Abstract:Twenty-two CP products with three chlorine contents (CP-42, CP-52, and CP-70) were determined using gas chromatography coupled with electron capture negative ionization mass spectrometry (GC-ECNI-MS), and the distribution patterns of short chain chlorinated paraffin (SCCP) and medium chain chlorinated paraffin (MCCP) homologues were explored. Five classes of distribution patterns, namely, CP-42 type, three CP-52 types, and CP-70 type were found for SCCP homologues. And four classes of distribution patterns, namely, CP-42 type and three CP-52 types were found for MCCP homologues. MCCP homologues in CP-70 products did not show consistent pattern. The reason for distinct homologue patterns in CP products could be attributed to different composition of alkane in paraffin (raw material) and production process. The fingerprint patterns of SCCP and MCCP homologues in CP products were characterized via statistical analysis, which can be useful tools for studies of source identification, migration and transformation, fate, toxicity risk assessment of CPs in the environment.
