“…Although the highest concentrations were recorded in the samples from January 2017, there is not a clear trend of temporal variability. In this case, UV−329 was the most frequently detected (in 8.3% of the analysed samples), appearing at all the locations and in all species at concentrations ranging from 1.34 to 10.7 ng g −1 at the three studied locations [60]. These values are in the same order of magnitude of the maximum levels found by other authors in marine fish species (up to 55 ng g −1 wet weight (ww)).…”

Nowadays, activities associated with industries, cities, and leisure generate a number of different wastes, including many chemical pollutants that enter the environment and negatively affect the wildlife. Some of them are emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), which include UV filters and stabilizers, antineoplastic agents, and natural and synthetic steroid hormones, among others. It is well demonstrated that the presence of this kind of contaminants may produce adverse effects in aquatic environments and also in marine organisms. Even though the Canary Islands (Spain) are one of the most biodiverse parts of the temperature regions of the world, little is known about the presence of these substances in the environment and organisms in the archipelago. For that purpose, the objective of this work was to evaluate the presence of some UV filters, cytostatic compounds, and hormones in water (wastewater and seawater), sediments, and marine organisms. Moreover, we evaluated conventional and natural wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to study the removal efficiencies of these target compounds. UV filters and stabilizers were found in all the analysed samples and were the only target family found in seawater (with UV-329 appearing at all the locations at concentrations between 67.5 and 859 ng L−1). Some cytostatic compounds were detected in hospital wastewater at concentrations between 375.8 and 1851 ng L−1, but not in the analysis of sludge or fish samples. Hormones were detected in wastewater, sludge, and fish samples, and their removal in the natural treatment system (over 76% for all the hormones) allowed to prove it as an efficient technology for the elimination of these EOCs from urban wastewaters in small communities.

“…Four of these were included in the 123‐compound reference mix (1‐methylnaphthalene, 2‐methylnaphthalene, naphthalene, and triethyl phosphate) and three additional compounds (2‐phenylnaphthalene, lilial, and octrizole) were confirmed after purchasing standards. Lilial is an aromatic compound used in personal care products 48,49 and octrizole is a UV stabilizer also referred to as UV‐329 50,51 . Four phthalate standards were purchased (diethyl, dibutyl, di‐ n ‐octyl, and di‐isononyl phthalate) and their fragmentation patterns matched the experimental and library spectra, although the retention times did not match.…”

Rationale Silicone wristbands have emerged as valuable passive samplers for monitoring of personal exposure to environmental contaminants in the rapidly developing field of exposomics. Once deployed, silicone wristbands collect and hold a wealth of chemical information that can be interrogated using high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to provide a broad coverage of chemical mixtures. Methods Gas chromatography coupled to Orbitrap™ mass spectrometry (GC/Orbitrap™ MS) was used to simultaneously perform suspect screening (using in‐house database) and unknown screening (using vendor databases) of extracts from wristbands worn by volunteers. The goal of this study was to optimize a workflow that allows detection of low levels of priority pollutants, with high reliability. In this regard, a data processing workflow for GC/Orbitrap™ MS was developed using a mixture of 123 environmentally relevant standards consisting of pesticides, flame retardants, organophosphate esters, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as test compounds. Results The optimized unknown screening workflow using a search index threshold of 750 resulted in positive identification of 70 analytes in validation samples, and a reduction in the number of false positives by over 50%. An average of 26 compounds with high confidence identification, 7 level 1 compounds and 19 level 2 compounds, were observed in worn wristbands. The data were further analyzed via suspect screening and retrospective suspect screening to identify an additional 36 compounds. Conclusions This study provides three important findings: (1) a clear evidence of the importance of sample cleanup in addressing complex sample matrices for unknown analysis, (2) a valuable workflow for the identification of unknown contaminants in silicone wristband samplers using electron ionization HRMS data, and (3) a novel application of GC/Orbitrap™ MS for the unknown analysis of organic contaminants that can be used in exposomics studies.

“…Microwave assisted extraction (MAE) is an extraction technique that employs a smaller amount of the sample and shorter analysis time than those of other procedures, as well as enabling the simultaneous extraction of a larger number of samples (6–16 samples). MAE has been used for the determination of different compounds in fishes: polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers [ 33 ], fluoroquinolones [ 34 ], steroid hormones [ 35 ], UV stabilizers [ 36 ] and antineoplastics [ 37 ]. This technique has also been employed for the extraction of UV filters and BUVSs in solid matrices [ 38 ], in mussels [ 15 ] and in seaweed [ 22 ].…”

Fish species can bioaccumulate different pollutants present in the marine environments and incorporate them into the trophic chain. In this work, the occurrence of organic ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers and filters in different species of fishes of high consumption has been studied. A multiresidue method based on microwave-assisted extraction and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection was developed and then it was applied to nine fish species from markets in the Canary Islands and Catalonia (Spain). Three UV filters (BP-3, OC and BM-DBM) and two stabilizers (UV-328 and UV-329) were found in some of the studied species, in concentrations ranging between 0.067 and 0.683 µg g−1 dry weight (dw). BP-3 (UV filter) was the most frequently detected compound, followed by UV-329 (UV stabilizer). Thunnus thynnus was the most heavily polluted species, with a concentration of 1.201 µg g−1 dw as the sum of all measured compounds.
