INTRODUCTION Concern about the contamination of freshwater systems by organic compounds is increasing, particularly where public water supplies may be affected. For example, the Ministry of the Environment in the Province of Ontario, Canada, has 0003-2700/92/0384-0349$03.00/0

recently lowered the allowable limit of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) from 14 parts per trillion to 8 ppt. The purpose of this work is to develop a method for the detection of low level concentrations of specific organic compounds directly in water without the requirement of separation or preconcentration. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is not usually considered as a method for analyzing aqueous solutions of very dilute (4Hg/mL) organic solutes, since it is perceived to suffer from certain disadvantagea. First, NMR spectroscopy is inherently less sensitive than other types of spectroscopy because it involves radio-frequency transitions. Second, proton NMR spectra of aqueous solutions are dominated by the water signal (effectively 110 M), which must be suppressed to bring micromolar solute signals within the dynamic range of detection. Third, quantitative measurement of NMR intensities requires very careful data acquisition and analysis.'P2 On the other hand, the rich information content of the spectra gives NMR certain advantages over other analytical techniques. In particular, the high resolution of chemical shifta allows for the analysis of a mixture of similar species without the need for chemical separation. Because NMR is nondestructive, the sensitivity problem can in principle be overcome by accumulating a sufficiently large number of transients. However, in practice one is limited 0 1992 American Chemical Soclety

trometer disk space and processor resources (although less so than a typical 2D experiment). The spectra were therefore transferred and processed off line on IBM-compatible computers, Using the programs NMR-286 and NMRSTAT. NMR-286 is a general-purpose program purchased from Softpulse Software for processing and displaying NMR spectra. NMRSTAT is a program that compiles a set of blocks into average and standard deviation spectra. The data were subjected to a minimal amount of processing. The free induction decays (FIDs) of a block set were first averaged, Fourier-transformed (without multiplication by a window function), and phase-corrected. The half-height line widths of the solute signals were measured from the resultant block average spectrum. The individual FIDs of the block set were then individually processed with an exponential window function using the block average line width as a matched filter constant for optimum sensitivity (see ref 9, p 152). The set of match-filtered spectra were processed by NMRSTAT to yield an average spectrum and a standard deviation spectrum (for example, see Figure 4). For the average spectra the baseline in the immediate neighborhood of a solute line was corrected by taking the average value of an eight-point region of peak-free baseline on either side of the line, estimating the true baseline by linearly interpolating between the two average values, and subtracting this estimated baseline from the spectrum. These same eight-point regions of the baseline were used to calculate RMS noise values and signal to noise ratios. The standard deviation of a peak height was taken by averaging the 21 points in the standard deviation spectrum centered at the corresponding point of maximum intensity in the average spectrum. When operating the system on the verge of the detection limit, where S I N is low, one expects the error to be predominantly random, rather than systematic. This was reflected in the standard deviations. The frequency distribution of standard deviation fluctuated randomly about a constant mean and was not correlated with the average spectrum (Figures4 and 5). Also, the absolute standard deviations did not scale with the NDMA peak height over the concentration range studied (Table 11). The solute concentration was measured by taking the peak height of the NMR line in question divided by the peak height of the TTSM external reference line. The relative merits of using peak heights and peak integrals have been considered in previous work.I6 In the present case, where one is working

near the detection limit, externally referenced peak heights are the superior method because the baseline is obscured by noise. For example, the 1 pg/mL NDMA peak heights had S I N values of about 1 0 1 and standard deviations of about 30%. A theoretical calculation of the correspondingstandard deviation for peak integrals gives a value of about 70%.17 Implicit in the use of peak heights is the assumption that the line widths are constant over the concentration range in question. The linearity of the plots in Figure 2a,b confirms this assumption. The error bars represent 99% confidence levels calculated from the standard deviations by use of the Student's t distribution.18 The upper and lower error limits were extrapolated to zero concentrationby linear regression. The detection limit was estimated by extrapolating the upper error limit to zero concentrationand extrapolatingto that value in the lower error limit (see ref 18, chapter 4). The average of the detection limits for the two NDMA methyl peaks was 510 ng/mL (6.9 X lo+ M). Figure 5 shows the average and standard deviation spectra of a 50 ng/mL (6.4 X M) sample of benzene. The spectra were calculated from 24 blocks, each the average of 256 transients, which required 4 h to acquire. This constitutes the practical limit of instrument time, since the analysis of a real sample would normally require running a blank and at least one standard addition. The standard deviation at the position of the benzene line was 23% of the peak height; the detection limit, estimated as three standard deviations was therefore 35 ng/mL (4.5 X M). The lower detection limit observed for benzene (relative to NDMA) may be attributed to the longer T2of benzene, the fact that the signal arises from six equivalent hydrogens, and the longer acquisition time. The width at half-maximum of the NDMA and benzene peaks was 2.4-2.5 Hz. This corresponds to at least four data points per line width, since the digital resolution was 0.6104 Hz/pt, which should not be a significant source of e r r ~ r . ~ J ' However, to assure that the precision was not limited by digital resolution, the original benzene FID's were zero-filled from 16 to 32 K and reprocessed. The standard deviation at the benzene frequency was then found to be 22% (versus 23% for the 16 K data sets), which is not a signifcant improvement. The practical limit of sensitivity (for this N M R instrument) has been approached. It may be possible to increase sensitivity by going to a larger sample volume. However, we were unable to obtain results from a 10-mm probe because of difficulties in tuning the highly lossy samples. As probe technology improves higher sample volumes may become feasible. A modest increase in sensitivity may result from degassing the samples, which would increase the solute T,'s. However, this advantage would probably be offset by increased error in the concentrationcaused by evaporation of solvent and/or solutes. There may be room to improve the precision of this method. In spite of essentially complete suppression of the water signal, the standard deviation of the peak heights still appears to be limited by the dynamic range of digitization. The dominant signal in the solvent-suppressedspectra is due to the residual protons in the deuterated solvent. One possible solution would be to use high-purity, highly deuterated solvents. This would yield, at best, a 10-fold increase in dynamic range. Altemately, it may be useful to incorporate a presaturation pulse at the solvent frequency into the pulse sequence. No increase in acquisition time would result, and an even higher receiver gain might be possible. However, we have so far found this difficult to implement in practice because the gain became so large that the receiver was overloaded by the slight offsets in dc level arising from imperfections in the tuning of the receiver and amplifier circuits.

may have higher detection limits, since paramagnetic impurities could shorten solute Tz’s. The nondestructive nature of NMR spectroscopy allowed the effect of radiation on a dilute aqueous NDMA sample to be conveniently monitored and the predominant photoproduct (DMA) to be identified. While ‘H NMR spectroscopy will not replace other analytical methods on a routine basis for analyzing dilute solutions, its ability to resolve the chemical components of a solution without an extraction or chemical separation makes it a useful technique for analyzing mixtures of low molecular weight organic compounds.

Flgure 6. ‘H NMR spectra showing the effect of 1 h of 250-nm UV irradiation on a sample of 10 pg/mL NDMA in water. The baseline distortion is due to incomplete suppression of the water peak, since for these spectra a shorter delay time of 40 ms was used. (a) Before irradiation, the NDMA peaks are visible. (b) After irradiation, the dimethylamine (DMA) peak Is visible. The DMA peak was identified by subsequently spiking the sample with DMA.

W irradiation has been proposed as a method for removing nitrosoamines from water.19 NMR spectroscopy provides a convenient method for studying the effect of radiation on dilute aqueous solutions of organics. Figure 6 shows the effect of irradiation on a 10 pg/mL sample of NDMA. Prior to irradiation the two methyl lines of NDMA were observed. After 1h of 250-nm irradiation the NDMA signals vanished and a new line a t 2.44 ppm appeared. This signal was determined (by spiking) to be due to dimethylamine (DMA). These data suggest that W irradiation is effective in removing NDMA from water and that DMA is the predominant photoproduct and are consistent with what has been observed for other nitrosoaminea: W irradiation cleaves the N-N bond.20z1 However, water that has been treated by irradiation should be carefully monitored, since DMA in the presence of nitrosonium ions can reform NDMA.22 CONCLUSION We have demonstrated the feasibility of using high-field lH NMR spectroscopy as a method for the analysis of dilute aqueous organics and have established that practical detection limits are well below 1pg/mL. The WATR method provided the necessary solvent suppression and contributed minimally to experimental error. The use of externally referenced peak heights and block data acquisition produced linear calibration curves. It should be recognized that the detection limits reported here represent the best case scenario. Real samples
