To explore the geographical distribution and temporal trends of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in the Great Lakes, lake trout from Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Ontario and walleye from Lake Erie, collected during the period of 1980-2000, were analyzed. The concentrations of fifteen PBDE congeners and one polybrominated biphenyl (PBB-153) were determined in each fish sample. Lake trout from Lakes Michigan and Ontario had the highest

An easy, simple, and highly efficient on-line preconcentration method for acidic compounds in capillary electrophoresis was investigated. It combined two on-line concentration techniques, field-amplified sample injection (FASI) and sweeping. A low-pH (2.5) background electrolyte was used to suppress the electroosmotic flow (EOF), obviating the need of a coated capillary, as well as to neutralize the weakly acidic analytes. After injection of a plug of water inside the separation capillary, negative voltage was applied to initialize FASI for a much longer time than usual. The anions experienced a high electric field and moved quickly to the boundary of the water and the low-pH nonmicellar electrolyte. When the anions encountered the low-pH electrolyte, they were neutralized and a focused sample zone was formed. Then both inlet and outlet vials were changed to those Containing the lowp Hmicellar background electrolyte. As negative voltage was applied, the anionic micelles moved into the capillary, and sweeping and separation began. The novelty in the present procedure is that a low-pH buffer is used to suppress the EOF and also the ionization of the analytes, without need of any other additives or use of a coated capillary. This method afforded 100 000-fold improvement in peak heights for some phenoxy acidic herbicides. The detection limits for these compounds could be low as 100pg/mL.

Two brominated flame retardants, 1,2-bis (2,4,6-tribromophenoxy) ethane (TBE) and 2,3,4,5,6-pentabromoethylbenzene (PEB), were detected and identified in ambient air samples from various sites in the United States. The identifications were confirmed by comparing the gas chromatographic retention times and mass spectra of the compounds found in the environment with those of authentic materials. Generally, the TBE concentrations in air were comparable to those of tetra-through hexabrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and often higher than those of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209). The atmospheric TBE concentrations at locations in the southern United States were higher than those in the northern United States. TBE was also found in a sediment core from Lake Michigan; the concentrations of TBE increased with time, were lower than those of BDE-209, but were 10 times higher than the sum of BDE-47, -99, and -100. The maximum PEB concentration in Chicago air was 550pg/m3, which was 10 times higher than the concentration of total PBDEs in this sample. In general, the concentrations of PEB in air samples were low but detectable and were less than those of PBDEs. PEB was not found in the sediment core from Lake Michigan. These occurrences of relatively high concentrations of TBE and PEB in environmental samples may reflect the increasing usage of these compounds as flame retardants.

This paper describes a novel method that applies fieldamplified sample injection (FASI) in micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with a low pH background electrolyte (BGE). Six phenolic compounds prepared in water or NaOH solution were used as the test analytes. Sample was injected electrokinetically after the introduction of a plug of water. During the injection, the water plug was pumped out of the capillary inlet by the electroosmotic flow, and the phenolic anions migrated very quickly in the direction of the outlet. When the anions reached the boundary between the water plug and BGE, they were neutralized and ceased moving. Thereafter, MEKC was initiated for the separation. This on-line preconcentration method could be conveniently coupled with a liquid-liquid-liquid microextraction procedure, in which a hollow fiber was used as an extraction solvent support to extract the analytes from the water sample. The acceptor phase consisted of 8mM NaOH. After extraction, the extract was analyzed directly by MEKC, as described.

A simple liquid-liquid-liquid microextraction device utilizing a 2cm 30.6mm I.D. hollow fiber membrane was used to preconcentrate nitrophenols from water sample prior to capillary liquid chromatography (cLC) analysis. The extraction procedure was induced by the pH difference inside and outside the hollow fiber. The donor phase outside the hollow fiber was adjusted to pH~1 with HCl; the acceptor phase was NaOH solution used at various concentrations. Organic solvent was immobilized into the pores of the hollow fiber. With stirring, the neutral nitrophenols outside the fiber were extracted into the organic solvent, then back extracted into 2ml of basic acceptor solution inside the fiber. The acceptor phase was then withdrawn into a microsyringe and injected into the cLC system directly. This technique used a low-cost disposable extraction "device" and is very convenient to operate. Up to 380-fold enrichment of analytes could be achieved. This procedure could also serve as a sample clean-up step because large molecules and basic compounds were not extracted into the acceptor phase. The RSD (n56) was less than 6.2%, while the linear calibration range was from 1 to 200 mg/ml with r.0.998. The procedure was applied to the analysis of seawater.
