“…MEPS seems to be tailored for these requirements and has been applied in the analysis of benzene, phenol and their derivates [165], diazinon [166], La 3+ and Tb 3+ [167], organophosphorus pesticides [168] in water samples, fipronil and fluazuron residues in wastewater [169], and PAHs in the most diverse samples (see Table S3), including Antarctic snow [170], and in the detection of phthalates in tap and river water [171]. SPME is eventually one of the most used sample extraction procedures and has been applied for the detection of different pesticides in water [172] (additional examples in Table S3), microplastic in coral reef invertebrates [173], PAHs in rainwater [174], and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in wastewater [69]. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have also been employed in the extraction of polychlorinated aromatic compounds from environmental samples.…”

Green extraction techniques (GreETs) emerged in the last decade as greener and sustainable alternatives to classical sample preparation procedures aiming to improve the selectivity and sensitivity of analytical methods, simultaneously reducing the deleterious side effects of classical extraction techniques (CETs) for both the operator and the environment. The implementation of improved processes that overcome the main constraints of classical methods in terms of efficiency and ability to minimize or eliminate the use and generation of harmful substances will promote more efficient use of energy and resources in close association with the principles supporting the concept of green chemistry. The current review aims to update the state of the art of some cutting-edge GreETs developed and implemented in recent years focusing on the improvement of the main analytical features, practical aspects, and relevant applications in the biological, food, and environmental fields. Approaches to improve and accelerate the extraction efficiency and to lower solvent consumption, including sorbent-based techniques, such as solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and fabric-phase sorbent extraction (FPSE), and solvent-based techniques (μQuEChERS; micro quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), in addition to supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized solvent extraction (PSE), are highlighted.

“…Solid phase microextraction is a very sensitive sample preparation technology that does not require the use of solvents. It is based on the adsorption/sorption and desorption principle and uses a fiber coated with an extracting phase to concentrate the volatile and semi-volatile compounds present in a sample [65].…”

“…Among substances dangerous to health, phthalate esters are considered hazardous pollutants due to their reproductive effects and carcinogenicity [10,11,48,[65][66][67][68]. Generally, phthalates are odorless and colorless liquids with high boiling points from 228 to 380 • C, low volatility, low solubility in water and predominantly fat solubility.…”

A Short Review of Simple Analytical Methods for the Evaluation of PAHs and PAEs as Indoor Pollutants in House Dust Samples

et al. 2022

Studies on indoor air quality are indispensable when considering that people spend approximately 85% of their time in confined environments. This short review mostly takes into consideration research that uses passive samplers to evaluate the quality of indoor environments (houses, school, cars, etc.). This short review summarizes most analytical methods to detect and quantify PAHs and PAEs in house dust used as a passive sampler. The objective of house dust analysis is to identify the presence, amount and distribution of specific hazardous substances in confined spaces and, if possible, to identify their sources. Household dust and the compounds present in it can enter the human body by inhalation, non-food ingestion and absorption through the skin. The observed differences in concentrations of house dust may also indicate important differences in the chemical and physical nature of pollutants caused by air filtration and absorption during the migration of ambient air into the indoor environment.

“…Notably, the benzene rings enhance the toxicity of PAHs. Most PAHs in the environment are generated by incomplete combustion or high-temperature cracking, mainly by human activities, such as in the chemical industry, transportation, and waste incineration [3][4][5].…”

A rapid and sensitive strategy was proposed for fluoranthene (FL) detection, which is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in water samples. In this work, syringe SPE combined with solid‐phase fluorescence spectrometry was used to determine FL in PAHs polluted environmental samples. The fluorescent signals were directly monitored on the membrane surface after FL was enriched by syringe SPE. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed method showed a linear relationship in the concentration range of 2 – 50 μg/L with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.998, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.143 μg/L. The recoveries varied from 93.47 % to 109.81 % in the actual samples, with the relative standard deviations (n = 3) ranging from 2.06 to 6.32 %. According to the results, the established method can be applied in the field of rapid detection since it is fast, simple, portable, high sensitivity, and has strong anti‐interference.
