“…Compared with GC-ECD, GC-MS is more accurate. GC-MS can get the characteristic ions of PCBs and the abundance information of chlorine atoms, thus providing more reliable data (Barro et al, 2009). Also, GC-MS can be divided into high-resolution (HR) GC-low-resolution (LR) MS and HRGC-HRMS, and the sensitivity and accuracy of HRGC-HRMS are both higher than for HRGC-LRMS.…”

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were widely used in industrial production due to the unique physical and chemical properties. As a kind of persistent organic pollutants, the PCBs would lead to environment pollution and cause serious problems for human health. Thus, they have been banned since the 1980s due to the environment pollution in the past years. Indoor air is the most direct and important environment medium to human beings; thus, the PCBs pollution research in indoor air is important for the protection of human health. This paper introduces the industrial application and potential harm of PCBs, summarizes the sampling, extracting, and analytical methods of environment monitoring, and compares the indoor air levels of urban areas with those of industrial areas in different countries according to various reports. This paper can provide a basic summary for PCBs pollution control in the indoor air environment.

“…Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of over 100 individual compounds containing two or more fused aromatic rings (Barro et al, 2009). PAHs are mainly produced from incomplete combustion/pyrolysis of organic matter, existing in the environment through natural and anthropogenic activities (Purcaro et al, 2013).…”

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau plays an important role in the ecological safety and human health of the surroundings due to its unique geographical position and function. Therefore, it is necessary to study the pollution status and potential risk in this area. This study summarizes the distribution of different organic pollutants in biota and environmental media of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Moreover, it also pays attention to the potential health risks of these organic pollutants. Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were the most frequently detected in different matrices. In general, the carcinogenic risks of organic pollutants were ranked in the verylow to moderate range for both children and adults. The carcinogenic risks of organic pollutants in fish, food, and water for children were 1-2 times higher than those for adults, while risks of organic pollutants in soil/sediment and in air for children were generally 10.6-16.5 and 2.6-2.8 times higher than those for adults, respectively. The maximal hazard quotient for non-carcinogenic risk was 0.95 (potential risk for children posed by organic pollutants in yak milk of Ruoergai), almost reaching an unacceptable level. Therefore, the potential health risks could not be neglected, especially for children who were more likely to be affected by the pollutants.

“…Especially, a column packed with octadecylsilyl groups bonded silica (C18 column) is mostly employed due to the appropriate hydrophobicity [5,6]. On the other hand, the separation of highly hydrophobic hydrocarbons, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and poly halogenated aromatic compounds in oil matrix, is still difficult for quantitative determination because the complicated pretreatment is required before authentic reversed phase separations [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Therefore, an achievement of the direct separation of oil-based samples without any complicated pretreatments is preferred.…”

C<sub>60</sub>-Fullerene Bonded Silica Monolithic Capillary for Specific Separations of Aromatic Compounds

et al. 2015

A simple preparation method for C 60 -fullerene bonded silica monolithic capillary by thermal coupling with a specific agent is reported. A silica monolithic capillary was modified with aminopropyl silane by a typical modification method, and then a thermal coupling agent, perfluorophenyl azide (PFPA) was covalently reacted with the amino groups. After C 60 -fullerene was covered over the PFPA-monolith at high density, thermal reaction was carried out at 170 C for 5 h, resulting C 60 -fullerene bonded silica monolith. We qualitatively confirmed all the modification process by elemental analysis and FT-IR, which showed the accomplishment of the all the reactions. According to liquid chromatographic evaluations, C 60 -fullerene bonded silica monolithic capillary provided the specific separation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by an effective π−π interaction based on the bonded C 60 -fullerene. Even if we used non-polar solvent, n-hexane, as a mobile phase, the effective base-line separation of PAHs was achieved. Additionally, the capillary allowed the separation of aromatic couples, including benzene/anisole, dibenzosuberone/dibenzosuberenone, and chrysene/triphenylene, which have slightly structural differences, depending on the density of π electrons in these compounds.
