Abstract

Although nanoplastics are a widespread pollutant, their characterization and quantification in environmental samples remains challenging with no standard approach currently available. Here, we describe a novel workflow for nanoplastic analysis in environmental water samples, incorporating asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation with multiangle light scattering (AF4-MALS) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) in an offline combination. The techniques complement each other as AF4-MALS enables sample cleanup and size separation down to about 1 nm, while Py-GC-MS identifies and quantifies polymers in each size fraction. Such a setup may provide comprehensive information about nanoplastic size distributions and polymer composition within a single workflow. After careful validation using standard polymer particles, we applied the method to wastewater samples. Our results show that the offline AF4-MALS-Py-GC-MS combination can identify certain nanoplastics in a complex environmental matrix. The mass quantification limits depend on the polymer type and range from 0.64 ng for PS to 180 ng for polyolefins. With our workflow, 8.8 ± 1.8 ng/mL polystyrene nanoplastics were quantified and polyvinyl chloride was potentially identified in untreated wastewater. Polyolefin and poly(ethylene terephthalate) signals were below detection limits. While still in its early stages, this novel approach provides a promising foundation for particulate polymer analysis and highlights areas for further refinement, with the low recovery and potential of matrix interferences as drawbacks.

摘要

尽管纳米塑料是一种广泛存在的污染物,但目前尚无标准方法,对环境样品中的纳米塑料进行表征和定量分析仍具有挑战性。在此,我们描述了一种用于环境水样中纳米塑料分析的新型工作流程,该流程将不对称流场流分馏与多角度光散射(AF4-MALS)和热解气相色谱-质谱联用(Py-GC-MS)进行离线结合。AF4-MALS能实现样品净化和低至约1nm的尺寸分离,Py-GC-MS则可对各尺寸级分中的聚合物进行鉴定和定量,二者相互补充。这样的设置可以在单个工作流程中提供有关纳米塑料尺寸分布和聚合物组成的全面信息。在使用标准聚合物颗粒进行仔细验证后,我们将该方法应用于废水样品。结果表明,离线AF4-MALS-Py-GC-MS组合能够在复杂的环境基质中识别某些纳米塑料。质量定量限取决于聚合物类型,从聚苯乙烯的0.64ng到聚烯烃的180ng不等。通过我们的工作流程,在未经处理的废水中定量出了8.8±1.8ng/mL的聚苯乙烯纳米塑料,并可能鉴定出了聚氯乙烯。聚烯烃和聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯的信号低于检测限。尽管该新方法仍处于早期阶段,但它为颗粒聚合物分析提供了一个有前景的基础,并突出了需要进一步改进的方面,其缺点是回收率低和存在基质干扰的可能性。
