Abstract
Capillary column gas chromatography/high-resolution mass spectrometry was used in two different selected-ion monitoring modes to analyze trace levels of monobromopolychlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (BPCDD/Fs) in municipal waste incinerator (MWI) flyash. The mass profile monitoring mode is well-suited for identification of unknown compounds in uncharacterized matrices because it has superior diagnostic capability. Owing to its high sensitivity, conventional peak top monitoring was used to quantify, on the basis of polychlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) standards, the BPCDD/Fs in the sample. The results were compared with those obtained by using two commercial BPCDDs as standards, and the latter results are 4 times greater, indicating the need for appropriate standards. The high certainty and sensitivity obtained from these two mass spectrometric techniques combined with the resolving power of capillary gas chromatography enabled us to compare for the first time the isomer distribution patterns between BPCDD/Fs and their PCDD/F analogues at a high confidence level. The comparison indicates BPCDD/Fs and PCDD/Fs found in MWI flyash are closely related and that many BPCDD/Fs with a 2,3,7,8-substitution configuration may be present in MWI flyash.
