Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons formed during the pyrolysis of phenylalanine

The formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) during pyrolysis process of phenylalanine had been studied. Ten PAHs, including fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo[a]anthracene, chrysene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[e]pyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry using selective ion monitoring mode. This technique offers the capability to analyze trace amounts of PAHs in phenylalanine pyrolyzates. The pyrolysis was carried out in a micro-furnace with quartz furnace liner. The injection was conducted with glass pelletizer syringe to avoid metal contamination. Qualitative results were obtained at 900 degrees C and quantitative analysis of 10 PAHs was done for 700 and 900 degrees C.

为筛选用于考察外源添加剂对卷烟常规烟气指标影响的样品制备关键控制因子,采用L_8(2~7)正交试验设计进行香兰素及乙基麦芽酚的添加实验.卷烟常规烟气指标变化数值通过极差分析、方差分析,结果显示:参比卷烟种类是影响卷烟烟气总粒相物、焦油、水分的高度显著因子,就试验采用的1R5F和3R4F参比卷烟而言,添加剂在高焦油3R4F卷烟中对常规烟气指标的影响比其在低焦油1R5F卷烟中的影响大;添加剂种类与浓度的交互作用不仅对卷烟烟气总粒相物有高度显著影响,而且对总粒相物中的水分也有显著影响;因此,规范样品制备,可减少误差、保证后续外源添加剂加入对卷烟常规烟气指标影响评价结果和推断的可靠性及科学性.

Differential Response of Pentanal and Hexanal Exhalation to Supplemental Oxygen and Mechanical Ventilation in Rats

High inspired oxygen during mechanical ventilation may influence the exhalation of the previously proposed breath biomarkers pentanal and hexanal, and additionally induce systemic inflammation. We therefore investigated the effect of various concentrations of inspired oxygen on pentanal and hexanal exhalation and serum interleukin concentrations in 30 Sprague Dawley rats mechanically ventilated with 30, 60, or 93% inspired oxygen for 12 h. Pentanal exhalation did not differ as a function of inspired oxygen but increased by an average of 0.4 (95%CI: 0.3; 0.5) ppb per hour, with concentrations doubling from 3.8 (IQR: 2.8; 5.1) ppb at baseline to 7.3 (IQR: 5.0; 10.8) ppb after 12 h. Hexanal exhalation was slightly higher at 93% of inspired oxygen with an average difference of 0.09 (95%CI: 0.002; 0.172) ppb compared to 30%. Serum IL-6 did not differ by inspired oxygen, whereas IL-10 at 60% and 93% of inspired oxygen was greater than with 30%. Both interleukins increased over 12 h of mechanical ventilation at all oxygen concentrations. Mechanical ventilation at high inspired oxygen promotes pulmonary lipid peroxidation and systemic inflammation. However, the response of pentanal and hexanal exhalation varies, with pentanal increasing by mechanical ventilation, whereas hexanal increases by high inspired oxygen concentrations.     

Experimental investigation on the effectiveness of sorption energy recovery wheel in ventilation system

The object of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of sorption energy exchanger and the impact of the operational and thermal environmental conditions on their efficiency under steady-state conditions. To achieve this object, a test facility was installed into the Indoor Air Quality and Thermal Comfort Laboratory of BUTE University. A molecular 3Å sieve sorption wheel with high latent effectiveness is integrated into the experimental setup. In this study, the correlation between the sensible, latent, total effectiveness under different ambient air temperature and humidity values and different rotational speeds of the wheel is investigated in detailed by experimental tests.     

Quantitation of perfluoroalkyl acids,parabens and cotinine from single low volume serum sample by validated analytical method

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present the results of an analytical method that has been recently developed, validated and successfully applied in a biomonitoring approach. In the environmental pollutant studies it is desirable that the analytical method can determine multiple classes of compounds from a single, small volume sample. The presented analytical method with a simple sample pre-treatment allows the quantitation of 13 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs), 6 parabens and cotinine (used as nicotine biomarker) from a single, small volume of 100 µL serum sample by liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). The limits of quantitation (LOQ) for PFAAs, parabens and cotinine were 0.10–0.50, 0.20–0.80 and 0.10 ng/mL, respectively. Besides sensitivity the method has excellent trueness/accuracy and repeatability. The trueness of the method for the determination of PFAAs ranged from 95% to 106% and the repeatability (as RSD %) from 0.6% to 5.6%. The accuracy and RSD for parabens were 73–120% and 1.3–9.7%, respectively, and 100–106% and 1.3–3.5 % for cotinine. Biomonitoring data reveals the presence of several PFAAs and parabens in serum samples of Finnish population. The total concentrations for PFAAs and parabens were from 2.0 to 33 ng/mL and from <LOQ to 1100 ng/mL, respectively. Nearly all non-smokers had the serum cotinine concentration below 1.0 ng/mL, which can be suggested as the cut point for cotinine concentration to identify smoking.     

Potential Mitigation of Smoke Taint in Wines by Post-Harvest Ozone Treatment of Grapes

When bushfires occur near grape growing regions, vineyards can be exposed to smoke, and depending on the timing and duration of grapevine smoke exposure, fruit can become tainted. Smoke-derived volatile compounds, including volatile phenols, can impart unpleasant smoky, ashy characters to wines made from smoke-affected grapes, leading to substantial revenue losses where wines are perceivably tainted. This study investigated the potential for post-harvest ozone treatment of smoke-affected grapes to mitigate the intensity of smoke taint in wine. Merlot grapevines were exposed to smoke at ~7 days post-veraison and at harvest grapes were treated with 1 or 3 ppm of gaseous ozone (for 24 or 12 h, respectively), prior to winemaking. The concentrations of smoke taint marker compounds (i.e., free and glycosylated volatile phenols) were measured in grapes and wines to determine to what extent ozonation could mitigate the effects of grapevine exposure to smoke. The 24 h 1 ppm ozone treatment not only gave significantly lower volatile phenol and volatile phenol glycoside concentrations but also diminished the sensory perception of smoke taint in wine. Post-harvest smoke and ozone treatment of grapes suggests that ozone works more effectively when smoke-derived volatile phenols are in their free (aglycone) form, rather than glycosylated forms. Nevertheless, the collective results demonstrate the efficacy of post-harvest ozone treatment as a strategy for mitigation of smoke taint in wine.
