The invention relates to a method for measuring phthalic ester in atmospheric
particulates, belonging to the field of analysis of
trace pollutants in the environment. The method uses a
quartz filter membrane to collect
particulates, takes
dichloromethane as extracting solution, uses an ultrasonic extraction method for extraction, carries out
nitrogen-blowing concentration and finally uses a
gas chromatography and
tandem mass spectrometry (GC / MS) for analysis and measurement, thus accurately and fast analyzing the phthalic ester in the atmospheric
particulates. The specific sampling and analysis measuring method comprises the following steps: after being baked at high temperature and weighted in a balanced manner, the
quartz filter membrane is sampled for 12-48 hours, the sampled and weighted filter membrane is
cut into shreds which are placed into a centrifugal tube, 5-30mL of
dichloromethane is added, ultrasonic extraction is carried out for 10-30 minutes, the extracting solution is filtered and collected, all the steps are repeated for one time, the extracting solutions are combined and become 3-6mL in concentration by
nitrogen blowing, the combined solution is transferred into a concentrating tube for continuously blowing to be below 2mL, an internal
label is added, the obtained solution is constant in volume by
dichloromethane and is transferred into an automatic sampling
bottle, and finally accurate measurement is carried out by using debugged GC / MS. The developed measuring method is simple and fast and has the characteristics of high
recovery ratio, low
detection limit, high sensitivity, matrix disturbance resistance and the like.
