Die Ergebnisse und die Verfahrenskenndaten zeigen, dass die Mehrzahl der Laboratorien mit den angewandten Analysentechniken in der Lage ist, in dem vorgegebenen Kontaminationsbereich empfindlich genug, vergleichbar und richtig messen zu können. GC- FID erweist sich nicht empfindlich und spezifisch genug in dem unteren Spurenbereich, deshalb war schon in dem Aufruf zum Ringversuch auf die Anwendung der GC-MS- Messtechnik verwiesen worden.

Ziel dieser Richtlinie ist die Angleichung der Rechtsvorschriften der Mitgliedstaaten über die kontrollierte Beseitigung der PCB, die Dekontaminierung oder Beseitigung PCB-haltiger Geräte und die Beseitigung von PCB-Abfall. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wurde mit der Verabschiedung der PCB/PCT- Abfallverordnung vom 26. Juni 2000 die EU-Richtlinie umgesetzt. Entsprechend der PCB/PCT-Abfallverordnung wird für PCB-haltigen Abfall ein Grenzwert von 50 mg/kg festgelegt. Beim Haupteinsatzgebiet der PCB - als Isolierflüssigkeiten in Transformatoren - ist die Bestimmung des PCB-Gehaltes durch DIN-Normen geregelt. Polychlorierte Biphenyle wurden auch als Weichmacher in Dichtungsmassen und Kunststoffen, z.B. in Kabelummantelungen, und als Flammschutzmittelanstrich für Holz eingesetzt. Für feste Abfallmatrices gibt es keine verbindliche Prüfvorschrift. Ziel des Projektes war die Erarbeitung und Validierung eines Prüfverfahrens zur Bestimmung von PCB und PCT in organischen Abfallmatrices wie Kabelshredder und Altholz.

Da die leichtflüchtigen Verbindungen in dem von den kontaminierten Standorten angeschafften Boden schon während des Verarbeitungsprozesses weitgehend verloren gegangen waren, wurde das LHKW- und BTEX-haltige Referenzmaterial durch Einzelflaschendotierung hergestellt. Eine bestimmte Menge eines im Rahmen eines vorhergehenden BMBF-Vorhabens (Förderkennzeichen 07 OTX 20/3) erhaltenen unbelasteten Ackerboden-Referenzmaterials wurde in Glasflaschen eingewogen und unter optimierten Bedingungen mit einer methanolischen Lösung, die ausgewählte leichtflüchtige Substanzen enthält, dotiert. Die anschließende Stabilitätsuntersuchung mit den so hergestellten Proben zeigte, dass es notwendig ist, die Bodenproben mit einem organischen Lösungsmittel (z. B. Methanol) zu überschichten, um Verluste der leichtflüchtigen organischen Substanzen so gering wie möglich zu halten. Die Voruntersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass die Wiederfindungsraten von LHKW und BTEX in Boden ohne Überschichtung sehr schlecht sind. Das erarbeitete Analysenverfahren liegt als Normvorschlag dem Normausschuss ISO/TC 190 - Soil quality vor und wurde im Rahmen eines Ringversuches mit den hergestellten Referenzmaterialien erfolgreich validiert. Das validierte Verfahren mit den Verfahrenskenndaten wurde als ISO DIS 22155 im September 2003 aktualisiert.

As mineral oil products are important sources for environmental contaminations a high need exists for certified reference materials for their determination using the new gas chromatographic methods (soil: ISO/FDIS 16703, waste: ENpr 14039, water: ISO 9377-2). The experimental conditions and results for preparation and characterisation of a total of nine reference materials (3 water-, 3 soil- and 3 waste materials) are described and discussed. Target values for the reference materials were defined at the beginning of the project in order to have clear quality criteria, which could be compared with the achieved results at the end of the project. These target specifications were related to the maximum uncertainty from test certification exercises (< 5 % for soil/waste and < 10 % for water), the maximum inhomogeneity between bottles (< 3 %) and minimum requirements for stability (> 5 years for soil/waste and > 2 years for water). The feasibility studies showed that solid materials (soil, waste) could be prepared sufficiently homogenous and stable. The test certified values of the 6 solid materials comprise a wide range of mineral oil content from about 200-9000 mg/kg with expanded uncertainties between 5.7-13.1 % using a coverage factor k (k = 2). The development of new water reference materials –the so-called “spiking pills” for an offshore- and a land-based discharge water represents one of the most innovative aspects of the project. The spiking pill technology facilitates the application and storage and improves the material stability compared with aqueous materials. Additional to the preparation and test certification of the reference materials investigations on the analytical method for the determination of mineral oil hydrocarbons were performed. The results obtained in relation to the optimisation of analytical method (extraction procedure, sample pretreatment, clean-up and measurement) were provided to the respective working group of ISO/TC 190, ISO/TC 147 and CEN/TC 292 and were incorporated into the ongoing standardisation procedures. The new version of ISO/FDIS 16703 (July 2004) includes the improvements based on HYCREF results, for example the increase of the solvent/sample ratio, the removal of acetone from the organic extracts and the use of column technique instead of batch technique for clean-up.

Es handelt sich bei den Boden- und Grundwasserkontaminationen ausnahmslos um industrielle Altlasten. Da der Gehalt an organisch gebundenen Schwefelverbindungen, kolloidalem Schwefel und gelösten Sulfiden für die Dimensionierung von Grundwasseraufbereitungsanlagen (Aktivkohle, Katalysator) von großer Bedeutung ist und am Standort teilweise sehr hohe Schwefelkontaminationen auftreten, sollen vor einem erneuten Ausschreibungsverfahren zur Grundwassersanierung an drei sehr unterschiedlichen, aber für den Standort typischen Grundwassermessstellen entsprechende Bilanzen für die Schwefelbelastung erstellt werden. Dabei sind sowohl die summarischen Kenngrößen wie Summe Gesamtschwefel, ausblasbare (POS) und extrahierbare leicht- und schwerflüchtige organische Schwefelverbindungen und an Aktivkohle adsorbierbare Schwefelverbindungen (AOS) von Interesse, als auch eine Zuordnung der Hauptkontaminationen über ein halbquantitatives GC-MS-Screening. Im Artikel werden die angewendeten Verfahren vorgestellt. Die Ergebnisse werden diskutiert, gegenübergestellt und ihre Belastbarkeit eingeschätzt.

Es wurden Untersuchungen zu den Verfahrensschritten Extraktion, Extraktreinigung, Messung und Integration durchgeführt. Im Ergebnis der Untersuchungen wurde festgestellt, dass die Extraktion von Feststoffproben (20 g) mit einem Extraktionsvolumen von mind. 40 mL Aceton und 20 mL n-Heptan erfolgen muss, um eine zufriedenstellende Extraktionsausbeute zu gewährleisten. Im Rahmen dieses Projektes wurde ein Rechenprogramm für die Bestimmung der Rest- Aceton-Konzentration in Heptan-Extrakten erstellt. Mit diesem Programm können auch die Wasservolumina ermittelt werden, die für eine gewünschte Rest-Aceton-Konzentration notwendig sind. Anhand von Bodenextrakten, PAK-, Stearylstearat- und Triglycerid-Standardlösungen wurde nachgewiesen, dass die Säulen-Technik eine wesentlich effektivere Extraktreinigung bewirkt als das sogenannte Batch-(Schüttel-) Verfahren. In einem Modellversuch an drei verschiedenen Bodenextrakten wurde gezeigt, dass die zwischen FGAA- und ISO-Verfahren unterschiedliche Art der Peak-Integration eines GC-FID Chromatogramms zwischen n-Dekan (C10) und n-Tetracontan (C40) keinen Einfluss auf das Endergebnis hat. Eine Basislinienkorrektur des Proben-Chromatogramms ist daher nicht erforderlich. Das FGAA-Verfahren enthält in seiner Vorschrift für die Berechnung des MKW-Gehalts im Probenmaterial einen systematischen Fehler von etwa 8 %. Dieser Fehler entsteht durch den Unterschied zwischen dem theoretischen Extraktvolumen von 150 mL und dem realen Extraktvolumen von etwa 139 mL. Dieser systematische Fehler sollte in einer nachfolgenden Fassung des FGAA-Verfahrens vermieden werden.

A1 - Nehls, Irene T1 - Germination induces the glucosylation of the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol in various grains N2 - In food, the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) often occurs in conjunction with its 3-β-D-glucopyranoside (D3G). The transformation of DON to D3G through glucosylation is catalysed by plant enzymes, however, the exact circumstances are not well understood. In order to investigate the role of enzymatic glucosylation in germinating grains, DON treated kernels were steeped and germinated under laboratory conditions. Furthermore, the effect of malting on the DON content of the contaminated barley was investigated. In all cases, DON and its derivatives were quantified by HPLC-MS/MS before, during and after the experiments. Amongst the six tested cereals; wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and millet transformed DON to D3G during germination whilst the oats were inactive. For wheat, barley, and spelt the initial DON content was reduced by 50%, with the loss being almost entirely accounted for by D3G formation. As D3G might be cleaved during digestion, the elevated D3G concentration may obscure the toxicologically relevant DON content in processed food and beer. The germination process has a major influence on the 'masking' of DON, leading to high quantities of D3G that may be missed in common mycotoxin analyses.

Effective consumer protection therefore essentially depends on food surveillance by reliable quantitative analysis enabled by appropriate quality control. Certified (matrix) reference materials (CRMs) are versatile tools to support Quality assurance. However, in the case of ochratoxin A (OTA), a hepato- and nephrotoxic mycotoxin, which is regulated in various foods, there is a lack of suitable CRMs. This lack has now been overcome by the development of two European Reference Materials (ERM®) for the Determination of OTA in roasted coffee (ERM®-BD475) and red wine (ERM®-BD476). This article discusses the material preparation process as well as the results of homogeneity and stability testing. Furthermore, the results of the inhouse certification studies carried out at BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing are presented and discussed. Interlaboratory comparison studies involving selected expert laboratories with documented Expertise in the field of mycotoxin analysis were conducted to confirm the certified values determined by BAM. The certified ochratoxin A values and their corresponding expanded uncertainties (k = 2) were assigned in full compliance with the requirements of ISO Guide 35 and are as follows: (6.0 ± 0.6) µg kg-1 for roasted coffee, ERM®-BD475, and (0.52 ± 0.11) µg L-1 for red wine, ERM®-BD476.

Kernels from a sample of a wheat harvest affected by Fusarium culmorum were sorted into six groups according to their visual attributes. Milled portions of these groups were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence and diode array detection. The clean-up was performed with an immunoaffinity column after methanol/water (4:1, v/v) extraction. The zearalenone content of the unsorted kernel fraction was 74 µg/kg. The group of healthy-looking kernels was contaminated with only 6 µg/kg of zearalenone. The groups of kernels that appeared shrunken and chalky white, damage routinely caused by Fusarium, were contaminated with 170 and 117 µg/kg, respectively. A remarkably high level of zearalenone contamination, 2,184 µg/kg, was observed for the group of reddish kernels. An association between the presence of the red pigment aurofusarin and high levels of zearalenone was found. Therefore, this pigment may be used as a marker of high zearalenone content.

Various amphiphiles and types and concentrations of salts were tested. By using amphiphiles with HLB numbers in the range 4.7 to 40 a complete recovery of the mineral oil could be obtained for a combination of salts Na2SO4 + NaH2PO4 with total ionic strength of 6 mol/L.

It has been found and analysed in several foods and feeds. Owing to its toxicity and occurrence in food and feed, the European Community has issued directives and some countries have their own regulations for OTA contents in food, feed and beverages. This work describes a method for the determination of OTA in mulled and red wine. It is based on combined anion exchange/reversed-phase clean-up and was analysed by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (multiple reaction monitoring). The method was validated with natural contaminated and spiked wine samples with OTA contents from 1.34 to 3.48 g kg–1. Owing to its accuracy, good reproducibility and repeatability, this easy method is a good alternative to liquid chromatography–fluorescence detection methods.

The Fusarium-damaged kernels were subdivided into white, shrunken, and red kernel groups, and the remaining kernels were sorted into healthy, black spotted, and nonspecific groups. The distribution patterns of nivalenol, deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and ergosterol were determined for possible correlations. Significant correlations between the distribution patterns were found for the mycotoxins and ergosterol for the grouped kernels (r = 0.997-0.999, p < 0.0001). Additionally, remarkably outstanding levels of nivalenol (24-fold more than the mean at 1.16 mg/kg), deoxynivalenol (27-fold more than the mean at 0.16 mg/kg), zearalenone (25-fold more than the mean at 77 µg/kg), and ergosterol (17-fold more than the mean at 13.4 mg/kg) were found in the red kernel group. Further, detailed mycotoxin and ergosterol analyses were carried out on various segments (kernel surface, conidia, bran, and flour) of the red kernels. However, the mycotoxin and ergosterol distribution profiles revealed nonsignificant correlations for these kernel segments, with the exception of deoxynivalenol and nivalenol, which were moderately correlated (r = 0.948, p = 0.035).

To enlarge these methods for further analytes, we have developed a LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of the mycotoxin aurofusarin. Additionally, further LC-MSn experiments were performed to demonstrate the fragmentation pattern of aurofusarin. Applicable multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions of aurofusarin were found and optimized by parameter variation of the tandem mass spectrometer. The applicability of the developed method was tested by analysis of naturally contaminated wheat.

T1 - Feasibility studies for the preparation and certification of reference materials - Part II: Mineral oil contaminated waste materials N2 - The 2-year international joint project HYCREF (Contract-No. G6RD-CT-2002-00854), funded by the European Commission in the 5th Framework programme, aimed to develop methods to prepare homogenous and stable water-, soil- and waste reference materials contaminated with mineral oil hydrocarbons and to test certify the mineral oil content by gas chromatographic methods. As mineral oil products are important sources for environmental contaminations, appropriate reference materials certified by using the new gas chromatographic methods (soil: ISO/FDIS 16703, waste: prEN 14039 and KW/04, water: ISO 9377-2) are highly needed. Additional to the HYCREF-results presented in part I–mineral contaminated soils–this second paper gives an overview of the feasibility study for the preparation and test certification of three waste reference materials (offshore marine sediment, building material and industrial waste). The following specifications, which had been defined in the project work plan, were reached successfully: uncertainty of the mineral oil content resulting from the certification exercise ≤ 5% and a between-bottle inhomogeneity of ≤ 3%. All three materials have been evaluated for long- and short term stability. They contain different levels and types of mineral oil and cover the full application range of ISO/FDIS 16703 and prEN 14039 (100–10,000 mg/kg). The expanded uncertainties U cert of the three materials are about 6%. In this way, they are comparable to ERM®-CC015a (U cert=7.1%, mineral oil in a river sediment) and are suited to close the present gap of commercially available CRM for mineral oil determination in waste.

In addition to instrumental improvements, the development of LC-MS-MS has also been a consequence of the availability of stable isotope internal standards, e.g., 13C-labelled mycotoxins. Thus, the LC-ESI-MS-MS method using a 13C15-deoxynivalenol internal standard as a state-of-the-art technique was selected as a reference procedure for an in-house method comparison study of the determination of deoxynivalenol (DON) in wheat materials. Alternative methods include LC-diode array detection, which is a frequently used routine procedure for DON-analysis, and gas chromatography after trimethylsilylation. For GC application, an electron capture detector and a negative chemical ionisation mass spectrometry detector were used, which have both been well described in the literature. The method comparison was conducted using t test statistics. Additionally, this study also calculates important method performance characteristics, including accuracy, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, recovery, and variation coefficient. Furthermore, this is the first report of a GC-MS method for the determination of DON using a fully carbon-labelled 13C15-DON as an IS. The GC-MS using 13C15-DON as an IS has produced comparable results to the 13C-IS-LC-MS-MS reference method with a similar sensitivity. ECD detection was slightly less sensitive, but is also suited for DON analysis in wheat. Due to the high LOQ, the LC-DAD method seems highly applicable to the measurement of highly contaminated samples.

Most recently, great attention was paid to the migration of epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) and phthalates from twist-off closures into baby food packed in glass jars. Besides, packaging made of recycled fiber materials such as paper and paperboard were found to be the source of contaminants in dry and powdery foodstuffs such as sugar, rice, and maize flour. In this study 20 infant food samples packed in recycled paperboard containers were tested for phthalates and diisopropyl naphthalenes (DIPN), known incorporated substances in recycled paper. Furthermore, the barrier function of different secondary packaging materials (paper and aluminum-coated foil) was investigated. The highest contents of phthalates (mainly diisobutyl phthalate, DiBP) and DIPN in infant food samples were found for those foods packed in inner bags made of paper. Migration experiments were performed under authentic conditions to evaluate possible transfer mechanism (gas phase, direct contact) of phthalate esters into foodstuff. It is shown that paper does not provide an appropriate barrier against migration of semipolar compounds such as phthalates. The air space itself otherwise effectively prevents migration of the less volatile phthalates under the applied conditions.

The certified parameter is the ethanol mass concentration at 20 °C. When used in a wet bath simulator, the solutions deliver gas samples that meet the requirements set by the Organization of Legal Metrology for calibration of breathalyzers. The materials were prepared gravimetrically by spiking of ethanol into water in single 5 L units. A complete uncertainty budget for the preparation process has been established. The purity of the commercial ethanol stock solution was identified to be the main source of uncertainty. For stability and homogeneity measurements and for the verification of the gravimetric mass concentration of the CRMs, a robust high-precision gas chromatography, with flame-ionization detection method for ethanol determination in aqueous samples was developed and validated. The good performance of this method has been demonstrated in several international comparisons organized by the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance-Metrology in Chemistry at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

A1 - Nehls, Irene T1 - Dynamic covalent hydrazine chemistry as a selective extraction and cleanup technique for the quantification of the Fusarium mycotoxin zearalenone in edible oils N2 - A novel, cost-efficient method for the analytical extraction of the Fusarium mycotoxin zearalenone (ZON) from edible oils by dynamic covalent hydrazine chemistry (DCHC) was developed and validated for its application with high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD). ZON is extracted from the edible oil by hydrazone formation on a polymer resin functionalised with hydrazine groups and subsequently released by hydrolysis. Specifity and precision of this approach are superior to liquid partitioning or gel permeation chromatography (GPC). DCHC also extracts zearalanone (ZAN) but not α-/β-zearalenol or -zearalanol. The hydrodynamic properties of ZON, which were estimated using molecular simulation data, indicate that the compound is unaffected by nanofiltration through the resin pores and thus selectively extracted. The method's levels of detection and quantification are 10 and 30 µg/kg, using 0.2 g of sample. Linearity is given in the range of 10-20,000 µg/kg, the average recovery being 89%. Bias and relative standard deviations do not exceed 7%. In a sample survey of 44 commercial edible oils based on various agricultural commodities (maize, olives, nuts, seeds, etc.) ZON was detected in four maize oil samples, the average content in the positive samples being 99 µg/kg. The HPLC-FLD results were confirmed by HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry and compared to those obtained by a liquid partitioning based sample preparation procedure.

Their common occurrence in food and feed poses a threat to the health of humans and animals. This threat is caused either by the direct contamination of agricultural commodities or by a "carry-over" of mycotoxins and their metabolites into animal tissues, milk, and eggs after feeding of contaminated hay or corn. As a consequence of their diverse chemical structures and varying physical properties, mycotoxins exhibit a wide range of biological effects. Individual mycotoxins can be genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and oestrogenic. To protect consumer health and to reduce economic losses, surveillance and control of mycotoxins in food and feed has become a major objective for producers, regulatory authorities and researchers worldwide. However, the variety of chemical structures makes it impossible to use one single technique for mycotoxin analysis. Hence, a vast number of analytical methods has been developed and validated. The heterogeneity of food matrices combined with the demand for a fast, simultaneous and accurate determination of multiple mycotoxins creates enormous challenges for routine analysis. The most crucial issues will be discussed in this review. These are (1) the collection of representative samples, (2) the performance of classical and emerging analytical methods based on chromatographic or immunochemical techniques, (3) the validation of official methods for enforcement, and (4) the limitations and future prospects of the current methods.

Different steps of digestion were analyzed using salivary, gastric, and duodenal juices. The degradation and bidirectional conversion of the toxicologically relevant (R)-epimers and the biologically inactive (S)-epimers for seven pairs of EAs were determined by a HPLC method coupled with fluorescence detection. Baking cookies resulted in degradation of EAs (2–30 %) and a shift in the epimeric ratio toward the (S)-epimer for all EAs. The applied digestion model led to a selective toxification of ergotamine and ergosine, two ergotamine-type EAs. The initial percentage of the toxic (R)-epimer in relation to the total toxin content was considerably increased after digestion of cookies. Ergotamine and ergosine increased from 32 to 51 % and 35 to 55 %, respectively. In contrast, EAs of the ergotoxine type (ergocornine, α- and β-ergocryptine, and ergocristine) showed an epimeric shift toward their biologically inactive (S)-epimers. Further experiments indicated that the selective epimerization of ergotamine EAs occurs in the duodenal juice only. These results demonstrate that toxification of EAs in the intestinal tract should be taken into consideration.

These toxic substances undergo different transformation reactions during storage and cereal processing. One of these reactions is the addition of water to a double bond in the ergoline skeleton. Since light is required for this process, the substances formed were named lumi-ergot alkaloids. From these, a new asymmetric carbon and consequently two epimers with different polarities are formed. For investigations of lumi-ergot alkaloids, ergometrine was used exemplarily as it represents one of the six ergot alkaloids predominantly formed by Claviceps purpurea. The main reaction product, the less polar compound of the two lumiergometrine epimers, was separated by HPLC and unambiguously identified as 10-(S)-lumi-ergometrine using X-ray structural analysis. A HPLC-MS/MS method was developed for the detection of this substance in sclerotia extracts. Using this method, the existence of both epimeric forms of lumiergometrine could be proved in the sclerotia. This is the first time that the existence of a lumi-transformation product of ergot alkaloids was proved in naturally grown samples.

This article describes the preparation of the materials, provides the results of the homogeneity and stability studies, and presents and discusses the outcome of the certification studies.

For alternariol and alternariol monomethyl ether, but not for altenuene, degradation products, formed through a sequence of hydrolysis and decarboxylation, could be identified in pilot studies. The simultaneous quantification of alternariol, alternariol monomethyl ether, altenuene, and the degradation products was achieved by a newly developed high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) multimethod. The obtained quantitative data indicate that the Alternaria mycotoxins are barely degraded during wet baking, while significant degradation occurs upon dry baking, with the stability decreasing in the order alternariol monomethyl ether > alternariol > altenuene. The novel degradation products could be detected after the wet baking of flour spiked with alternariol and in a sample survey of 24 commercial cereal based baking products.

The level of total SO2 is subject to regulation. Currently, the regulatory determination of total SO2 (including sulfites) is done by the optimized Monier–Williams (OMW) method, which includes time-consuming distillation and titration steps. This paper describes the development and application of an alternative, rapid, straightforward, and reliable method for the determination of total sulfite in wine. In this method, a simple oxidation step using alkaline hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution is followed by ion chromatographic (IC) analysis of sulfate coupled with conductometric detection. Thirteen wines were analyzed in order to compare the in-sample oxidation method with the OMW-procedure. A t-test revealed satisfying compliance regarding sample preparation, i.e., alkaline H2O2 treatment and acidic distillation (OMW method). Comparable results were also obtained between IC analysis and acid/base titration. Our results indicate that the novel method (limit of quantification: 4 mg SO2 L-1) is well suited for the cost-efficient monitoring of regulatory limits.

In this work we investigated the commercial product by liquid chromatography-solid phase extraction-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-mass spectrometry (LC-SPE-NMR/MS). The commercial product was separated into 17 fractions by liquid chromatography (LC). After chromatographic separation, 5% of the flow was split to a mass spectrometer (MS) while 95% was send to post-column solid phase extraction cartridges for enrichment of the analytes (LC-SPE). After elution from the SPE-cartridges a NMR-spectrometer equipped with a cryo-probe was used for the characterisation of the different LASs species. For the first time H-1-1D and H-H-COSY spectra for 14 LASs species out of 20 major isomers are presented, whereas the 6 remaining species are detected as mixtures in 3 H-1-1D and H-H-COSY spectra. These data were used to correlate the chromatographic retention of the LASs isomers to the substitution pattern of the alkyl chain.

The hydrolytically formed iso-deacetyl TA (iso-DTA, epimeric mixture) was found to be the stable end product of l-TA degradation under the conditions of this study. This indicates that iso-DTA as well as the l-TA epimer u-TA are formed in aqueous beverage matrices.

The molecule possesses a chiral C atom, although the structure determination was performed on racemic material, expressed in the structure as disordered chiral sites. The asymmetric unit consists of four AHTN-OH molecules containing an hydroxy group and forming a tetrameric cyclic motif built up by four strong hydrogen bonds between these hydroxy groups and additionally by two weak C–H···π interactions. Furthermore, these tetramers are linked via very weak C–H···π interactions, forming chains along the c axis.

Dazu werden repräsentative Referenzmaterialien für die Laboranalytik aus Granulaten verschiedener Kabelzerlegeprozesse hergestellt und charakterisiert. Die Methodenentwicklung umfasst mahl-, sieb- und schüttguttechnologische Aspekte sowie den Vergleich unterschiedlicher Extraktionsverfahren und chromatographischer Bedingungen. Das validierte Verfahren sieht die Mahlung der technischen Probe auf eine Kornobergrenze von 0,50 mm gefolgt von Extraktion mit einem unpolaren Lösungsmittel bei einer Einwaage von 4 g und gaschromatographischer Bestimmung vor. Die Bestimmungsgrenzen liegen zwischen 0,01 und 0,08 mg/kg. Bei sorgfältiger Wahl der chromatographischen Bedingungen sind Elektroneneinfang- und massenselektive Detektion (MS) gleichwertig. In Gegenwart größerer Mengen bestimmter Komponenten, die in einigen Kabeln enthalten sind, kann der Einsatz eines MS von Vorteil sein. Drei Referenzmaterialien mit Gehalten der genannten Kongenere zwischen 0,1 bis 5 mg/kg werden in einem abschließenden Ringversuch zur Validierung dieser Methode mit 23 ausgewählten Laboratorien eingesetzt. Dabei ergeben sich für die Quantifizierung dieser Kongenere relative Vergleichsstandardabweichungen zwischen 15 und 33 %. Das Verfahren wird in die europäische Normung (CEN 292 „Characterisation of Waste“) eingebracht.

HBCD isomers were quantified using HPLC-MS/MS (ESI-) after separation on a combination of a reversed phase and a chiral analytical column. The degradation of all six isomers followed first-order kinetics and the estimated half-lives ranged from 6.3 min for both β-HBCD enantiomers to 32.3 min in case of (+)-γ-HBCD. (+)-α- and (–)-γ-HBCD displayed significantly shorter half-lives than their corresponding antipodes. It could be shown that this degradation led to a significant enrichment of the first eluting enantiomers (–)-α- and (+)-γ-HBCD. Individual patterns of mono- and dihydroxylated derivatives obtained from each α- and γ-HBCD enantiomer were seen to be distinctly characteristic. The patterns of monohydroxylated HBCD derivatives detected in liver and muscle tissues of pollack, mackerel and in herring gull eggs were largely similar to those observed in the in vitro experiments with rat liver microsomes. This enabled individual hydroxy-HBCDs to be assigned to their respective parent HBCD enantiomers.

T1 - Comparison of volatile organic compounds from lung cancer patients and healthy controls—challenges and limitations of an observational study N2 - The design and operation of an observational study on the profiles of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the breath of 37 lung cancer patients and 23 healthy controls of similar age is outlined. The necessity to quantify each VOC considered as potential disease marker on basis of individual calibration is elaborated and the quality control measures required to maintain reproducibility in breath sampling and subsequent instrumental trace VOC analysis using SPME-GC-MS over a study period of 14 months are described. 24 VOC were quantified on basis of their previously suggested potential as cancer markers. The breath concentration levels of aromatic compounds was expectedly increased in smokers while lung cancer patients displayed significantly increased levels of oxygenated VOC such as aldehydes, 2-butanone and 1-butanol. Though sets of selected oxygenated VOC displayed sensitivities and specificities between 80 and 90% using linear discriminant analysis with leave-one-out cross validation the effective selectivity of the breath VOC approach with regard to cancer detection is clearly limited. Results were discussed against the background of the literature on volatile cancer marker investigations and the prospects to link increased VOC levels in patients’ breath with approaches to employ sniffer dogs. Experiences from this study and the literature suggest that the current state of breath VOC based discrimination between cancer patients and healthy controls is hardly improvable. Observational studies tend to observe significant differences mostly in levels of certain oxygenated VOC but without resolution required for practical application. Any step towards practicable exploitation of VOC profile differences for illness detection would have to solve current restrictions set by the low and variable VOC concentrations. Further challenges are the technical complexity of studies involving breath sampling and possibly the limited capability of current analytical procedures to detect instable marker candidates.

EOX ist ein für die rasche Bewertung der Organochlor- Belastung kontaminationsverdächtiger Flächen wertvoller Summenparameter, der sämtliche mit organischen Lösungsmittel extrahierbare Organohalogenverbindungen erfasst. Gegenwärtig existiert jedoch kein für die Bodenanalytik genormtes Verfahren für die Durchführung von EOX-Bestimmungen. Daher wird in der Praxis auf das für Schlämme und Sedimente entwickelte Verfahren nach DIN 38414 S17 (1990) zurückgegriffen, so auch in der Bundesbodenschutz- und Altlasten-Verordung (BBodSchV). Literaturangaben und Erfahrungen mit der Wiederfindungsrate polarer Extraktionsmittel und moderner Extraktionsverfahren bei Organochlorpestiziden, die eine bedeutende Quelle für EOX in Schlämmen und Böden darstellen, lassen vermuten, dass das genannte Normverfahren systematisch zu Unterbefunden neigen könnte. Für die Untersuchungen wurden an der BAM entwickelte Boden-Referenzmaterialien mit "natürlicher", über jahrzehntelangen Eintrag entstandener DDT- und Lindan-Belastung verwendet. Neben den klassischen Extraktionsverfahren nach Soxhlet kamen die ultraschallunterstützte Extraktion, die Mikrowellen- und die beschleunigte Lösungsmittelextraktion (ASE) jeweils mit Lösungsmitteln unterschiedlicher Polarität zum Einsatz. Extraktionsausbeuten und Wiederholpräzision der einzelnen Varianten wurden verglichen und vor dem Hintergrund der Ergebnisse unabhängiger Verfahren wie der gaschromatographischen Bestimmung der einzelnen Organochlorverbindungen bewertet. Die Polarität des Extraktionsmittels weist auch bei trockenen Böden den größten Einfluss auf die Extraktionsausbeuten der in den untersuchten Proben enthaltenen Organochlorverbindungen auf. Die Mischung Hexan/Aceton (1:1), die sich für die Extraktion verschiedener organischer Parameter bewährt hat, ist hinsichtlich der EOX-Analytik der existierenden Norm überlegen.
