Analysis of Polybrominated Dephenyl Ether Flame Retardants by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), commonly used flame retardants, are under scrutiny as a result of their global presence and rapid bioaccumulation. Legislative and commercial groups have initiated programs to reduce or eliminate specific PBDE congeners as a result of their potential health threat. This application note will demonstrate a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis of common PBDE congeners. An optimized method and column will allow the PerkinElmer® Clarus® GC to provide ample separation and high yields of PBDE congeners. The extended mass range of the PerkinElmer Clarus MS and high mass calibration will produce mass spectra with very high levels of accuracy.

Gas chromatography retention data of environmentally relevant polybrominated compounds.
Polybrominated organic compounds are ubiquitous throughout the environment. This generic term comprises several classes of brominated flame retardants (e.g., polybrominated diphenyl ethers, polybrominated biphenyls, hexabromocyclododecane, dibromopropyltribromophenyl ether, 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane) as well as a range of marine halogenated natural products (HNPs). Here we present ga...
متن کاملAtmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry for the Analysis of Selected Emerging Brominated Flame Retardants in Foods
Emerging brominated flame retardants (eBFRs) other than polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and their derivatives in foods have been in focus in recent years due to their increasing production volumes, indefinite information on toxicities and the lack of data on occurrence in environments, foods as well as humans. In this study, gas chromatography was coupled...
متن کاملDifferent Levels of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDEs) and Chlorinated Compounds in Breast Milk from Two U.K. Regions
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) congeners are constituents of flame retardants, and there is growing concern regarding their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity. We collected breast milk samples between late 2001 and early 2003 from 54 U.K.-resident mothers. Of these, 27 originated from southeast England (London), and the other 27 originated from northwest England (Lancaster). Analy...
متن کاملA new method for determination of halogenated flame retardants in human milk using solid-phase extraction.
A method has been developed for quantitation of a selection of halogenated flame retardants in human milk. The method has been validated for seven polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), BDE-28, BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-100, BDE-153, BDE-154, and BDE-183, and the halogenated phenols 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TriBP), pentabromophenol (PeBP), tetrachlorobisphenol-A (TCBP-A), and tetrabromobisphenol-A (TBB...
متن کاملRetention-time database of 126 polybrominated diphenyl ether congeners and two bromkal technical mixtures on seven capillary gas chromatographic columns.
The elution order of 126 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) was determined for seven different gas chromatographic (GC) stationary phases. The resulting database facilitates selection of the most suitable GC columns for developing a quantitative, congener-specific BDE analysis and the testing of retention prediction algorithms based on structure relationships of GC phases and congener substi...
