Onsite Identification of Air Pollutants in Plastic Sports-Field Using Portable Gas ChromatographyMass Spectrometry via Drone-Based Solid-Phase Microextraction Sampling

  • 摘要: 在高温环境下,塑胶运动场通常会持续释放对人体健康构成潜在健康风险的挥发性有机物。本研究采用无人机载固相微萃取-便携式气相色谱-质谱联用技术现场分析塑胶运动场的空气污染物,检测出挥发性空气污染物苯并噻唑和苯,并使用标准品与标准谱图验证。实验进一步考察了方法的稳定性、灵敏度和定量检测等性能,并测定了几个运动场的空气污染物含量。此外,还考察了在不同高度和不同气温条件下苯并噻唑和苯的扩散与分布。结果发现,苯并噻唑和苯污染物主要集中于近地面,并且主要在高温条件下产生。无人机载固相微萃取-便携式气相色谱-质谱联用技术能够快速测定不同空域中的空气污染物及其分布情况,有望为复杂环境条件下污染物的现场分析提供新途径。

     

    Abstract: Plastic sports-fields are commonly used in communities, schools and other public places nowadays, which can offer positive benefits to fitness and sports. Plastic sports-fields are usually made of petroleum-based materials. Under high-temperature weather, various potentially harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be released to the ambient air, which pose a potential health risk to people who are on the plastic sports-field or living near the plastic sports-field. In our previous work, an analytical tool for onsite investigation of air pollutants was developed by drone-based solid-phase microextraction (drone-SPME) coupled with portable gas chromatographymass spectrometry (PGC-MS). In this work, the drome-SPME-PGC-MS method was further used to analyze the air pollutants in the plastic sportsfield. The volatile air pollutants such as benzothiazole and benzene were identified by NIST standard spectra and standard substances. The results showed that benzothiazole was released from the ground material of plastic sports-fields, while benzene was mainly released from the paint that was painted at the fence of plastic sports-fields. Analytical performances, such as sensitivity, reproducibility, and quantitation were investigated using drone-SPME-PGC-MS. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of benzene (1.0 μg/L) and benzothiazole (1.0 μg/L) were 13.2% and 11.4% (n=6), respectively, indicating the high reliability of drone-SPME for air sampling. The limits of detection (LODs) of benzene and benzothiazole were 0.036 μg/L and 0.088 μg/L (S/N=3), respectively, showing good sensitivity for air analysis. The different concentrations of benzene and benzothiazole in a glass container were detected using this method, showing good linear responses (benzene: 0.044-2.20 μg/L, R2=0.992 9; benzothiazoles: 0.10-2.10 μg/L, R2=0.993 7). Moreover, benzene and benzothiazole in the air at different plastic sportsfields were quantitative detected by established drone-SPME-PGC-MS. Furthermore, the releases and distributions of benzothiazole and benzene at different temperatures (33, 12 ℃) and different heights (0.5-40 m) were investigated, showing that these air pollutants were mainly distributed at the ground layer (≤ 5 m) and were mainly released at high-temperature conditions (33 ℃). Overall, the drone-SPME-PGC-MS is a promising analytical method for the onsite investigation of air pollutants at the plastic sports-fields.
