“…Nowadays, GC–MS is the technique of choice for the analysis of nonpolar pollutants, such as PBDEs , using triple quadrupole or ion trap analyzers, although LC coupled to triple quadrupole or Orbitrap MS can also be used, but LOQs range from 0.2 to 3.3 ng/L, except for BDE 47 (20.3 ng/L) .…”

The analysis of brominated flame retardants, such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), has received increased interest because of their toxicity and ubiquity. According to European Union Directive 2008/105/EC, the development of highly sensitive and selective methods capable of determining PBDEs at low concentration levels (<0.5 ng/L) is necessary. In this work, an SPE method was developed for the analysis of the six PBDEs (BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-153, BDE-154) specified by the aforementioned directive in surface waters. The analyses were performed by GC coupled to magnetic sector high-resolution MS. The conditions were also optimized to detect the target compounds in water samples at concentrations below the environmental quality standards established by European legislation. The validated method provided adequate linearity (determination coefficient, R(2) ≥ 0.9960), recovery (101-120%, except for BDE-47 at 5 ng/L, 127%), and precision values (RSD < 20%) at two fortification levels (0.2 and 5 ng/L). The method showed LODs and LOQs ranging from 0.02 to 0.05 and from 0.05 to 0.1 ng/L, respectively. The method was applied in surface water samples, allowing the determination of these compounds at the limits established by current legislation.

“…Carbograph-1 cartridge showed recoveries >70% with good repeatability [27,28]. Meanwhile, the combination of LC-C18 cartridges with LC-Si SPE cartridges for the extraction of TBBPA and less-brominated BPA from sewage sludge led to recoveries ranging from 75% to 105% [29].…”

“…The most popular extractive solvents are hexane, isooctane, and tert-butyl ether [132]. However, this technique is often replaced by solid-phase extraction [131, 166].…”

“…BDEs were poorly retained by solid-phase extraction (SPE) from river water and sewage treatment plant effluent; thus, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) with n-hexane should be used for these samples. The recoveries of TBBP-A and PBDEs from tap water (SPE), river water, and industrial wastewater (LLE) were in the range of 81–88%, 78–92%, and 43–99%, respectively, with relative standard deviations less than 17% and LOQs of 0.2–3.3 ng·L −1 , except for one compound [132]. …”

Endocrine-disruptor compounds (EDCs) can mimic natural hormones and produce adverse effects in the endocrine functions by interacting with estrogen receptors. EDCs include both natural and synthetic chemicals, such as hormones, personal care products, surfactants, and flame retardants, among others. EDCs are characterised by their ubiquitous presence at trace-level concentrations and their wide diversity. Since the discovery of the adverse effects of these pollutants on wildlife and human health, analytical methods have been developed for their qualitative and quantitative determination. In particular, mass-based analytical methods show excellent sensitivity and precision for their quantification. This paper reviews recently published analytical methodologies for the sample preparation and for the determination of these compounds in different environmental and biological matrices by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The various sample preparation techniques are compared and discussed. In addition, recent developments and advances in this field are presented.
