Abstract

A fully-automated on-line solid phase extraction liquid chromatographic/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric method for the analysis of estrone (E1), 17-β-estradiol (β-E2), 17-α-ethinylestradiol (EE2), 17-α-estradiol (α-E2) and estriol (E3) in surface water and wastewater was developed. The method showed a very good linearity from 250. ng/L down to compound specific quantification limits, which were included between 0.25 and 2.00. ng/L. These limits were obtained with 2.5. mL aliquots of injected sample and the total analysis time per sample was slightly less than 10. min. Under these conditions, detection limits were 0.15. ng/L for E1, 0.31. ng/L for β-E2, 0.52. ng/L for EE2, 0.59. ng/L for α-E2 and 0.95. ng/L for E3. The method reliability was tested on different kinds of real samples spiked with the estrogens, obtaining recoveries approximately included between 71 and 95%. The application to samples collected in rivers, lakes and wastewater treatment plants evidenced the presence of the investigated compounds at sub-ng/L or low ng/L concentration levels
