“…To achieve enhanced sensitivity and selectivity, the phenols have been derivatized to alkyl or acyl derivatives before GC-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] We have developed a sensitive method for measuring BPA, 4-tert-octylphenol (tOP), benzophenone-3 (BP-3), and five chlorophenols [2,4-dichlorophenol(24-DCP), 2,5-dichlorophenol (25-DCP), 2,45,-trichlorophenol (245-TCP), 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (246-TCP) and triclosan]. The method uses solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled on-line to HPLC and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).…”
