A novel method has been developed for the estimation of N-Nitroso dimethyl amine impurities (NDMA) and N-Nitroso diethyl amine (NDEA) in Zidovudine by using Gas chromatograph Triple Quadrupole Mass with Liquid autosampler (GC-MS/MS) and the method is validated as per International Conference on Harmonization recommendations. Sample analysis was executed for Zidovudine by developed method. Both NDMA and NDEA were detected in below quantitation limit for the Zidovudine batches. Efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on a DB-WAX 30 m length × 0.25 mm internal diameter, 0.5-μm film thickness, Triple quad-8040 GC-MS/MS. Quantification was carried out at Triple quad electron ionization source was at a column flow of 1.5 mL/min at a column oven temperature 50°C. The precision was in the range of 0.9-2.5% for NDMA and 0.8-2.3% for NDEA, and regression analysis shows as r value (correlation coefficient) of is >0.99. This method is capable to detect the NDMA and NDEA impurities in Zidovudine at a level of 0.006 ppm for limit of detection and 0.018 ppm for limit of quantitation with respect to test concentration of 66.66 mg/mL.

Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) have been identified as substances with severe adverse effects, including carcinogenicity, endocrine disruption, and reproductive toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables from Hopelchén to provide evidence for policy recommendations on pesticide regulation. A total of 25 samples were collected and analyzed using the QuEChERS method with GC-MS/MS and LC-MS techniques.

Analysis of Plasticizer Contamination Throughout Olive Oil Production.

Molecules

December 2024

LAQV/REQUIMTE, Department of Chemistry, NOVA School of Science and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal.

This study monitored the contamination of 32 plasticizers in olive oil throughout the production and storage process. Samples were collected at different stages of production from three olive oil production lines in distinct regions of Portugal and analyzed for 23 phthalates and 9 phthalates substitutes to identify contamination sources. The developed analytical method employed liquid-liquid extraction with hexane/methanol (1:4, /), followed by centrifugation, extract removal, and freezing as a clean-up step.

Article Synopsis
  • In recyclable waste management facilities, bioaerosols and microorganisms may be released, posing health risks, with a focus on microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) as potential mold exposure biomarkers.
  • A study compared mVOC concentrations between a recyclable waste sorting plant (WSP) and a university campus (UC), finding 13 mVOCs at WSP versus only 3 at UC, emphasizing the higher levels of contamination at WSP.
  • The research optimized mVOC sampling methods, revealing distinct profiles of mVOCs in contaminated versus non-contaminated environments and identifying specific mVOCs that serve well as biomarkers for mold exposure.
