Persistent and mobile organic compounds (PMOCs) are highly soluble in water, thereby posing a threat to water resource quality. Currently, there are no methods that can accurately quantify guanidine derivative PMOCs, other than 1,3-diphenylguanidine (DPG) and cyanoguanidine (CG), in aqueous media. In this study, we developed a quantitation method that combines solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry to detect seven guanidine derivatives in aquatic environments and applied it to environmental water samples. Five LC columns were examined, and among them, a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography column was chosen owing to its suitable instrument detection limit and retention factor. Method precision was assessed using seven replicate analyses of river water. The corresponding analyte recoveries ranged from 73 to 137% (coefficient of variation = 2.1–5.8%). DPG and CG were detected in ultrapure water samples at levels up to 0.69 and 150 ng L−1, respectively; DPG and CG levels up to 44 and 2600 ng L−1, respectively, were detected in lake water, river water, sewage effluent, and tap water sampled in Western Japan. This is the first reported detection of DPG in the surface water of Japan, revealing that DPG and CG are ubiquitous compounds in aquatic environments. Moreover, this is the first study to detect 1-(o-tolyl)biguanide and N,N′′′-1,6-hexanediylbis(N′-cyanoguanidine) in water. This study provides a foundation for further research on the distribution, fate, and emission source of these pollutants, which is critical to maintain high water quality and to determine regulatory limits for these pollutants.

“…The polarity and persistence of alkaloids make them compatible with persistent and mobile organic compounds (PMOCs). PMOCs are emerging contaminants that are rarely detected in the environment due to the lack of available analytical techniques 27 . PMOCs include surfactants, polar industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals and personal care products 28 , 29 .…”

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are persistent mutagenic and carcinogenic compounds produced by many common plant species. Health authorities recommend minimising human exposure via food and medicinal products to ensure consumer health and safety. However, there is little awareness that PAs can contaminate water resources. Therefore, no regulations exist to limit PAs in drinking water. This study measured a PA base concentration of ~ 70 ng/L in stream water adjacent to an invasive PA-producing plant Petasites hybridus (Asteraceae). After intense rain the PA concentration increased tenfold. In addition, PAs measured up to 230 ng/L in seepage water from groundwater wells. The dominant PAs in both water types corresponded to the most abundant PAs in the plants (senkirkine, senecionine, senecionine N-oxide). The study presents the first discovery of persistent plant toxins in well water and their associated risks. In addition, it for the first time reports monocrotaline and monocrotaline N-oxide in Petasites sp.

This review examines the environmental occurrence and fate of aromatic amines (AAs), a group of environmental contaminants with possible carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. AAs are known to be partially responsible for the genotoxic traits of industrial wastewater (WW), and AA antioxidants are acutely toxic to some aquatic organisms. Still, there are gaps in the available data on sources, occurrence, transport, and fate in domestic WW and indoor environments, which complicate the prevention of adverse effects in aquatic ecosystems. We review key domestic sources of these compounds, including cigarette smoke and grilled protein-rich foods, and their presence indoors and in aquatic matrices. This provides a basis to evaluate the importance of nonindustrial sources to the overall environmental burden of AAs. Appropriate sampling techniques for AAs are described, including copper-phthalocyanine trisulfonate materials, XAD resins in solid-phase extraction, and solid-phase microextraction methods, which can offer insights into AA sources, transport, and fate. Further discussion is provided on potential progress in the research of AAs and their behavior in an aim to support the development of a more comprehensive understanding of their effects and potential environmental risks.
