Abstract

A sensitive method for the determination of 17β-estradiol, estrone and estriol in river water has been developed, based on SPE cartridge extraction and HPLC coupled with negative electron ion spray tandem mass spectrometry(LC/MS/MS)in the multiple reaction monitoring mode(MRM).An internal standard calibration method using a stable isotopic labeled 17β-estradiol was employed for quantitation.The limit of detection(LOD)for these estrogens in river water was 0.3ng/l.Good linearities of the calibration curve were obtained in the concentration range from 0.4ng/l to 80ng/l.The correlation coefficients were>0.995 for all estrogens.The recoveries of these estrogens were 65.9∼96.9%.The relative standard deviations were 5.8∼11.1% for 0.4ng/l, 8.1∼11.8% for 0.8ng/l, 4.2∼12.6ng/l for 1.6ng/l.Using this method, the behavior and occurrence of estrogens in river water and the effluent of sewage treatment plants were investigated in Chikugo-river(Kyusyu, Japan).A few estrogens were detected in the river water by LC/MS/MS, and the levels were ND-0.6ng/l.However, in all samples of sewage-treatment plants, 17β-estradiol and estrone were detected, and the levels were 0.5∼4.2ng/l(17β-estradiol)and 5.3∼35.1ng/l(estrone).On the other hand, 17β-estradiol was detected in most samples, including river water, by ELISA(17/18);the levels in sewage-treatment plants were 6.0∼13.5 times higher than those by LC/MS/MS.The differences in these results might be due to the cross reaction of ELISA.
