“…Isolating PCBs from the soil matrix is a crucial step in GC-MS. The PCB analysis has been carried out using a wide range of extraction techniques, such as chemical methods-involving soxhlet extraction [13][14][15], liquid-liquid extraction [16,17], and solid-phase extraction [18,19]-or physical ones, involving ultrasonic extraction [20], microwave-assisted extraction [21], supercritical fluid extraction [22], and pressurized fluid extraction [23].…”

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been found in soil, which has typically been the result of industrial pollution in the past two decades. Although they are banned, PCBs can still be found in soils and other environmental media. For this reason, it is critical to develop an analytical method that can reliably identify and monitor their sources. This study describes a gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique, which was used to detect PCBs in soil samples by using a fast extraction method. Using the QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method, PCBs were more effectively extracted from soil. Different related parameters, such as time of shaking and centrifuging, type of solvent, and clean-up adsorbents, were compared and optimized. As the extraction solvent, acetonitrile/water produced the best results, and as the dispersive solid-phase extraction sorbent, diatomaceous earth produced the best results. Procedures allowed recovery values between 95.3% and 103.2%. A limit of detection of 1.9 µg/kg was determined with relative standard deviations (n = 3) of 2.1–4.0% for intra-day assays and 3.6–5.8% for inter-day assays. It was demonstrated that the method was simple, sensitive, efficient, and environmentally friendly when applied to soil samples. To our knowledge, an integrated approach based on QuEChERS for the determination of Aroclor 1254 in soil has not been published before. It is believed that this approach will eliminate the significant challenge of sample extraction in GC-MS processing, which was considered to be a procedural challenge in previous analyses.

Gas chromatography–triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry: a powerful tool for the (ultra)trace analysis of multiclass environmental contaminants in fish and fish feed

et al. 2013

A new method for rapid determination of 73 target organic environmental contaminants including 18 polychlorinated biphenyls, 16 organochlorinated pesticides, 14 brominated flame retardants and 25 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in fish and fish feed using gas chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) was developed and validated. GC-MS/MS in electron ionization mode was shown to be a powerful tool for the (ultra)trace analysis of multiclass environmental contaminants in complex matrices, providing measurements with high selectivity and sensitivity. Another positive aspect characterizing the newly developed method is a substantial simplification of the sample preparation, which was achieved by an ethyl acetate QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) based extraction followed by silica minicolumn clean-up. With use of this sample preparation approach the sample laboratory throughput was increased not only because six samples may be prepared in approximately 1 h, but also because all the above-mentioned groups of contaminants can be determined in a single GC-MS/MS run. Under the optimized conditions, the recoveries of all target analytes in both matrices were within the range from 70 to 120% and the repeatabilities were 20% or less. The method quantification limits were in the range from 0.005 to 1 μg kg(-1) and from 0.05 to 10 μg kg(-1) for fish muscle tissue and fish feed, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to the determination of halogenated persistent organic pollutants and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in fish and fish feed samples.
