“…Table 4 shows no increased matrix suppression effects when comparing the Phaeozem (ME =91%)/Gleyic Acrisol (ME =88%) with the Orthic Acrisol (ME =87%)/Luvisol (ME =76%), despite their contrasting SOM contents. Similar results have been obtained by Steen et al (1999) indicating that the degree of ion suppression depends partly on the amount of co-extracted DOM, and partly on the nature of the samples. Kloepfer et al (2005) further demonstrated that the molecular weight distribution of organic material was crucial to matrix effects and this will complicate the situation.…”

“…The signal suppression by co-extracted humic acid, as indicated by a yellow color in methanol extracts, was studied by Steen et al (1999). The yellow color was also observed in soil extracts with sodium hydroxide-methanol extraction in our experiment, particularly for Phaeozem/Gleyic Acrisol soil owing to higher SOM content.…”

A solvent extraction method coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (HPLC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of soil diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) and phenylarsinic acid (PAA). Several extraction solvents were evaluated with respect to the degree of soil extract-induced matrix effects and the recovery values for DPAA and PAA in the four studied soil matrices. Validation data showed that solvent extraction had a negligible impact on the accurate quantification of DPAA. In contrast, only with disodium hydrogen phosphate extraction did the method give both limited matrix effects (102-107%) with a coefficient of variation b 3% (n = 4) and efficient recoveries (77-109%) at two spiking levels (20 and 50 mg kg −1 ) for PAA. The selection of an appropriate extractant was the approach to reduce matrix effects while guaranteeing satisfactory recoveries of soil DPAA and PAA. Chromatographic separation was completed in 37 min and the analytes were detected in positive mode using selected reaction monitoring. MS/MS operating conditions were optimized for both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) sources. Under optimal conditions the detection limit was 0.01 and 1.00 μg L −1 for DPAA and PAA. The method detection limits (MDLs) obtained ranged from 2.52 to 3.42 μg kg −1 for DPAA and from 0.23 to 0.33 mg kg −1 for PAA depending on the soil types, and the intraday and interday precision was less than 5% for both analytes at two different concentrations. The method was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of DPAA and PAA in one-month aged soils, satisfactory recoveries (N 74.03%) were obtained for both analytes. The results show that the proposed solvent extraction method coupled to HPLC-MS/MS analysis can provide accurate and reliable determinations of DPAA and PAA in soil samples.

“…Chromatographic separation is generally optimized by performing a series of preliminary experiments involving testing of mobile phase composition to determine the conditions that provide the best compromise for all target analytes (Gros et al 2006;Baugros et al 2008). Optimization of MS parameters, including cone voltage and collision energy, is performed via flow injection analysis for each compound of interest (Steen et al 1999;Gros et al 2006;Baugros et al 2008).…”

“…The limited amount of charge per droplet is often exhausted for the conversion of water matrix components to free ions and is, therefore, no longer available for the formation of free ions of the target analytes (Steen et al 1999). Signal suppression is greater as NOM concentration increases and can also be influenced by sample pH owing to its impact on the co-extraction of NOM components during the sample clean-up process (Steen et al 1999;Renew & Huang 2004). For example, Renew & Huang (2004) reported that the biggest challenge associated with analysing antibiotics in wastewater samples was that the relatively high concentration of organic matter resulted in reduced sample extraction efficiency and suppression of the signal intensity with LC-MS analysis.…”

The detection of organic micropollutants, such as endocrine-disrupting compounds, pharmaceuticals and personal care products, in wastewater and the aquatic environment has brought increasing concern over their potential adverse ecological and human impacts. These compounds are generally present at trace levels (ng l −1 ) and in complex water matrices, such as wastewaters and surface waters, making their analysis difficult. Currently, no standardized analytical methods are available for the analysis of organic micropollutants in environmental waters. Owing to the diversity of physico-chemical properties exhibited by the various classes of organic micropollutants, the majority of established analytical methods described in the literature focus on a specific class of compounds, with few methods applicable to multi-class compound analysis. As such, analytical challenges and limitations contribute to the lack of understanding of the effectiveness of drinking water and wastewater treatment processes to remove organic micropollutants. This paper provides a practical overview of current analytical methods that have been developed for the analysis of multiple classes of organic micropollutants from various water matrices and describes the challenges and limitations associated with the development of these methods.
