In recent years, pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) have been detected in diverse environments (including groundwater, river water, and municipal wastewater). In order to evaluate their environmental impact, PPCPs must first be accurately determined. In this study, we focused on developing methods to accurately determine 10 sulfonamide antibiotics: sulfaguanidine, sulfacetamide, sulfadiazine, sulfathiazine, sulfapyridine, sulfamerazine, sulfamethazitie, sulfamethoxazole, sulfadimethoxine, and sulfasalazine. While sulfonamides can easily be determined in pure water, wastewater influent and effluent collected from sewage treatment plants in Burlington and Toronto (Ontario) were found to generate confounding matrix effects. In an effort to overcome these matrix effects, we developed a solid phase microextraction (SPME) method to determine sulfonamides. Of the five different fiber assemblies investigated, the carbowax/divinylbenzene (CW/DVB) fiber produced the optimal response to sulfonamides. The SPME method was further optimized for sorption time (20 min), solution salinity (10%, w/v, KCl), pH (4.5), and static desorption time (30 min). When compared to solid phase extraction (SPE) using MCX cartridges, we observed that despite having higher MDLs and poorer sensitivity, SPME possessed the advantage of speed and reduced solvent usage. Most importantly, in contrast to SPE, when we applied the SPME method to fortified wastewater samples, we were generally able to accurately determine (i.e., recover) those sulfonamides that were present. Therefore, we conclude that SPME is a viable method for overcoming matrix effects in environmental samples. Crown Copyright (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier BX All rights reserved.
