Abstract
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants which are widely present in environment and harmful to human health. In this study, an efficient and convenient magnetic solid phase extraction method with C60 modified magnetic polyamido-amine (PAMAM) dendrimers as sorbents was established for enriching trace amounts of PCBs in beverage samples. Gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS) was utilized for analysis of PCBs. Parameters affecting extraction efficiency were optimized. Under optimal parameters, good linearity can be achieved in concentration range of 0.001–20 μg L−1 and 0.002–20 μg L−1 for nine selected PCBs. The limits of detection for PCBs were in the range of 0.1–0.2 ng L-1. The spiked recoveries were in the range of 87.0 %–115.1 % (n = 3). The results proved that this established method was reliable for monitoring trace PCBs in beverage samples.
