[Determination of ten bisphenols and five parabens in urine by solid supported liquid-liquid extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry].

Bisphenols (BPs) and parabens (PBs) are of great concern for environmental pollution and human health because of their endocrine-disrupting effects and potential health hazards. Urinary biomonitoring of BPs and PBs can provide basic data for human internal exposure evaluation, which is a prerequisite for accurately assessing their health risks. In this study, we developed a new pretreatment procedure based on solid supported liquid-liquid extraction (SLE) for the simultaneous separation of ten BPs and five PBs in human urine, followed by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis. In the instrumental analysis, the HPLC conditions and MS/MS parameters were comprehensively optimized. Accurate qualitative and quantitative determination of ten BPs and five PBs was achieved by introducing a ternary gradient elution system of water, methanol, and acetonitrile for LC separation. During sample pretreatment, the extraction solvent and elution volume were optimized. Specifically, urine samples were held at room temperature and centrifuged at 3000 r/min for 10 min. The supernatant (2 mL) was then transferred to a glass tube, and the pH was adjusted to 5.0 using HCl (0.5 mL; 0.1 mol/L) and NaAc-HAc buffer (1.5 mL). Thereafter,
