PG - 7945-7954 AB - Owing to their stability at high temperature, low biodegradation, low water solubility, and low vapor pressure, substituted diphenylamines are used as antioxidants in rubber, foamed polymers, and as high-temperature functional fluids (e.g., lubricants, gear oils, and hydraulic fluids). There are few existing environmental measurements of these substances in any environmental medium. In this study, a method was developed for the determination of 10 substituted diphenylamines in wastewater, biosolids, and sediments using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The substituted diphenylamines that were measured were two styrenated diphenylamines isomers, three di-styrenated diphenylamine isomers, tert-butyl-diphenylamine, tert-octyl-diphenylamine, di-tert-butyl-diphenylamine, tert-butyl/tert-octyl-diphenylamine, and di-tert-octyl-diphenylamine. The instrument limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) were 0.02-0.1 and 0.06-0.3 ng mL(-1), respectively. Target compounds were spiked into sediment, effluent water, influent water, and biosolids at the 100- and 1000-ng levels (N = 6). Analyte recoveries ranged from 71.5 to 117 % with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 2.12-12.4 %. The method was applied to the analysis of influent, effluent, and biosolid samples; the sum of substituted diphenylamines were 48.1-713, 1.04-28.5 ngL(-1), and 85.3-1184 ngg(-1)dw (median: 71.0, 7.30 ngL(-1), and 402 ngg(-1)dw), respectively. Nine sediment samples collected in Ontario, Canada contained concentrations of the sum of substituted diphenylamines ranging from 1.55 to 897 ngg(-1)dw.
