Dialysis with a Semipermeable Membrane – a New Sample-preparation Technique for Determination of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers in Fatty Matrices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dialysis with a low-density polyethylene semipermeable membrane (SPM) is an efficient means of removal of lipids in the determination of bioaccumulative, persistent, halogenated organic compounds. In this study an SPM was used for preconcentration of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) from food samples. The method is useful for determination of PBDE and other halogenated persistent organic pollutants in fatty food samples. In this work chocolate, butter, chicken eggs, pork, and salmon fat were analyzed. Lipid carry-over values (%LC) are reported and recovery of the analytes for the whole procedure was determined by fortifying fish fat with six natural PBDE internal standards which were normally present in the sample at levels below the limit of detection.

A reliable analytical method was developed here for the simultaneous separation, identification and quantification of ten polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), nine methoxylated PBDEs (MeO-PBDEs) and ten hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs) in various environmental matrices, including water, soil, sediment, plant, mollusk and fish. PBDEs and MeO-PBDEs were measured by gas chromatography coupled with...

Introduction Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are globally distributed in the environment. They have been used as flame retardants for over 2 decades [1]. PBDEs have been found to bioaccumulate and there is also a concern about the health effects of PBDE exposure due to their potential endocrine disrupting properties. PBDEs are structurally similar to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and ...

A previous application note presented results for analysis of the polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in polymers using the 5973N inert MSD [1]. Mass spectra were presented and interpreted for all of the important PBDEs. The new 5975 inert MSD provides many new features and improvements with expanded mass range to 1050 u being but one. This note presents the full spectra of the octa-, nona a...
