Abstract
Bisphenols and phthalates are wide classes of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) extensively used as additives in plastic products. In this study, a fast and reliable analytical method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) coupled with LC-MS/MS was developed and optimized for simultaneous determination of 8 bisphenols and 7 phthalates in raw mussel extract. The LC-MS/MS method was tested for linearity (R2), inter- and intra-day repeatability, limit of detection and quantification, both for matrix-free and matrix-matched solutions. The MSPD method was optimized in terms of ratio between sample and sorbent, and the type and quantity of the eluents in order to maximize the recoveries and to minimize matrix effects. The obtained recoveries (values between 75% and 113%), limits of detection (values between 0.048 and 0.36 µg kg-1), limits of quantification (values between 0.16 and 1.28 µg kg-1), repeatability (RSD% between 1.30% and 8.41%) and linearity (R2 > 0.998) were satisfactory and suitable for the determination of target micropollutants in food samples. In addition, the low solvent consumption and fast execution make this method ideal for routinely determinations of bisphenols and phthalates in mussels.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133050.

Abstract
Porous organic polymers (POPs) are prominent sorbents for effective extraction of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). However, green and sustainable construction of functional POPs is still challenging. Herein, we developed a magnetic azo POP (Mazo-POP) for the first time using hydroxy-rich natural kaempferol and low-toxic basic fuchsin as monomers through a diazo coupling reaction. The Mazo-POP exhibited excellent extraction capabilities for EDCs with a phenolic structure. Consequently, it was used as a magnetic sorbent for extracting phenolic EDCs from water and fish samples, followed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric detection. The Mazo-POP based analytical method afforded a good linearity of 0.06-100 ng mL-1 and 0.3-500 ng g-1 for water and fish samples respectively, with detection limits (S/N = 3) of 0.02-0.5 ng mL-1 and 0.1-1.5 ng g-1, respectively. The method recovery was from 85.2% to 109% and relative standard deviation was less 5.3%. Moreover, the effective adsorption was mainly contributed by hydrogen bond, π-π interaction, pore filling and hydrophobic interaction. This work not only provides an efficient method for sensitive determination of phenolic EDCs, but also highlights the significance of green preparation of environmentally friendly sorbents for enriching/adsorbing pollutants.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction as an easy-to-perform analytical methodology for monitoring ibuprofen and its main metabolites in mussels. Anal Bioanal Chem 2022; 414:5877-5886. [PMID: 35661234 PMCID: PMC9166212 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-022-04153-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been reported to be the main pharmaceutical class accumulated in seafood. Among them, ibuprofen (IBU) is of special concern as it is used worldwide to treat common pain, does not require a medical prescription, it is often taken in a high daily dose, and has been reported to cause potential adverse effects on aquatic organisms. IBU is highly transformed into hydroxy- and carboxy-metabolites and/or degradation products generated not only after its administration but also during wastewater treatment or in the environment. These compounds can be present in the environment at higher concentrations than IBU and present higher toxicity. In this work, a low-cost and affordable routine analytical method was developed and validated for the first-time determination of IBU and its main metabolites in mussels. The method is based on ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), clean-up by dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and analytical determination by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Box-Behnken experimental design was used for method optimisation to better evaluate the influence and interactions of UAE and d-SPE variables. Extraction recoveries were in the range from 81 to 115%. Precision, expressed as relative standard deviation, was lower than 7%. Method detection limits were in the range from 0.1 to 1.9 ng g−1 dry weight. The method was successfully applied to wild mussels.
