Interpreting Sources and Endocrine Active Components of Trace Organic Contaminant Mixtures in Minnesota Lakes
INTERPRETING SOURCES AND ENDOCRINE ACTIVE COMPONENTS OF TRACE ORGANIC CONTAMINANT MIXTURES IN MINNESOTA LAKES by Meaghan E. Guyader © Copyright by Meaghan E. Guyader, 2018 All Rights Reserved A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Civil and Environmental Engineering). Golden, Colorado Date _____________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Meaghan E. Guyader Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Christopher P. Higgins Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date _____________________________ Signed: _____________________________ Dr. Terri S. Hogue Professor and Department Head Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering ii ABSTRACT On-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are a suspected source of widespread trace organic contaminant (TOrC) occurrence in Minnesota lakes. TOrCs are a diverse set of synthetic and natural chemicals regularly used as cleaning agents, personal care products, medicinal substances, herbicides and pesticides, and foods or flavorings. Wastewater streams are known to concentrate TOrC discharges to the environment, particularly accumulating these chemicals at outfalls from centralized wastewater treatment plants. Fish inhabiting these effluent dominated environments are also known to display intersex qualities. Concurrent evidence of this phenomenon, known as endocrine disruption, in Minnesota lake fish drives hypotheses that OWTSs, the primary form of wastewater treatment in shoreline residences, may contribute to TOrC occurrence and the endocrine activity in these water bodies. The causative agents specific to fish in this region remain poorly understood. The objective of this dissertation was to investigate OWTSs as sources of TOrCs in Minnesota lakes, and TOrCs as potential causative agents for endocrine disruption in resident fish. -

The method is based on a generic solid-phase extraction procedure, using three sorbent phases in two cartridges that are connected in series, hence covering a wide range of polarities, followed by liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry. The acquisition was performed in the full-scan and data-dependent modes while working under positive and negative ionisation conditions. This method was applied in order to assess the natural toxins in the Ter River water reservoirs, which are used to produce drinking water for Barcelona city (Spain). The study was carried out during a period of seven months, covering the expected prior, during, and post-peak blooming periods of the natural toxins. Fifty-three (53) compounds were tentatively identified, and nine of these were confirmed and quantified. Phytotoxins were identified as the most frequent group of natural toxins in the water, particularly the alkaloids group. -

The work is based on the utilization of ionic liquid ([C4min] PF6) (IL) loaded β-cyclodextrin cross-linked polymer (IL-β-CDCP) for effective adsorption of Chry coupled with ultraviolet spectrophotometry for the analysis of Chry. The inclusion interaction of IL-β-CDCP with Chry is studied by FTIR and 13C-NMR. Under the optimum conditions, linear range, Detection Limit (DL) and the relative standard deviation are 0.10-20.0 μg mL-1, 0.02 μg mL-1, 0.45% (n=3, c=4.0 μg mL-1), respectively. This technique is successfully applied for determination of Chry in drug samples.

In the present study, capillary zone electrophoresis (CE) was applied for the separation and quantification of three isoflavones including daidzein, genistein and formononetin in coffee. Extraction of isoflavones from the coffee sample was carried out by extraction and purification process using ether after the acid hydrolysis with the antioxidant butylated hydroxy-toluene (BHT). The experimental conditions of the CE separation method were: 20 mmol/L Na2HPO4 buffer solution, 25 kV applied voltage, 3 s hydrodynamic injection at 30 mbar, and UV detection at 254 nm. The results show that the three compounds can be tested within 10 min with a linearity of 0.5–50 µg/mL for all three compounds. The limits of detection were 0.0642, 0.134, and 0.0825 µg/mL for daidzein, formononetin and genistein, respectively. The corresponding average recovery was 99.39% (Relative Standard Detection (RSD) = 1.76%), 98.71% (RSD = 2.11%) and 97.37% (RSD = 3.74%).

Thus generation of lipoxygenase enzyme inhibitors have suggested being valuable. Individual variation was identified by the functional effects of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). 696 SNPs were identified from the ALOX12 gene, out of which 73 were in the coding non-synonymous region, from which 8 were found to be damaging. In silico analysis was performed to determine naturally occurring flavonoids such as isoflavones having the basic 3- phenylchromen-4-one skeleton for the pharmacological activity, like Genistein, Diadzein, Irilone, Orobol and Pseudobaptigenin. O-methylated isoflavones such as Biochanin, Calycosin, Formononetin, Glycitein, Irigenin, 5-O-Methylgenistein, Pratensein, Prunetin, ψ-Tectorigenin, Retusin and Tectorigenine were also used for the study. Other natural products like Aesculetin, a coumarin derivative; flavones such as ajoene and baicalein were also used for the comparative study of these natural compounds along with acteoside and nordihydroguaiaretic acid (antioxidants) and active inhibitors like Diethylcarbamazine, Zileuton and Azelastine as standard for the computational analysis. -
