Abstract
Trihalomethanes (THMs) are classified as volatile organic compounds, considered to be a disinfection by-product during water disinfection process. THMs have been shown to be cytotoxic, genotoxic and mutagenic, with a risk of cancer when they contact with people directly. To protect public health and monitor water quality, it is important to monitor and measure THMs in drinking water. Therefore, it is crucial to develop fast, accurate, highly sensitivity and green analysis methods of THMs in various complicated matrices. Here, this review presents an overall summary of the current state of the pretreatment and detection methods for THMs in various sample matrices since 2005. In addition to the traditionally used pretreatment methods for THMs (such as headspace extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, liquid-liquid extraction), the new-developed methods, including solid-phase extraction, QuEChERS and different microextraction methods, have been summarized. The detection methods include gas chromatography-based methods, sensors and several other approaches. Additionally, benefits and limitations of different techniques were also discussed and compared. This study is anticipated to offer fruitful insights into the further advancement and widespread applications of pretreatment and detection technologies for THMs as well as for related substances.

Hao Y, Zhou R, Wang S, Ding X, Zhu J, Yang L, Li Y, Ding X. Quantitative determination of bromochloroacetamide in mice urine by gas chromatography combined with salting-out assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction. ANALYTICAL METHODS : ADVANCING METHODS AND APPLICATIONS 2023.

Abstract
Bromochloroacetamide (BCAcAm) is the main haloacetamide (HAcAm) detected in drinking water in different regions and exhibits strong cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. However, there is no appropriate method for detecting BCAcAm in urine or other biological samples, and thus, the internal exposure level in the population cannot be accurately assessed. In this study, a gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GC-ECD) was combined with salting-out assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (SA-DLLME) to develop a rapid and robust method for BCAcAm detection in urine of mice continuously exposed to BCAcAm. The factors influencing the pre-treatment procedure, including the type and volume of extraction and disperser solvents, extraction and standing time, and the amount of salt, were evaluated systematically. Under the optimised conditions, the analyte achieved good linearity in the spiked concentration range of 1.00-400.00 μg L-1, and the correlation coefficient was higher than 0.999. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.17 μg L-1 and 0.50 μg L-1, respectively. The recoveries ranged from 84.20% to 92.17%. The detection of BCAcAm at three different calibration levels using this method afforded an intra-day precision of 1.95-4.29%, while the inter-day precision range was 5.54-9.82% (n = 6). This method has been successfully applied to monitor the concentration of BCAcAm in mouse urine in toxicity experiments and can provide technical support for assessing human internal exposure levels and health risks in later studies.

Cohort-friendly protocol for the determination of two urinary biomarkers of exposure to pyrethroids and neonicotinoids using gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Anal Bioanal Chem 2019; 411:5013-5021. [PMID: 31222408 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-019-01925-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2019] [Revised: 04/04/2019] [Accepted: 05/16/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Neonicotinoids (NEOs) and synthetic pyrethroids (PYRs) are active ingredients of commercial pesticides and/or insecticides with extensive indoor and outdoor applications, worldwide. Improved exposure metrics are warranted for NEOs and PYRs, if we are to better understand their human health effects. A cohort-friendly protocol for determining non-specific biomarkers of exposure to NEOs and PYRs, e.g. 6-chloronicotinic acid (6-CN) and 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA), respectively, in human urine voids was proposed. A series of optimization experiments were conducted to validate the bioanalytical protocol using gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ-MS/MS) in MRM mode. The method reached low detection limits for both analytes (0.075 μg L-1 for 6-CN and 0.050 μg L-1 for 3-PBA) in a short preparation and analysis time. The method used small initial urine sample volume (2 mL), short extraction time (≈ 240 min for the batches of 32 samples) and instrumental analysis time (≈ 14 min) for both pesticide metabolites in a single run. This protocol could facilitate the assessment of population exposure metrics for these pesticides and their inclusion in health risk assessment. Graphical abstract.

Exposure to disinfection byproducts and risk of type 2 diabetes: a nested case-control study in the HUNT and Lifelines cohorts. Metabolomics 2019; 15:60.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Environmental chemicals acting as metabolic disruptors have been implicated with diabetogenesis, but evidence is weak among short-lived chemicals, such as disinfection byproducts (trihalomethanes, THM composed of chloroform, TCM and brominated trihalomethanes, BrTHM). OBJECTIVES We assessed whether THM were associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and we explored alterations in metabolic profiles due to THM exposures or T2D status. METHODS A prospective 1:1 matched case-control study (n = 430) and a cross-sectional 1:1 matched case-control study (n = 362) nested within the HUNT cohort (Norway) and the Lifelines cohort (Netherlands), respectively, were set up. Urinary biomarkers of THM exposure and mass spectrometry-based serum metabolomics were measured. Associations between THM, clinical markers, metabolites and disease status were evaluated using logistic regressions with Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator procedure. RESULTS Low median THM exposures (ng/g, IQR) were measured in both cohorts (cases and controls of HUNT and Lifelines, respectively, 193 (76, 470), 208 (77, 502) and 292 (162, 595), 342 (180, 602). Neither BrTHM (OR = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.67, 1.11 | OR = 1.09; 95% CI: 0.73, 1.61), nor TCM (OR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.88, 1.2 | OR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.79, 1.35) were associated with incident or prevalent T2D, respectively. Metabolomics showed 48 metabolites associated with incident T2D after adjusting for sex, age and BMI, whereas a total of 244 metabolites were associated with prevalent T2D. A total of 34 metabolites were associated with the progression of T2D. In data driven logistic regression, novel biomarkers, such as cinnamoylglycine or 1-methylurate, being protective of T2D were identified. The incident T2D risk prediction model (HUNT) predicted well incident Lifelines cases (AUC = 0.845; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.97). CONCLUSION Such exposome-based approaches in cohort-nested studies are warranted to better understand the environmental origins of diabetogenesis.

Abstract
Non-persistent environmental chemicals (NOPEC) are xenobiotics with short half-lives of elimination (<7h). Similar to chronopharmacokinetics, NOPEC metabolism may follow diurnal patterns of cytochrome P450 activity. The role of circadian liver clock in shaping NOPEC metabolism and their concomitant measurements of biomarkers of exposure and effect remains poorly understood in real-life human settings. Metabolic activation (toxication) by CYP2E1 converts trihalomethanes (THM) to harmful metabolites. We investigated the diurnal variation of urinary THM exposures and their metabolism patterns as catalyzed by CYP2E1 redox activity, using the surrogate marker of 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE). We implemented three time-series trials with adult volunteers conducting specific household cleaning activities at predefined times of a day. Circadia variation of 4HNE was assessed with a cosinor model and its mesor levels increased with THM exposure. The time of exposure within the day dictated the magnitude of urinary THM levels and their toxication effect; in all three trials and relative to urinary THM levels before the activity, lower and higher median THM were measured right after the activity in morning and afternoon/night, respectively. This is consistent with higher reported CYP2E1 redox activity in light/active phase. Population health studies should incorporate time-stamped biomarker data to improve the understanding of chronic disease processes.
