The alkylphenols, chlorophenols, and bisphenol A were determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring (GC/MS-SIM) followed by two work-up methods for comparison: isobutoxycarbonyl (isoBOC) derivatization and tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) derivatization. Eleven endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) of phenols in biological samples were extracted with acetonitrile and then the acetonitrile layer underwent freezing filtration 60 degrees C for 2 hours. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) was used with XAD-4 and subsequent conversion to isoBOC or TBDMS derivatives for sensitivity analysis with the GC/MS-SIM mode. For isoBOC derivatization and TBDMS derivatization the recoveries were 92.3 approximately 150.6% and 93.8-108.3%, the method detection limits (MDLs) of bisphenol A for SIM were 0.062 microg/kg and 0.010 microg/kg, and the SIM responses were linear with the correlation coefficient varying by 0.9755-0.9981 and 0.9908-0.9996, respectively. When these methods were applied to mackerel samples, the concentrations of the 11 phenol EDCs were below the MDL.

Cold plasma-based ionization techniques allow for soft ionization of a wide variety of chemical compounds. In this chemical ionization mechanism, the atmosphere plays a crucial role in ionization. Knowing its influence is critical for the optimization of analysis conditions and interpretation of resulting spectra.

Phenols are significant environmental endocrine disruptors that can have adverse health effects on exposed individuals. Correlating phenol exposure to potential health implications requires the development of a comprehensive and sensitive analytical method capable of analyzing multiple phenols in a single sample preparation and analytical run. Currently, no such method is available for multiple classes of phenols due to electrospray ionization (ESI) limitations in concurrent ionization and lack of sensitivity to certain phenols, particularly alkylphenols.

A porous water-compatible molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) coating using catechol as a pseudo-template and a water-soluble functional monomer (4-vinyl benzoic acid) with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the crosslinker was developed for extraction of phenols from environmental water samples. The MIP devices were combined with ultra high performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector (UHPLC-PDA) suitable for the simultaneous determination of trace levels of phenolic compounds with a wide range of polarities -phenol, alkylphenols and chlorophenols- in seawater and produced water. Parameters that influence extraction efficiency (salinity, pH, polymer mass, desorption solvent, and desorption time) were optimized to give method detection limits (LOD) ranging from 0.

A new cationic gemini surfactant-resorcinol/formaldehyde resin was designed and synthesized. Cationic gemini surfactant was introduced into the resorcinol/formaldehyde resin for the first time and led to the retention of negatively charged endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) through electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions. The synthesized material showed good performance in the dispersive micro-solid phase extraction (D-μ-SPE) of EDCs such as alkylphenol and phenoxy acid herbicides from food packaging migrants.

Understanding the bioactivation mechanisms to predict toxic metabolites is critical for risk assessment of phenolic endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). One mechanism involves ipso-substitution, which may contribute to the total turnover of phenolic EDCs, yet the detailed mechanism and its relationship with other mechanisms are unknown. We used density functional theory to investigate the P450-catalyzed ipso-substitution mechanism of the prominent xenoestrogen bisphenol A.
