Method Development for the Identification of Novel Brominated Flame Retardants Using a Q Exactive HRAM Mass Spectrometer

چکیده
Sampling strategy All dust samples were taken in offices, laboratories and instrument assembly rooms of the Thermo Scientific Bremen factory site. The samples were collected according to an established protocol [4]. Shortly, in offices 1 m2 of carpet was vacuumed for 2 min and in case of bare floors 4 m2 was vacuumed for 4 min. Samples were collected using nylon sample socks (25 μm pore size) that were mounted in the furniture attachment tube of the vacuum cleaner. Prior to analysis samples were stored in sealed bags at 4 C.

Optimization and development of analytical methods for the determination of new brominated flame retardants and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in sediments and suspended particulate matter
With more stringent legislation on brominated flame retardants, it is expected that increasing amounts of substitutes would replace polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs). Therefore, the development and optimization of analytical methodologies that allow their identification and quantification are of paramount relevance. This work describes the optimization of an analytical procedure to determin...
متن کاملNon-destructive rapid analysis of brominated flame retardants in electrical and electronic equipment using Raman spectroscopy.
Using Raman spectroscopy without any preparation, we analyzed the brominated flame retardant, polybromodiphenyl ethers (PBDEs), which has been prohibited by the European Union. The typical Raman bands of PBDEs, which are clearly different from those of other brominated flame retardants, are from 100 to 300 cm(-1). In our analysis, the detection limit was about 100 ppm, and the analysis took abo...
متن کاملCharacterization of Three Tetrabromobisphenol-S Derivatives in Mollusks from Chinese Bohai Sea: A Strategy for Novel Brominated Contaminants Identification
Identification of novel brominated contaminants in the environment, especially the derivatives and byproducts of brominated flame retardants (BFRs), has become a wide concern because of their adverse effects on human health. Herein, we qualitatively and quantitatively identified three byproducts of tetrabromobisphenol-S bis(2,3-dibromopropyl ether) (TBBPS-BDBPE), including TBBPS mono(allyl ethe...
متن کاملAdvances in Instrumental Analysis of Brominated Flame Retardants: Current Status and Future Perspectives
This review aims to highlight the recent advances and methodological improvements in instrumental techniques applied for the analysis of different brominated flame retardants (BFRs). The literature search strategy was based on the recent analytical reviews published on BFRs. The main selection criteria involved the successful development and application of analytical methods for determination o...
متن کاملNovel analytical approach for brominated flame retardants based on the use of gas chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry with emphasis in highly brominated congeners.
The analysis of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) commonly relies on the use of gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) operating in electron ionization (EI) and electron capture negative ionization (ECNI) modes using quadrupole, triple quadrupole, ion trap, and magnetic sector analyzers. However, these brominated contaminants are examples of compounds for which a soft and robu...
