Abstract

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are emerging contaminants in aquatic environmental samples. Therefore, it required rapidly and certainly analytical method for pharmaceuticals which are existed in environment. In this study, Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with electrospray ionization (ESI) was used to measure the concentrations of 7 pharmaceuticals (quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid, acetylsalicylic acid, diclofenac-Na, naproxen, ibuprofen, mefenamic acid, talniflumate) from environmental water or aquatic samples simultaneously. Effective sample clean-up by solid-phase extraction (SPE) prior to LC-MS/MS analysis is necessary. For further purification, Mixed Cation eXchange (MCX) and Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges were used to eliminate the remaining interferences. LODs (Limits of Detection) and MDLs (Method Detection Limits) for the spiked sample in fresh water were in the range of 0.05~1.50 pg/mL and 0.17~4.90 pg/mL, respectively. The absolute recovery in the concentration of 1.0 ng/mL were between 81.9 and 116.3%. The acidic pharmaceuticals were detected in concentrations of 0.018~16.925 ng/mL in aquatic environmental samples.

의약물질(PPCPs)은 수질 환경 시료에서 새로운 오염물질로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LC/ESI-MS/MS를 이용하여 환경 수질 시료로부터 7 종(2-퀴노사린카르복시산, 아세틸살리실산, 디클로페낙-소듐, 나프록센, 이부프로펜, 메페남산, 탈니플루메이트)의 산성의약물질을 동시 분석하는 방법을 비교하여 개선하였으며 폐수처리장의 유입수 및 방류수 그리고 연장선상의 하천수의 오염도를 측정하였다. LC/ESI-MS/MS 분석을 위해서 MCX (Mixed Cation eXchange) 카트리지와 HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) 카트리지를 연결하는 텐뎀 고체상 추출법과 MCX 카트리지만을 사용하는 고체상 추출법을 이용하여 효과적인 시료 정제 및 추출을 수행하였다. 검출한계(LODs)와 방법검출한계(MDLs)는 각각 0.05~1.50 pg/mL, 0.17~4.90 pg/mL 범위를나타내었다. 시료중 1.0 ng/mL 농도(n=3)에서절대회수율은 81.9%~116.3%를 나타내었다. 수질 환경 시료에서 수 pg/mL~ng/mL의 농도로 산성의약물질이 측정되었다.
