Mycotoxins are naturally occurring secondary metabolites of fungi colonizing agricultural products on the field or during storage. In earlier work, we have shown that two common mycotoxins, i.e., zearalenone and deoxynivalenol, can be present at significant levels in the aquatic environment. This raises the question about the relevance of a wider range of mycotoxins in natural waters. In this investigation, we present the first validated method for analysis of some additional 30 mycotoxins in drainage, river, and wastewater treatment plant effluent water. The method includes solid-phase extraction over Oasis HLB cartridges, followed by liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Absolute method recoveries for 13 of the 33 mycotoxins were higher than 70% in wastewater treatment plant effluent (at 25 ng/L), and 27 compounds had method detection limits (MDLs) below 10 ng/L. The applicability of this method is illustrated with selected data from our ongoing monitoring campaigns. Specifically and for the first time, beauvericin and nivalenol were quantified in drainage and river water samples with mean concentrations of 6.7 and 4.3 ng/L and 6.1 and 5.9 ng/L, respectively. These compounds thus add to the complex mixture of natural and anthropogenic micropollutants in natural waters, where their ecotoxicological risk remains to be evaluated.
