Повний текст джерелаLaser ablation with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was applied to pharmaceutical tablets. Precision of analysis depended on laser parameters and could be improved using signal ratios. The feasibility of using laser ablation-ICP-MS for detecting natural levels of mercury along a single human hair strand was also demonstrated.
As well, the use of an induction-heating electrothermal vaporizer (IH-ETV) coupled to an ICP-MS was successful in determining mercury concentrations in a single human hair strand. Methodologies for multielement analysis of powdered hair were also explored using IH-ETV-ICP-MS. While calibration by reference hair materials showed promise, calibration methods by liquid standards were not suitable for any element. Detection limits achieved for most elements were below natural levels found in human hair.
IH-ETV-ICP-AES was also applied to the analysis of analyze-laden chromatographic powder. This study showed potential problems that may arise due to the methodology taken to analyze such materials. Finally, recommendations for future investigations and methodologies for laser ablation and thermal vaporization are discussed.

Повний текст джерелаPhosphorus (P) is often the limiting nutrient in lacustrine and brackish eco-systems, and enhanced input of P into an aquatic system might therefore negatively impact the environment. Because modern waste water manage-ment have reduced external P input to surface waters, internal P loading from the sediment has become one of the main P sources to aquatic ecosys-tems, in which relatively unknown organic P compounds seem to be more active in P recycling than previously thought.
This thesis focus is on improving analysis methods for organic P com-pounds in lacustrine and brackish sediments, as well as determining which of these compounds might be degraded, mobilized and subsequently recycled to the water column and on what temporal scale this occur. In both lacustrine and brackish environments, the most labile P compound was pyrophosphate, followed by different phosphate diesters. Phosphate monoesters were the least labile organic P compounds and degraded the slowest with sediment depth. In regulated lakes, it was shown that pyrophosphate and polyphos-phate compound groups were most related to lake trophic status, thus indi-cating their involvement in P cycling. This thesis also indicates faster P turn-over in sediment from the brackish environment compared to sediment from the lacustrine environment.
A comparison of organic P extraction procedures showed that pre-extraction with EDTA, and NaOH as main extractant, was most efficient for total P extraction. Using buffered sodium dithionite (BD) as a pre-extractant and NaOH as main extractant was most efficient for extracting the presuma-bly most labile organic P compound groups, pyrophosphate and polyphos-phate. Furthermore, it was determined that organic P compounds associated with humic substances were more recalcitrant than other P compounds, that the BD step used in traditional P fractionation might extract phosphate monoesters, and that NMR is a statistically valid method for quantification of organic P compounds in sediment extracts.

Повний текст джерелаParalelamente aos métodos convencionais, alternativas de preparo e análise que reduziam a necessidade de grandes volumes de amostra e solventes também foram desenvolvidos. A associação de técnicas miniaturizadas de preparo de amostra e análise permitiu que limites de detecção comparáveis aos dos métodos utilizando SPE fossem atingidos, utilizando, inclusive, o analisador do tipo tempo de voo. Dessa forma, um novo escopo de aplicações usufruindo das características deste último analisador poderá ser desenvolvido a partir da melhor pré-concentração proporcionada pelas estratégias de miniaturização estudadas.
The presence of antibiotics in the environment demonstrates the problem of improper drug disposal and inefficiency of the current water treatment systems. As a result of this contamination, there is the possibility of microbial resistance and other harmful effects, not totally understood, on the aquatic flora and fauna. The present study aimed to develop methods for sample preparation and analysis in order to evaluate the potential of an anaerobic fixed bed reactor for removing sulfonamides from complex matrices and, in addiction, to investigate the presence of this class of contaminants in various environmental compartments of São Carlos. For this, methods using solid phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography (LC), were developed in association with the analysis by mass spectrometry . The results showed that the reactor used can satisfactorily remove the compound investigated and may be, in future, an alternative to conventional treatments. These results were obtained from the development and validation of a method based on solid phase extraction associated with liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry using a hybrid quadrupole-time of flight (SPE-LC-QTOF) analyzer. Another method that was also developed and validated, based on SPE-LC-QTRAP (hybrid quadrupole-linear ion trap), was useful to show that there is contamination by sulfonamides and trimethoprim in water collected from rivers in some areas of the town. This objective was achieved, inclusive allowing the comparison between the figures of merit obtained during the methods validation, which indicated that the analyzers (and the systems used, in general) have significant differences which that affect parameters as matrix effect and quantification limits.
In parallel with the conventional methods, alternatives of sample preparation and analysis that reduced the need of large volumes of sample and solvent were also developed.
The association of miniaturized techniques of sample preparation and analysis allowed detection limits comparable to that of methods using SPE, even using small volumes of sample and solvent and a less sensitive mass analyzer. Thus, a new scope of applications, taking advantage of the characteristics of the QTOF, can be developed from the higher pre-concentration provided by the strategies studied in this work.

Cai, Beilei 1979. "Essays in health and environmental economics: Challenges in the empirical analysis of micro-level economic survey data." Thesis, University of Oregon, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/8505.
Повний текст джерелаMicro-level survey data are widely used in applied economic research. This dissertation, which consists of three empirical papers, demonstrates challenges in empirical research using micro-level survey data, as well as some methods to accommodate these problems. Chapter II examines the effect of China's recent public health insurance reform on health utilization and health status. Chinese policy makers have been eager to identify how this reform, characterized by a substantial increase in out-of-pocket costs, has affected health care demand and health status. However, due to self-selection of individuals into the publicly insured group, the impact of the reform remains an unresolved issue. I employ a Heckman selection model in the context of difference-in-difference regression to accommodate the selection problem, and provide the first solid empirical evidence that the recent public health insurance reforms in China adversely affected both health care access and health status for publicly insured individuals. Chapter III examines the construct validity of a stated preference (SP) survey concerning climate change policy. Due to the fact that the SP survey method remains a controversial tool for benefit-cost analysis, every part of the survey deserves thorough examination to ensure the quality of the data. Using a random utility approach, I establish that there is a great deal of logical consistency between people's professed attitudes toward different payment vehicles and their subsequent choices among policies which vary in the incidence of their costs. Chapter IV employs the same survey data used in Chapter III, but demonstrates the potential for order effects stemming from prior attitude-elicitation questions. In addition, it considers the potential impact of these order effects on Willingness to Pay (WTP) estimates for climate change mitigation. I find the orderings of prior elicitation questions may change people's opinions toward various attributes of the different policies, and thereby increase or decrease their WTP by a substantial amount. Thus, this chapter emphasizes the significance of order effects in prior elicitation questions, and supports a call for diligence in using randomly ordered prior elicitation questions in stated preference surveys, to minimize inadvertent effects from any single arbitrary ordering.

Peterman, Paul Herbert. "Evaluation of Human Toenail as a Non-invasive Biomonitoring Matrix for Assessing Human Exposure to Environmental Organic Pollutants by Optimized Sample Prep and GC/HRMS Analysis." Thesis, University of Missouri - Columbia, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=13877161.
Повний текст джерелаHuman biomonitoring is an analytical challenge to find environmental organic chemicals of varying polarity, persistency, and potential toxicity in a suitable, ideally non-invasive matrix at ppb levels that are significantly above method blanks. Compared with more traditional matrices of adipose tissue, serum, and urine, toenail clippings samples are non-invasive, compact, can be shipped without refrigeration, stored indefinitely at room temperature, and processed without concerns for biohazards. With both hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers, toenails contain 1-2% lipid, which is several times higher than serum. Toenails grow slowly and are trimmed every 2-3 months, which offers the potential to integrate both chronic and pulsed episodic exposures. Using toenail samples (65 to 340 mg) donated from four individuals and an indoor house cat, the hypothesis that toenails are a suitable biomonitoring matrix was tested by analyzing for persistent pesticides, over 50 PCB congeners, moderately persistent PBDEs, and transient compounds of triclosan and bisphenol A by using GC/High Resolution MS (GC/HRMS) analysis and for unsuspected compounds using GC/full scan MS. Although not fully digested and dissolved, toenails averaged 1.22% lipid (sd 0.20%, n=10). Lipid was separated and determined using a new small single-use 2-g S-X3 gel permeation chromatography flash column with high purity nitrogen. Multiple toenail samples from one individual were collected for over a year for replicate analysis, p,p’- DDE averaged 0.82 ng/g-nail, sd 0.28, n=5 and 65.2 ng/g-lipid, sd 15.3, n=5 on lipid-adjusted basis. Trans-nonachlor averaged 3.08 ng/g-nail, sd 1.03, n=5; mean 254 ng/g-lipid, sd 97, n=5. PBDE 28 averaged 0.29 ng/g-nail, sd 0.10, n=5; mean 24.8 ng/g-lipid, sd 13.3, n=5. PBDE 85 averaged 0.25 ng/g-nail, sd 0.06, n=5; mean 20.8 ng/g-lipid, sd 6.2, n=5. PBDE 153 averaged 1.82 ng/g-nail, sd 0.51, n=6; mean 150 ng/g-lipid, sd 49.3, n=6. Most effectively biomonitored in toenails were normally transient triclosan (mean 58.3 ng/g-nail, sd 6.6, n=2), chlordanes, DDT, PBDEs, and PCBs including congeners with 2,5- or 2,3,6-chlorine substitution (PCBs 52, 49, 44, 70, 95, 101, 87, and 110), which are suspect neurotoxins, but are rarely found in extant serum biomonitoring data. Toenail soap wash samples indicated little (< 4%) or no exogenous contamination, except for the musks galaxolide and tonalide in most samples, which ranged up to 30%, likely from topical application. The one cat toenail sample had elevated concentrations of PBDEs and especially chlordanes. Unsuspected tentatively identified compounds included a UV Filter compound, octocrylene, a hydroxyl-methyl benzothiazole, and several compounds used in flavors or fragrances.

Повний текст джерелаThe combination of photocatalytic sample preparation, aiming degradation of organic interferences, with analyte/matrix separation by generation of volatile hydrides followed by atomic absorption spectrometric determination (HG-AAS) is proposed for the first time in this work, mainly devoted to the investigation of total arsenic analysis. A mercury lamp served as source of UV-radiation and the photocatalyst, TiO2 (P25), was used as a suspension in the sample solution. Two geometries of photocatalytic reactor were examined: stationary irradiation of a set of samples contained in 3.5 mL quartz cuvettes (preferred one for the present application) and stopped-flow irradiation of a sample in a tubular reactor consisting of a Teflon tube coiled around the lamp. Evaluation of the digestion efficiency of the reactors under different conditions was made with help of the model system Cd(II)-EDTA, with detection of the unchelated Cd(II) by differential pulse voltammetry with the hanging mercury drop electrode, known to work in the presence of TiO2 suspension. The subsequent studies in combination with HG-AAS focused on the photocatalytic degradation of arsenobetaine (Asb), chosen as a model because it is particularly resistant to conventional treatments (microwave + acid digestion). The following conditions were established for the HG-AAS step: HCl concentration (3 mol.L-1) and NaBH4 concentration (1% m/v in NaOH 0,1 mol.L-1), sample volume (0.10 mL) and atomization temperature (980 °C). Calibration curves for As (III) and As (V) by HG-AAS in the range of 0,020 to 0,100 mg.L-1 (20 a 100 ppb) conveyed in slope and linearity, indicating the same efficiency of arsine formation from both species, favoring the total quantification of arsenic in the sample. Alkaline medium (pH=12) was preferred for the photocatalytic digestion because recoveries of arsenic were better than in neutral or acidic medium, possibly due to lower losses by adsorption of arsenic species on TiO2. The effects of parameters such as irradiation time, concentration of the photocatalyst and of arsenobetaine, as well as the influence of molecular O2 as an electron scavenger were investigated. Under selected conditions and for a starting solution of 0,075 mg.L-1 Asb an arsenic recovery of 80% approximately was obtained after 15 minutes of irradiation while full recovery required 45 minutes. The decomposition of the Asb molecule after irradiation was confirmed by electrospray mass spectrometry and a further study may reveal if the arsenic species involved in the arsine generation are fully mineralized ones.

Повний текст джерелаThis study performed a critical analysis of the sampling planning of benthic communities in unconsolidated substrates. Cost-benefit analysis of the stratified and non-stratified sample designs were conducted in computational environment, through estimates of sampling accuracy and precision. Thestratified designs presented better cost-benefit results than the non-stratified ones, and the stratified-hierarchical design was considered the most costefficient, with better precision compared to the stratified-randomized. In addition, sampling design and effort, community descriptor, statistical power and complexity of the benthic community influenced sampling precision. These concepts were applied to real data sets collected in Caraguatatuba Bay (SP), with perspectives to its application in environmental licensing. The observed trends for real data converged with the computational scenarios. Regarding its applications for environmental licensing, it was observed that different groups in the society disagreed about the minimum number of samples necessary to achieve adequate precision in environmental impact assessment. Environmentalists were the most conservative group, while members of the scientific community were the least conservative one. Finally, both in real and virtual scenarios, a precision of 10% resulted in sampling efforts which were financially and logistically feasible, assuring a statistical power of 90% in hypothesis testing

Повний текст джерелаL'arsènic (As) és un dels contaminants cancerígens més comuns en les aigües subterrànies de Bengala Occidental, Índia, així com d’altres regions. Els científics creuen que la contaminació en arsènic en l'aigua subterrània d'aquesta regió és deguda a la dissolució reductiva dels oxihidròxids de ferro i a l'oxidació de la matèria orgànica. No obstant, la nostra investigació mostra que una combinació de la dissolució mineral de carbonat i la reducció dels oxihidròxids de ferro en són la causa. Com a conseqüència la població d'aquesta regió estan exposats a nivells alts d'As. El nostre estudi mostra que la saliva és un bon biomarcador d'exposició a l’arsènic. A més, mitjançant la determinació de l’especiació d’As en saliva es pot comprendre la susceptibilitat individual a malalties relacionades amb aquest element. Finalment, proposem la utilització de montmorillonita dopada amb nanopartícules de ferro metàl·lic com un material eficaç per reduir els alts nivells d'As en l'aigua

Повний текст джерелаPlatinum Group Metals (PGMs), particularly palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt) and rhodium (Rh) have been identified as pollutants in the environment due to their increased use in catalytic converters and mining in South Africa (as well as worldwide). Joining the continuous efforts to alleviate this dilemma, a new electrochemical sensor based on a nanoparticle film transducer has been developed to assess the level of these metals in the environment. The main goal of this study was to exploit the capabilities of nanostructured material for the development and application of an adsorptive stripping voltammetric method for reliable quantification of PGMs in environmental samples. In the study reported in this thesis, glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) surfaces were modified with conducting films of nanostructured reduced graphene oxide-antimony nanoparticles (rGO-SbNPs) for application as electrochemical sensors. The rGO-SbNPs nanocomposite was prepared by Hummer`s synthesis of antimony nanoparticles in reaction medium containing reduced graphene oxide. Sensors were constructed by drop coating of the surfaces of the carbon electrodes with rGO-SbNPs films followed by air-drying. The nanocomposite material was characterised by: scanning and transmission electron miscroscopies; FTIR, UV-Vis and Ramanspectrosocopies; dc voltammetry; and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The real surface area of both electrodes were studied and estimated to be 1.66 × 10⁶ mol cm⁻² and 4.09 × 10³ mol cm⁻² for SPCE/rGO-SbNPs and GCE/rGO-SbNPs, respectively. The film thickness was also evaluated and estimated to be 0.36 cm and 1.69 × 10⁻⁶ cm for SPCE/rGO-SbNPs and GCE/rGO-SbNPs, respectively. Referring to these results, the SPCE/rGO-SbNPs sensor had a better sensitivity than the GCE/rGO-SbNPs sensor. The electroanalytical properties of the PGMs were first studied by cyclic voltammetry followed by indepth stripping voltammetric analysis. The development of the stripping voltammetry methodology involved the optimisation of experimental conditions such as selection of adequate supporting electrolyte, choice of pH and /or concentration of supporting electrolytes, deposition potential, deposition time, stirring conditions. The detection of Pd(II), Pt(II) and Rh(III) in environmental samples were performed SPCE/rGO-SbNPs and GCE/rGO-SbNPs at the optimised experimental conditions For the GCE/rGO-SbNPs sensor, the detection limit was found to be 0.45, 0.49 and 0.49 pg L⁻¹ (S/N = 3) for Pd(II), Pt(II) and Rh(III), respectively. For the SPCE/rGO-SbNPs sensor, the detection limit was found to be 0.42, 0.26 and 0.34 pg L⁻¹ (S/N = 3) for Pd(II), Pt(II) and Rh(III), respectively. The proposed adsorptive differential pulse cathodic stripping voltammetric (AdDPCSV) method was found to be sensitive, accurate, precise, fast and robust for the determination of PGMs in soil and dust samples. The simultaneous determination of PGMs was also investigated with promising results obtained. The AdDPCSV sensor performance was compared with that of inductive coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) for the determination of PGM ions in soil and dust samples. It was found that though the metals could be determined by ICP-MS technique, it was limited from the standpoints of sensitivity, ease of operation and versatility compared to the AdDPCSV sensor. This study has show cased the successful construction and application of novel SPCE/rGO-SbNPs and GCE/rGO-SbNPs AdDPCSV sensors forthe determination of PGMs in environmental samples (specifically roadside dust and soil samples). The study provides a promising analytical tool for monitoring PGMs pollutants that are produced by automobiles and transported in the environment.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: The choice of the sample preparation technique used in combination with a chromatographic technique in environmental analysis strongly influences the performance of the method as a whole. The main aim of this work was to evaluate methods like: micro liquid-liquid extraction (цLLE)and solid phase micro extraction (SPME) in combination with gas chromatography-electron capture detector (GCECD) and a recently developed technique named stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) combined with thermal desorption system-programmable temperature vaporizationgas chromatography-mass spectrometer (TDS-PTV-GC-MS) for the analysis of organochloro-pesticides (OCPs) in natural water and to make a comparison between them. The most suitable method was then selected for the analysis of water samples collected from Eritrea. An additional goal was to develop a sensitive method for the analysis ofOCPs in soil and sediment samples. цLLE-GC-ECD and SPME-GC-ECD methods were evaluated for the analysis of OCPs in water. The former allowed achieving a sensitivity of less than 100 ppt and the latter was able to detect down to the 1 ppt level. Both methods were found to be repeatable with %RSD of3% to 19% and 5% to 12% as well as linear with a range of 1:103 and 1:5x103 respectivey. SBSE-TDS-GC-MS was also investigated for the analysis of OCPs in water samples. With this technique a good sensitivity down to 1 ppt was also obtained. The less sensitive nature of the MS compared to ECD was hereby compensated for by the large amount of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) phase on the stir bar. The method was repeatable and linear with a range of 1:5000, which is similar to the one obtained for the SPME-GC-ECD method. All three methods were also tested with real contaminated water samples and a comparison of the three techniques in terms of sensitivity, linearity, repeatability, availability and cost effectiveness was done. As a method of choice in terms of the above criteria, SPMEGC- ECD was applied to the water samples collected from Eritrea. The presence of some oePs such as a-BBC (benzenehexachloride), heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, endosulfan I, p,p'-DDE (dichlorodiphenylchloroethylene), endosulfan II, p,p'-DDD (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane), endosu!fan sulfate and p,p'-DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) in some of the Eritrean water samples was demonstrated The SPME-GC-ECD technique for the analysis OCPs in soil and sediment samples was investigated. It was shown to be able to detect down to 1 pg/g (lppt) with good linearity and repeatability. The method was also evaluated for authentic soil samples. Due to a lack of time the method could not be applied for the analysis of the soil and sediment samples collected from Eritrea.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die keuse van 'n gepaste monster-voorbereidingsmetode wat gebruik word tesame met 'n chromatografiese skeidingtegniek in omgewings-analise het 'n beduidende effek op die algehele metode. Die doel van hierdie werk was om metodes soos mikrovloeistof- vloeistof ekstraksie (цLLE) en soliede fase mikro ekstraksie (SPME) in kombinasie met gaschromatografie met elektronvangs deteksie (GC-ECD) te ontwikkel vir die analise van organochloor-pestisiede (OCPs) in natuurlike water. Vervolgens is hierdie metodes vergelyk met die onlangs-ontwikkelde roerstaaf sorptiewe ekstraksie tegniek (SBSE) in kombinasie met termiese desorbsie-GCmassaspektrometriese deteksie (TDS-GC-MSD). Die mees geskikte metode is vervolgens gebruik vir die analise van Eritreaanse watermonsters. Daarbenewens was die doelook om 'n sensitiewe metode te ontwikkel vir die analise van OCPs in gronden sedimentmonsters. Beide цLLE en SPME-GC-ECD metodes is gekarakteriseer deur goeie herhaalbaarheid en lineariteit. Die sensitiwiteit van bogenoemde metodes was minder as 100 dele per triljoen (ppt) en 1 ppt, respektiewelik. Ook met SBSE-TDS-GC-MSD kon 'n deteksielimiet van 1 ppt bereik word. In hierdie geval is vir die verlies van sensitiwiteit van die MSD in vergelyking met die ECD, gekompenseer deur die groter hoeveelheid PDMS op die roerstaaf in vergelyking met 'n SPME apparaat. Die herhaalbaarheid en lineariteit van die metode is vergelykbaar met dié van die SPMEGC- ECD metode. Al drie metodes is vergelyk vir die analise van gekontamineerde watermonsters in terme van sensitiwiteit, liniêre bereik, herhaalbaarheid, toeganklikheid en kosteeffektiwiteit. SPME-GC-ECD is vervolgens gekies as metode van voorkeur vir die analise van Eritreaanse watermonsters. Die teenwoordigheid van sekere OCPs soos a-BHC, heptachloor, heptachloorepoksied, endosulfan I, p,p'-DDE, endosulfan II, p,p' -DDD, endosulfan sulfaat en p,p' -DDT in die monsters is gedemonstreer. Die toepasbaarheid van die SPME-GC-ECD metode vir die analise van OCPs in grond-en sedimentmonsters is ook geëvalueer, en dit was moontlik om so min as 1 pg/g waar te neem. Weens tydbeperkings was dit nie moontlik om Eritreaanse grondmonsters met die ontwikkelde metode te analiseer nie.
