Abstrakt: A rapid and efficient sample preparation method, which is called microwave-assisted microsolid phase extraction, was developed for the determination of endocrine disrupting chemicals in atmospheric particulate matter. The endocrine disrupting chemicals included bisphenol A, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate. The endocrine disrupting chemicals were isolated by microwave-assisted extraction following adsorption by copper(II) isonicotinate using microsolid phase extraction. The endocrine disrupting chemicals were subsequently determined by high performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet detector. The extraction was optimized for temperature, time, desorption time, and desorption solvent. Limits of detection (in the range of 2.0–8.5 nanograms per liter), limits of quantification (in the range of 6.6–28.0 nanograms per liter), and repeatability of the procedure (less than 10 percent) were established. Diethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were determined at values from 0.57 to 68.8 nanograms per cubic meter in atmospheric particulate matter collected from an urban area, a business center, and an industrial site in Dongguan, China. The concentration of bisphenol A was below the detection limit in these samples. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
