This study developed a new method to determine concentrations of UV-filters in human nail samples, ensuring accuracy and precision through optimized procedures and multivariate techniques. The results revealed that BP-1 and BP-3 mainly bioaccumulate in human nails.
Ultraviolet filters (UV-filters) are specific chemicals that absorb and reflect UVA and UVB radiation from the sun. They are regularly used in sunscreens and in other personal care products (PCPs), and in products like plastics, adhesives, toys, or furniture finishes. This work develops and validates a new method to determine concentrations of UV- filters (BP-1, BP-2, BP-3, BP-6, BP-8, 4-OH-BP, THB, AVB) in human nail samples. Nails are easily available and are considered to be suitable indicators of cumulative and continued exposure to harmful chemicals. The treatment of nail samples includes microwave assisted digestion/extraction (MAE) in a methanolic solution of o-phosphoric acid (0.05 mol L-1) followed by analyte determination using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) in multiple reaction monitoring mode. The analytes were separated in less than 10 min. The digestion procedure was optimized using multivariate techniques. Matrix-matched calibration with a pig hoof matrix was used for validating the method. A study of accuracy with spiked blank samples was also conducted. The calculated detection limits varied between 0.2 and 1.5 ng g(-1), and quantification limits between 1.0 and 5.0 ng g(-1). The trueness of the method was an estimation of the recovery, which was between 90.2% and 112.2%; with an estimated precision (relative standard deviation, % RSD) lower than 12.3% for all UV-filters. Nail samples were obtained from 22 volunteers (male and female). The results showed that BP-1 and BP-3 mainly bioaccumulate in human nails. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
