Abstract

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are persistent environmental pollutants originating from incomplete combustion of organic materials and synthetic sources. PAHs, PCBs, and PBDEs have all been shown to have a significant effect on human health with correlations to cancer and other diseases. Therefore, measuring the presence of these xenobiotics in the environment and human body is imperative for assessing their health risks. To date, their analyses require both gas chromatography and liquid chromatography separations in conjunction with mass spectrometry measurements for detection of both the parent molecules and their hydroxylated metabolites, making their studies extremely time consuming. In this work, we characterized PAHs, PCBs, PBDEs and their hydroxylated metabolites using ion mobility spectrometry coupled with mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) and in combination with different ionization methods including electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI). The collision cross section and m/z trend lines derived from the IMS-MS analyses displayed distinct trends for each molecule type. Additionally, the rapid isomeric and molecular separations possible with IMS-MS showed great promise for quickly distinguishing the parent and metabolized PAH, PCB, and PDBE molecules in complex environmental and biological samples.

Dietary uptake in pike (Esox lucius) of some polychlorinated biphenyls, polychlorinated naphthalenes and polybrominated diphenyl ethers administered in natural diet

Journal Article Burreau, S. ; Axelman, J. ; Broman, D. ; ... - Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry

The dietary uptake of 12 halogenated diaromatic compounds was studied using northern pike (Esox lucius L.) fed with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)). Before the trout were fed to the pike, they had been injected with a cocktail of five polychlorinated biphenyls, four polychlorinated naphthalenes, and three polybrominated diphenyl ethers, dissolved in rainbow trout lipid. The reported uptake efficiencies (E) were in the range 35 to 90% and differ in some respect from earlier studies. The E-values for those substances with effective cross sections (ECS) >9.5 {angstrom} were considerably higher than expected if the membrane permeation at dietary uptake wasmore »« less

Laser desorption and ionization of solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in air with analysis by ion mobility spectrometry

Journal Article Eiceman, G.A. ; Anderson, G.K. ; Danen, W.C. ; ... - Anal. Lett.; (United States)

Solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with 4-7 rings on metal, glass, ceramic, and plastic substrates were desorbed and ionized in air with a quadrupled Nd-YAG laser. Gaseous product ions were analyzed at ambient conditions in air directly using ion mobility spectrometry. Ablation rates for perylene on borosilicate glass were estimated as 0.01 ng/mm/sup 2/ per pulse and standard deviation for peak heights with roughly 1 ..mu..g/mm/sup 2/ was 34%. Substrate interference was avoided by using an unfocused laser beam at 0.5-1 mJ/pulse although gaseous ions also could be generated from substrates with a focused beam at 1 mJ/pulse.

Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heteroatom-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and n-alkanes from polyurethane foam sorbents

Journal Article Hawthorne, S.B. ; Krieger, M.S. ; Miller, D.J. - Anal. Chem.; (United States)

Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO/sub 2/ is a rapid alternative to liquid solvent extraction for the recovery of organic air pollutants collected on polyurethane foam (PUF) sorbent plugs. Quantitative recovery (> 95%) of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ranging from naphthalene to perylene, several heteroatom-containing PAHs, and n-alkanes ranging from C/sub 12/ to C/sub 24/ was achieved with 10-20 min extractions. Class-selective extraction of n-alkanes versus PAHs resulted from the sequential extraction of the same PUF plug at 80 and 380 atm. Directly coupled SFE with gas chromatography (SFE-GC) allowed a PUF sample to be analyzed inmore »« less

Changes in mitogen-activated protein kinase in cerebellar granule neurons by polybrominated diphenyl ethers and polychlorinated biphenyls

Journal Article Fan Chunyang ; Curriculum in Toxicology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 ; Besas, Jonathan ; ... - Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as additive flame retardants and have been detected in human blood, adipose tissue, and breast milk. Both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the effects of PBDEs are similar to the known human developmental neurotoxicants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on a molar basis. Previously, we reported that PBDE mixtures and congeners, perturbed calcium homeostasis which is critical for the development and function of the nervous system. In the present study, we tested whether environmentally relevant PBDE/PCB mixtures and congeners affected mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, which are down-stream events ofmore »« less
