Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-throughput targeted analysis technology for trace organic pollutants, and particularly to a high-throughput targeted mass spectrometry analysis method for traditional and new organic pollutants and their transformation products in atmospheric fine particulate matter. Background Technology

[0002] Air quality deterioration caused by atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the leading global public health risks, and the physicochemical properties of PM itself (such as particle size and compound composition) are closely related to its potential negative effects. Among these, fine particulate matter, namely PM... 2.5 Given its ability to penetrate the respiratory tract and its high adsorption potential for organic pollutants, PM has become an environmental medium of great concern. 2.5 The attached organic pollutants not only impact the ecological environment but also pose numerous threats to human health. Existing research indicates that some compounds can harm the respiratory, endocrine, nervous, and immune systems, and these risks typically exhibit significant spatiotemporal evolution due to the heterogeneity of organic components. However, current research on PM2.5... 2.5 Analytical methods for organic pollutants (OPCs) in the atmosphere often only screen one or a few types of compounds, resulting in large experimental workloads and low efficiency. This makes it difficult for current research to conduct a comprehensive and systematic assessment of OPCs present in representative regional atmospheres. Even studies that cover several types of OPCs are generally conducted in batches, leading to increased time costs, reduced comparability of results, and high demands for experimental consumables. Furthermore, previous analytical methods are mostly geared towards traditional persistent organic pollutants, and are not suitable for monitoring PM2.5. 2.5 Methods for identifying and addressing the residues of emerging pollutants remain very scarce. On the other hand, unlike persistent organic pollutants (POPs), some emerging pollutants themselves have short environmental half-lives, but their transformation products typically exhibit high environmental persistence, and the resulting eco-health effects are becoming increasingly prominent. Considering the current domestic and international efforts to address PM2.5... 2.5 Research on high-throughput analytical methodologies for new pollutants is still very limited and fragmented, which seriously hinders relevant departments from promptly refining and formulating control standards and measures for new pollutants in the atmosphere. Therefore, it is urgent to characterize the occurrence characteristics and potential public health risks of organic components (especially new pollutants and their transformation products) that are produced in large quantities, used in large quantities, widely distributed, and have potential toxicity in the atmospheric environment.

[0126] The data processing module is used to integrate gas phase analysis data and liquid phase analysis data, perform quality control verification on pollutant concentration, recovery rate, method detection limit and matrix effect, and output the screening results of traditional and new organic pollutants and their transformation products.

[0127] Furthermore, the high-purity chemical standards involved in this embodiment were purchased from Anpu (Shanghai, China), AccuStandard (Connecticut, USA), TCI (Shanghai, China), TRC (Ontario, Canada), Cambridge Isotope (Massachusetts, USA), Wellington (Ontario, Canada), CNW (Shanghai, China), Chiron (Trondheim, Norway), CATO (Guangzhou, China), Dr. Ehrenstorfer (Augsburg, Germany), and CDNIsotopes (Quebec, Canada).

[0128] This embodiment is simple to operate and optimizes PM. 2.5 The sample pretreatment process and instrument analysis parameters enable efficient trace determination of over 600 novel and traditional organic pollutants and their transformation products in atmospheric particulate matter, with method detection limits for each target analyte reaching pg / m³. 3 This method, at the higher level, facilitates a broad-spectrum analysis of atmospheric pollution, providing more comprehensive data support for formulating more detailed atmospheric environmental control standards and measures. Existing methods suffer from high time costs, resource waste, and reduced comparability of results due to differences in experimental reagents, operators, and instrument conditions. In contrast, this invention offers advantages such as high throughput, short processing time, low cost, and strong comparability of results, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0129] The following details the specific parameters.

[0130] Example 1: Shanghai PM 2.5 Determination of traditional and new organic pollutants in samples

[0131] 1. Reagents and Materials

[0132] A total of 654 target analytes were analyzed, which can be divided into more than twenty categories based on their molecular structure or application purpose. These include OCPs, PAHs, APAHs, XPAHs, NPAHs, OPAHs, PAEs, PCBs, LBFRs, AALs, SAOs, ABFRs, BPAAs, DECs, PAEAs, PHCZs, OPEs, UVAs, LCMs, SXs, BPMAs, and some of the transformation products (TPs) of the above compounds. In addition, 64 isotopically labeled target analytes were used as substitute standards (32 for gas chromatography and 32 for liquid chromatography), and 24 isotopically labeled target analytes were used as internal standards (11 for gas chromatography and 13 for liquid chromatography). Detailed information on the target analytes, substitute standards, and internal standards is shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0133] 2. Sample Collection

[0134] PM2.5 concentration in Minhang District, Shanghai, between October 2023 and May 2025 2.5 Samples were captured using a high-flow-rate active atmospheric sampler (TE-5070-BLX, Tisch Environmental, Ohio, USA), with each sample taken at a flow rate of 1.0–1.3 m. 3 Collect samples at a flow rate of / min for 24 hours, and record the differential pressure at the start and end of sampling. After sampling, wrap the filter membrane with aluminum foil and store it in a -20°C freezer before analysis. For field blank collection, place a blank filter membrane in a non-operating sampler and recover the membrane after 24 hours.

[0135] 3. Sample pretreatment and instrumental analysis

[0136] 3.1 Target analytes for gas phase analysis

[0137] The pre-weighed material is used to capture PM. 2.5 A quarter of the sample filter membrane was cut and placed in a 20 mL glass tube. 25 ng of a substitute standard was added, followed by the addition of a hexane:dichloromethane (1:1, volume ratio) mixture to completely submerge the filter membrane. The mixture was sonicated in a water bath for 15 min, and then the extract was transferred. This process was repeated three times. The combined extracts were concentrated to 200–300 μL by nitrogen blowing and transferred to a 2 mL vial lined with an inner tube. The vial was then refrigerated. 25 ng of an internal standard was added before instrumental analysis for compound quantification.

[0138] The analytical instrument used was a gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (GCMS-TQ8040 NX; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The gas chromatograph was equipped with an Rxi-5Sil MS column (length: 30.0 m, inner diameter: 0.25 mm ID, film thickness: 0.25 μm; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The column oven temperature was initially set at 40 °C for 1 minute, then increased to 150 °C for 1 minute, then increased to 300 °C for 8 minutes, and then increased to 320 °C for 15 minutes. The ion source and interface temperatures were 230 °C and 300 °C, respectively; the solvent delay time was 3 min. Target ion acquisition was achieved using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in electron collision ionization (EI) mode.

[0139] 3.2 Target analytes for liquid chromatography analysis

[0140] The pre-weighed material is used to capture PM. 2.5 A quarter of the sample filter membrane was cut and placed in a 20 mL glass test tube. 25 ng of a standard was added, followed by the addition of a 1:1 (v / v) mixture of methanol and acetonitrile to completely submerge the filter membrane. The mixture was sonicated in a water bath for 15 min, and then the extract was transferred. This process was repeated three times. The combined extract was concentrated to 1 mL by nitrogen blowing and then transferred to a solid-phase extraction column (ODS C) activated with 6 mL of methanol. 18 The target compound was eluted in a packing material and eluted with 6 mL of methanol. The eluent was then purged with nitrogen to 200–300 μL and transferred to a centrifugal filter membrane (PTFE filter element; 0.2 μm pore size) for filtration. The filtrate was then transferred to a 2 mL vial with an inner liner and stored frozen. 25 ng of internal standard was added before instrumental analysis for compound quantification.

[0141] The analytical instrument used was an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (LCMS-8060 NX; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). Different ionization modes (ESI) were selected based on the molecular weight and polarity characteristics of the target analytes. + / ESI - AcquityBEH C 18A column (length: 50 mm, inner diameter: 2.1 mm, packing thickness: 1.7 μm; Waters, Milford, MA) was used to separate the analytes. The mobile phase was 0.1% acetic acid + 2 mm ammonium acetate (A) and acetonitrile (B), with a constant flow rate of 0.4 mL / min. Initially, B% was 10% and held for 0.5 min, then increased to 98% over 14 min and held for 8 min, before returning to the initial mobile phase ratio. The mass spectrometer end interface temperature, desolvation temperature, and heating block temperature were 300ºC, 525ºC, and 400ºC, respectively. The nebulizer and heating gas / drying gas flow rates were set to 3 L / min, 10 L / min, and 10 L / min, respectively. Target ion acquisition was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode.

[0142] 4. Quality Assurance and Quality Control

[0143] To ensure the reliability of experimental data, a process blank and a matrix-spiked sample were analyzed simultaneously for each batch of 8-10 samples. This was done to track potential contamination introduced during the experimental process and to assess the extraction and purification efficiency of the analytical steps, thereby calculating the detection limit of the method used. The recoveries of over 96% of the target analytes, after correction with substituted standards, were between 70% and 130%. The matrix effects for gas chromatography and liquid chromatography ranged from 77-129% and 71-119%, respectively, with method detection limits ranging from 0.16 to 3.98 pg / m³. 3 and 0.01 – 6.51 pg / m 3 level.

[0144] 5. Results Analysis

[0145] As shown in Table 3, the PM2.5 concentration in Shanghai's atmosphere... 2.5 The sample contained all the analytical target types covered by this patent, especially PAHs, APAHs, and OPEs, with over 30 homologues detected. Furthermore, the residual levels of SAOs, UVAs, PAEs, and their alternatives (i.e., PAEAs) were also quite significant. These substances are primarily derived from industrial and transportation emissions, highlighting the environmental impact caused by the increased intensity of human activities resulting from Shanghai's urbanization process. Meanwhile, compared to traditional pollutants (such as OCPs, PCBs, and LBFRs), emerging pollutants and their transformation products have a greater impact on PM2.5 levels. 2.5 The more frequent detection in the samples indicates that new pollutants have accumulated significantly in urban environmental media in recent years and have caused secondary pollution as atmospheric transformation processes occur.

[0148] Example 2: Beijing PM 2.5 Quantitative analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives in samples

[0149] 1. Reagents and Materials

[0150] The targeted screening analytes cover five classes of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, including PAHs, APAHs, XPAHs, NPAHs, and OPAHs, totaling 138 homologues. Detailed information on the target analytes, corresponding substitutes, and internal standards is shown in Table 1.

[0151] 2. Sample Collection

[0152] The sampling site was located in Haidian District, Beijing. From January 2024 to January 2025, atmospheric PM2.5 was collected using the same sampling procedure as in Example 1. 2.5 sample.

[0153] 3. Sample pretreatment and instrumental analysis

[0154] The sample extraction steps and gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry parameters are the same as those in Example 1 for gas chromatography analysis of target analytes (including PAHs and their derivatives).

[0155] 4. Quality Assurance and Quality Control

[0156] The quality control standards and experimental procedures were the same as in Example 1. The recoveries of all target analytes, after correction for substitutes, ranged from 72% to 118%, with matrix effects ranging from 77% to 127%, and the method detection limits were between 0.19 pg / m³. 3 Up to 3.67 pg / m 3 between.

[0157] 5. Results Analysis

[0158] Figure 1 Five types of target objects were showcased in Beijing PM 2.5 The concentrations in the sample (denoted by "∑"), with median concentrations of ∑PAHs and ∑OPAHs reaching 4200 and 1920 pg / m³, respectively. 3 It is higher than ∑APAHs (median: 933 pg / m³). 3 ) and ∑NPAHs (225pg / m 3 The residual level of ∑XPAHs was on the order of magnitude greater than that of 29.3 pg / m³. 3 The relative lowest concentration was observed. Homologues constituted a significant proportion of the composition, with median concentrations exceeding 150 pg / m³. 3The compounds include four OPAHs (1,8-NANH, 1,2-ACNQ, BANTone, BANTdione), 11 PAHs (BbF, BjF, BghiP, BeP, BaP, CHRY, BkF, I123P, COR, DaeP, FLAN) and one APAH (7-MBaP).

[0159] Comparative Example 1: Comparison of Extraction Efficiency with Different Organic Solvents

[0160] The recovery rates of target substances using the extraction solvent selected in the sample pretreatment process were compared with those of commonly used extraction solvents.

[0161] The extraction solvents used in this comparative example were: a 1:1 mixture of n-hexane and dichloromethane (volume ratio) for gas chromatography analysis of the target analytes; and a 1:1 mixture of methanol and acetonitrile (volume ratio) for liquid chromatography analysis of the target analytes.

[0162] Other commonly used extraction solvents for gas phase analysis target analytes include n-hexane, dichloromethane, dichloromethane:acetone mixed solution (1:1, volume ratio), and acetone; other commonly used extraction solvents for liquid phase analysis target analytes include acetone, acetone:methanol mixed solution (1:1, volume ratio), methanol, and acetonitrile.

[0163] Using the solvents mentioned above, PM labeled with the target substances covered by this patent (see Tables 1 and 2) was extracted by water bath ultrasonication. 2.5 For the filtered membrane samples, the ultrasonication process was repeated three times, and the extracts were combined. The concentrated extract was then transferred to a vial and quantitatively analyzed using a gas chromatography-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS-TQ8040 NX and LCMS-8060 NX; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The extraction efficiencies of different extraction solvents were compared to select the optimal extraction reagent.

[0164] Gas phase analysis results of target analyte recovery with different extraction solvents are as follows: Figure ② As shown, the hexane:dichloromethane mixed solution (1:1, volume ratio) used in this comparative example had the best extraction effect; at the same time, if the recovery rate of the target analytes is corrected with a suitable substituted standard (see Table 1), the recovery rate of approximately 97% of the target analytes after substituted standard correction can be between 70% and 130%.

[0165] In the selection of liquid phase extraction solvents, the methanol:acetonitrile mixed solution (1:1, volume ratio) and pure methanol used in this comparative example showed the highest extraction efficiency; however, considering that the nitrogen blowing time required for pure methanol was too long, we chose the methanol-acetonitrile mixture; Figure 3 As shown, the target substance recovery rate of 95% can be between 70% and 130% after being corrected for with appropriate substitutes (see Table 2).

[0166] In summary, under the premise of unified operating standards, the extraction solvent selected in this comparative example has a higher extraction efficiency for more than 600 target organic pollutants than other commonly used organic solvents.

[0167] Comparative Example 2: Comparison of Results from Different Solid Phase Extraction Column Packing Materials

[0168] Since solid-phase extraction columns, namely silica gel columns, Florisil columns, and amino-bonded silica gel columns, are commonly used for gas phase analysis, the packing material contains the target compounds covered by this patent, resulting in excessively high process blank residue. Therefore, solid-phase extraction columns are not used for purification during the gas phase analysis sample pretreatment process.

[0169] The solid-phase extraction column used for the target analyte in this comparative example was: ODS C. 18 Solid phase extraction column.

[0170] Other commonly used solid-phase extraction columns for liquid chromatography analysis target analytes include: N-propylethylenediamine (PSA) solid-phase extraction column and graphitized carbon black (Envi-Carb) solid-phase extraction column.

[0171] The methanol solutions containing the target analytes for liquid chromatography were purified by passing them through the pre-activated methanol solid-phase extraction columns described above. After sample loading, elution was performed with methanol, and the eluent was concentrated before analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS-8060 NX; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The recoveries of the target analytes on each solid-phase extraction column are shown below. Figure 4 It should be noted that there may be an error in the tag where "图2" is translated as "Figure ②" in the provided translation. It should probably be "Figure 2". You may want to double - check and correct it if necessary. As shown, the ODS C selected in this comparative example 18 The column performed significantly better than the other two solid-phase extraction columns. Furthermore, after correction with appropriate standard substitutes, the recoveries of approximately 97% of the target analytes remained between 70% and 130%. Therefore, under the premise of uniform operating standards, the solid-phase extraction column selected in this comparative example is superior to other commonly used solid-phase extraction packing materials.
