1 MICROORGANIC POLLUTANTS: ACTION NEEDED TO SIMPLIFY THEIR ANALYSIS Mosca S., Guerriero E., Rotatori M.
2 The analysis of PCDD/Fs, PCBs and other related compounds requires complex analytical procedures using highly sensitive and selective instrumentation to meet very stringent data quality objectives.
3 At present, methods for analyses of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs are expensive and slow. Therefore low-cost and fast methods have to be developed allowing to analyse in routinely manner a great number of samples and to provide quick, cheap, and reliable results on the presence of those compounds in the environment, feed and food
4 To speed up the time for analysis is important to many of today s GC analysts as they look for ways to improve sample throughput, without sacrificing the quality of the analysis. Benefits of increasing sample throughput include: Decreased costs: Less people and/or instruments are required to do the same amount of work. Increased profit: More samples can be processed in the same amount of time; Customers may be willing to pay more to get their results faster (surcharge for quick turnaround)

8 Sources of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in air - EU25 (5kg TEQ/year) Incinerators are no longer the main producers of dioxins due to regulatory restrictions and the subsequent compulsory technological evolution of plants (4.000 kg/year) From: European Commission. Identification, assessment and prioritisation of EU measures to reduce releases of unintentionally produced/released POPs.

13 AMBIENT AIR REFERENCE VALUES European Directive 2004/107/CE (Italian Decree 152/2007) PAHs 1 ng/m 3 of B[a]P Air quality guidelines for Europe - WHO Regional Publications, 2000 PCDD/Fs PCBs 100 fg/nm fg/m 3 indicate local sources to be identified and checked 3 pg/m 3 in non-industrial area 3000 pg/m 3 in industrial/urban area Average values Decision guidance document UNEP, 1996 HCB 300 pg/m 3
14 AMBIENT AIR STANDARD METHODS In Europe. ISO PAHs (2000) ISO PCDD/Fs and PCBs (2006) EN B[a]pyrene (2006) VDI 3498 PCDD/Fs (2008) ISO Sampling strategy for PCDD/Fs, PCBs and PAHs (2007) Common aspects: - Flow rate (15 m 3 /h) - Sampling time (24h) - Sampling system (High volume sampler equipped with a quartz fiber filter followed by an adsorbent)
15 In the U.S. AMBIENT AIR STANDARD METHODS EPA Compendium Methods TO-4A PCBs and pesticides in ambient air (1999) TO-9A PCDD/Fs in ambient air (1999) TO-13A PAHs in ambient air (1999) Common aspects: -Sampling system (High volume sampler equipped with a quartz fiber filter followed by an adsorbent) - Flow rate: 225 l/min (total sampled volume = 300 m 3 ) -Sampling time: 24h -
16 There is a lack of a standard method for simultaneous sampling of micro-organic pollutants (PAHs, PCDD/Fs and dl-pcbs). introduction of a single sampling method with increased sampling time, from 1 to 7 days, to enrich the samples and to determine different compounds simultaneously. Money saving: The method is less expensive than 24 h sampling, requires fewer samples to be treated and it permits weekly or monthly concentration trends to be obtained. Time saving: Finally, different classes of compounds can be analyzed simultaneously from only one sample.

22 GEL PERMEATION CHROMATOGRAPHY GPC is a highly effective cleanup method for removing high molecular weight interferences (i.e. lipids, polymers, proteins, natural resins, and cellular components) from sample extracts. This technique is ideal for post-extraction clean-up of pesticide residues, semi-volatiles, PAHs, PCBs, mycotoxins and antibiotic residues from animal tissue, fatty foods, plant tissue, soil, sediment, sludge and wastewater. Can GPC be suitable as a clean-up method of PCDD/Fs from environmental samples 22

25 % Recovery AVERAGE AUTOMATED CLEAN-UP RECOVERIES dl-pcbs PCDD/Fs It avoids the double analysis of dl- PCBs both in PCBs and in PCDD/Fs fraction: it means less standard solution to use and just two chromatographic runs
26 ADVANTAGES of the GPC/alumina automated purification system (1/2) Fast: in just over 1h it fully processes the sample from the extraction to the GC injection. The manual procedure, however, requires about 6h tomake the same process Time-saving: the automated system may work at night, standalone and it can processes up to 27 samples Money-saving: the GPC column is the same for hundreds of samples and the alumina microcolumn is one for each sample, whereas in the manual clean-up the operator prepares the adsorbents and then packs the column, one for each sample.
27 ADVANTAGES of the GPC/alumina automated purification system (2/2) Safer: the automated evaporation step is on-line: this allows a minor exposure of the operator to toxic solvents and is never exposed to chemical risk from agents like silica dust, acidic or AgNO 3 silica Green: it achieves the separation with a lower consumption of solvents (only DCM and Hex) Non-distructive : it is possible to analyze several classes of compounds within the considered mass range

30 Our goal: Separate and detect PCDD/Fs in the shortest amount of time possible HOW TO ACHIEVE OUR GOAL? Use different columns stationary phase type stationary phase thickness column length Use different temperature (or pressure) programs for the column Use different carrier gas (inert gas) Helium Hydrogen
31 ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION GC/MS Thermo ITQ Thermo TSQ Quantum Autospec Ultima We are comparing the performances of LowRes MS (Ion Trap and Triple Quadrupole) vs HiRes MS in POPs analysis in different matrices
32 HRMS vs MS/MS: selectivity Precursor ion: [M] +, [M+2] + and [M+4] + (Resolution > 8200) CID (Precursor ion) (Product Ion) Product ions: [M-CO 35 Cl] +, [M+2-CO 35 Cl] +, [M+2-CO 37 Cl] +, [M+4-CO 37 Cl] +
33 Low Resolution Mass Spectrometer new method for the trace-level screening of PCDD/Fs, following the analytical strategy of U.S. EPA Method 1613 using TSQ Quantum XLS triple quadrupole gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) instrument Using highly selective precursor ion selection and high-precision hyperbolic quadrupole technology available with the TSQ Quantum XLS, superior and uniform selectivity for screening for PCDD/Fs and PCBs at imposed MRLs in complex matrices is possible.
34 CONCLUSIONS In order to simplify POPs analysis, we suggest: SAMPLING Ambient air: simultaneous sampling, longer sampling time Industrial emission: Long-term sampling CLEAN-UP Automated clean-up (i.e. GPC+SPE based system) ANALYSIS Use of LowRes MS Use of a versatile GC column
