A simple, low cost, fast and sensitive method is reported for the determination of the four endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) 4-tert-butylphenol, 4-tert-octylphenol, bisphenol A and 17β-estradiol using pentafluoropyridine as the derivatizing reagent. These EDCs were determined by simultaneous extraction and derivatization in a solid phase analytical derivatization (SPAD) technique without the aid of any phase transfer catalyst (PTC) or an ion-pair mechanism. Recoveries of analytes as their tetrafluoropyridyl derivatives from water ranged from 71% for 4-tert-butylphenol to 106% for 17β-estradiol; from urine they ranged from 61% for 17β-estradiol to 91% for 4-tert-octylphenol; and from humic acids solution the ranged from 59% for 17β-estradiol to 104% for 4-tert-octylphenol in humic acid solutions. Calibration curves were constructed from a matrix of human male urine in the range 1-40 ng/mL and had coefficients of correlation greater than 0.99. For 4-tert-butylphenol, bisphenol A and 17β-estradiol the limits of quantitation were 5 ng/mL and for 4-tert-octylphenol it was 1 ng/mL. This method was applied to determine EDCs and detected 4-tert-octylphenol, bisphenol A and 17β-estradiol in concentrations comparable to those found in the literature. The method offers advantages in speed of analysis, reduced reagent and specificity of derivatization.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
