RESUMEN
The present study investigates the analytical potential of low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy for the analysis of seven phenanthrothiophenes with molecular mass 234 g mol-1. The studied PASHs include Phenanthro [1,2-b]thiophene, Phenanthro [2,1-b]thiophene, Phenanthro [2,3-b]thiophene, Phenanthro [3,2-b]thiophene, Phenanthro [3,4-b]thiophene, Phenanthro [4,3-b]thiophene and Phenanthro [9,10-b]thiophene. Excitation and emission spectra recorded from n-alkane solutions at room temperature, 77 K and 4.2 K show phosphorescence emission from all the studied isomers at cryogenic temperatures. The analytical figures of merit obtained under steady state (fluorescence) and time-resolved (phosphorescence) conditions provide limits of detection at the parts-per-billion (ng mL-1) concentration levels. Processing 77 K and 4.2 K phosphorescence data with parallel factor analysis showed to be a robust approach to the determination of phenanthro-thiophenes in complex fluorophore mixtures.
RESUMEN
In this study, a novel method combining dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and fast liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the extraction and determination of bisphenol A (BPA) and six bisphenol analogues, namely bisphenol S (BPS), bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol P (BPP), bisphenol Z (BPZ), bisphenol AP (BPAP) and bisphenol AF (BPAF) in human urine samples. Type and volume of extraction and disperser solvents, pH sample, ionic strength, and agitation were evaluated. The matrix-matched calibration curves of all analytes were linear with correlation coefficients higher than 0.99 in the range level of 0.5-20.0ngmL(-1). The relative standard deviation (RSD), precision, at three concentrations (1.0, 8.0 and 15.0ngmL(-1)) was lower than 15% with accuracy ranging from 90 to 112%. The biomonitoring capability of the new method was confirmed with the analysis of 50 human urine samples randomly collected from Brazilians. BPA was detected in 92% of the analyzed samples at concentrations ranging Asunto(s)
