-ethyltoluene were investigated to determine their spatial distribution and source apportionment. Concentrations of ΣBTEX ranged from 3.7 to 335.5 μg/m3. Among all the VOC species, m/p-xylene and toluene have the highest concentration. The spatial distributions for BTEX concentrations showed characteristic patterns: high concentrations were typically found along major roads, city centres, and near industrial plants. Pollution sources potentially affecting concentrations were identified using statistical analyses. The results of factor analysis indicated that vehicle exhaust and industrial activity were the predominant emission sources of the VOCs. 相似文献

Halogenated organic contaminants, including legislated and potential persistent organic pollutants and their precursors, represent a major environmental concern due to their hazardous effects in humans and wildlife as well as their ability to bioaccumulate through the food chain, their high resistance to environmental degradation, and their long-range atmospheric transport potential. The monitoring of these compounds in the environment at ultra-trace concentration levels requires highly selective and sensitive analytical methodologies. The lack of reference step-by-step methods led to a high number of reliable determinations depending on analytes, the complexity of the sample, and available instrumentation. Thus, this review article is mainly focused on the last advances in the analytical methodologies for the determination of halogenated organic contaminants. Methodologies regarding sample treatment, chromatographic separation, and mass spectrometry analysis have been reviewed to finally highlight the future perspectives for the improvement of the analytical determinations of these compounds and the throughput of environmental control laboratories in this field. 相似文献

An integrative passive sampler (Chemcatcher®) consisting of a 47 mm C18 Empore™ disk as the receiving phase overlaid with a thin cellulose acetate diffusion membrane was developed and calibrated for the measurement of time-weighted average water concentrations of organotin compounds [monobutyltin (MBT), dibutyltin (DBT), tributlytin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPhT)] in water. The effect of water temperature and turbulence on the uptake rate of these analytes was evaluated in the laboratory using a flow-through tank. Uptake was linear over a 14-day period being in the range: MBT (3-23 mL day−1), DBT (40-200 mL day−1), TBT (30-200 mL day−1) and TPhT (30-190 mL day−1) for all the different conditions tested. These sampling rates were high enough to permit the use of the Chemcatcher® to monitor levels of organotin compounds typically found in polluted aquatic environments. Using gas chromatography (GC) with either ICP-MS or flame photometric detection, limits of detection for the device (14-day deployment) for the different organotin compounds in water were in the range of 0.2-7.5 ng L−1, and once accumulated in the receiving phase the compounds were stable over prolonged periods. Due to anisotropic exchange kinetics, performance reference compounds could not be used with this passive sampling system to compensate for changes in sampling rate due to variations in water temperature, turbulence and biofouling of the surface of the diffusion membrane during field deployments. The performance of the Chemcatcher® was evaluated alongside spot water sampling in Alicante Habour, Spain which is known to contain elevated levels of organotin compounds. The samplers provided time-weighted average concentrations of the bioavailable fractions of the tin compounds where environmental concentrations fluctuated markedly in time. 相似文献
