2 Department for Environment and Energy Basel (AUE) The first out of seven Rhine monitoring stations is located near Basel, in Weil am Rhein. operated by AUE funded by the Federal Office for Environment (BAFU), Switzerland and the Ministry of the Environment, Sector Climate and Energy, Germany, Baden- Württemberg All samples from this station were analyzed by the AUE laboratory. Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 2

3 Resources for Modern Methods What do we need? LCMS-method measuring relevant targets at very low concentration ranges and detecting non-target substances How do we get there? In July 2009 a project started with the Eawag as scientific partner. 2011: approximately 300 substances were measured 2012: introduction of software EnviMass 1 (Martin Loos, Eawag) 2014: implementation of software EnviMass 2 method development took almost 4 years, primarily due to the missing software link Detection method and analysis software are critical factors for optimal use of resources. Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 3

4 Daily Analytical Strategy Using LC/MS-Orbitrap SPE (multiphase cartridges), 140 internal standards, measurements with a mass resolution of (+MS/MS-fragments) Target List (310) EnviMass Non-Target Priority Substances 50 Targets Manually integrated Semiquan. procedure Screening for relevant masses Trend detection Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 4

5 Priority Substance - obvious application periods in the spring and fall - daily measurements are important to detect violations of alarm limits and to enable estimations of chemical loads in the Rhine in this example, two days contributed 25 % of the annual Isoproturon load in 2013 Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 5

6 Priority Substance Aliskiren: originates from human usage (background level) and industrial production (peaks) dilution effects due to higher discharge can be observed Tizanidin: origin from industrial discharge was verified Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 6

7 Daily Analytical Strategy Using LC/MS-Orbitrap EnviMass Priority substances 50 Targets Target-List (310) Non-Target x calibration x semi-quantification x automated processing peak picking recalibration/alignment componentization prioritization EnviMass2 Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 7

8 Non-Target Screening: Mass (M+H + ) EnviMass2 computes a time series analysis comparing a current sample with last year s data set prioritization is based on a statistical method highlighting mass traces with increasing intensity EnviMass2 (July February 2014, including incident on ) ChemSpider search resulted in nearly 2000 suggestions for possible molecular formulas Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 8

9 Non-Target Screening: 2-Phenyl-2-(2-piperidin)acetamid The compound was identified knowing who discarded the substance and in cooperation with the company in question. 600 kg of the Ritalin reagent were discharged Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 9

10 Non-Target Screening: Mass (M-H - ) 13 C => 7 Carbon 15 N => 4 Nitrogen Mass resolution provide isotop distribution C7H2N4? mass accuracy < 2 ppm ChemSpider search resulted in only two suggestions due to the unusual elemental composition Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 10

11 Non-Target Screening: Mass (M-H - ) 13 C => 7 Carbon BW- 15 Holidays N => 4 Nitrogen taking the intensity profile and the timing of summer holidays in Switzerland and Germany into account, one potential pollution region is singled out discharging company was identified and provided the AUE laboratory with their reference standard Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 11

12 Non-Target Screening: Tetracarbonitrilpropen - nonessential by-product - not further monitored it poses a permanent pollution - concentration ranges from 0.2 µg/l to 1 µg/l - in December 2014 a load of 820 kg was estimated - Tetracarbonitrilpropen is stable Tetracarbonitrilpropen can be detected in samples from along the entire Rhine samples taken in 2013 at Maas-Luis showed nearly the same load It took 2 months from finding the unknown mass to identifying the compound. Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 12

13 Non-Target Screening: AMPS - initially, the concentration was estimated to be 150 ng/l using the internal standard Bentazon-D6 - the molecular structure was identified within one week!!! - the concentration was underestimated by 30-fold!!! Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 13

14 Non-Target Screening: AMPS - due to its polarity AMPS resides predominantly in the water phase - it cannot be completely removed by drinking water treatment detection of AMPS in drinking water It is necessary to pay special attention to polar substances! Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 14

17 Summary new LC/MS technologies greatly enhance the analytical spectrum cooperation with scientific partners is necessary a daily target-analysis of nearly 300 relevant compounds is possible observed target-loads were multiplied by factor six daily non-target screening is important, using LC/MS and GC/MS techniques LC/MS non-target screening delivers relevant compounds with high loads personal statement: the benefit of the information gain greatly outweighs the cost of the additional human resources necessary Kanton Basel-Stadt Workshop IKSR, Steffen Ruppe, Folie 17
