“…A 2017 study using comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and the Fukui index to predict molecular structures showed that chlorination of carbazole can occur during the disinfection of drinking water 15 . In later research, 36‐dichlorocarbazole (36‐CCZ) and 3,6‐dibromocarbazole (36‐BCZ) were found to be the most abundant congeners in drinking water after simulated halogenation 16 . A 2021 study on the occurrence of PHCZs in drinking water from Wuhan, China, reported that the total concentration of PHCZs reached up to 53.48 ng/g 17 .…”

Rationale Polyhalogenated carbazoles (PHCZs) are dioxin‐like compounds that are ubiquitous in the environment. However, their unintentional emissions from industrial sources have received little attention and there is no method available for determination of PHCZs in industrial waste. This research develops a method for determination of PHCZs in industrial waste. Methods In this research, a glass column packed with activated silica serves as a rapid and efficient clean‐up pretreatment for purification. An isotope dilution gas chromatography/triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry method was established for simultaneous determination of eleven PHCZs in industrial samples. Results The regression coefficients of the standard curves for the congeners were all >0.99. The method detection limit ranged from 1.46 to 3.82 ng/mL for liquid samples and from 0.009 to 0.021 ng/g for solid samples. The precision described by the relative standard deviation ranged from 2.4% to 18.4% for liquid samples and from 5.5% to 35.8% for solid samples. The recovery ranges for the liquid and solid samples were 82%–123% and 83%–137%, respectively. 3‐Chlorocarbazole (3‐CCZ) and 36‐dichlorocarbazole (36‐CCZ) can be detected in both chemical bottom liquid from vinyl chloride production and fly ash from medical waste incineration by this method. Conclusions An efficient method is established for determination of PHCZs from industrial waste. The discovery of 3‐CCZ and 36‐CCZ highlights the importance of identification of potential industrial sources of PHCZs and clarification of their contribution to environmental risks. Our method could be applied to investigate industrial emission of PHCZs.

“…The LODs, based on signal-to-noise ratio of three (S/N = 3), were in the range 0.018−0.12 ng/L. These LODs are comparable to LLE GC-MS [19,27], but superior to those obtained with SPE GC-MS using Poly-sery PSD (500 mg, 6 mL) [28,29]. EF can be defined as the ratio of the equilibrium concentration of analytes in organic phase to the original concentration of analytes in the aqueous phase, with EPs values of 8715−11,247 in this study.…”

“…As the concentrations of these compounds are mostly in the range of pg/L-ng/L, analytes in environmental water need to be extracted, purified, and concentrated prior to instrumental analysis. To the best of our knowledge, there are only a few methods that have been developed to analyze PHCZs in environmental waters [19,[27][28][29]. Liquidliquid extraction (LLE) [19,27,28] and solid phase extraction (SPE) [28,29] are still nowadays the most common technique.…”

“…LLE and SPE are generally effective, but have some drawbacks. For example, they require a large volume of the aqueous sample for enriching the analytes (up to 5 L), which is time consuming [19,[27][28][29]. LLE is laborious, and high-purity solvent consuming.…”

Polyhalogenated carbazoles, a class of emerging contaminants with persistence and dioxin-like toxicity, have received increasing attention in recent years. In this study, a simple, rapid, sensitive, and high throughput method based on solidphase disk extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was described for the determination of polyhalogenated carbazoles in low nanogram-per-liter range in water samples. The proposed solid-phase disk extraction method was initially optimized, and the optimum experimental conditions found were 1 L water sample (pH 6-9) extracted and enriched by Empore 3-stn octadecyl disk at flow rate of 5 to 50 mL/min and eluted by 5 mL of acetone and 3 × 10 mL methylene dichloride. The linearity of the method ranged from 0.2 to 50 ng/L for carbazole and 11 polyhalogenated carbazoles, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.9951 to 0.9996. The limits of detection were in the low nanogram per liter level, ranging from 0.018 to 0.12 ng/L. Finally, the optimized method was applied for determining trace levels of carbazole and 11 polyhalogenated carbazoles in tap water and seawater samples with good recovery of 86.6-112.8%. Carbazole and 3-7 polyhalogenated carbazoles were detected, and 3,6-dichlorocarbazole was the predominant congener both in tap water and seawater.
