Development of Brominated Flame Retardants (BFRs) Analysis with Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) in Sewage Sludge Matrix

Article Preview

Abstract:

LC-MS methods have become a very important method for brominated flame retardants (BFRs) analysis and replaced the traditional GC-MS method. This method enables the combination of excellence LC separation column with the sensitivity and specificity of state-of-the-art mass spectrometers and also suitable for the analysis of thermolabile and polar BFRs. In this study, a LC-MS/MS method has been developed for several classes of BFRs in sewage sludge matrix by combining the optimized LEE extraction and GPC cleanup. The advantages of the method include low detection limits (pg range), and the absence of thermal degradation of BDE-209.
