Intensive Spatiotemporal Characterization of the Tire Wear Toxin 6PPD Quinone in Urban Waters.

ABSTRACT: 6PPDQ is a tire-derived contaminant toxic to coho salmon (LC₅₀ = 41-95 ng/L) found widely distributed in urban environments. Most monitoring efforts have relied on relatively few discrete samples collected at select locations across rain events. Early work has revealed that 6PPDQ concentrations vary widely over time and space, raising questions about when and where to collect samples. Here, we employ condensed phase membrane introduction mass spectrometry, a high-throughput analysis approach to characterize spatiotemporal variability of 6PPDQ in urban streams. Analytical method detection limits of 0.3-8 ng/L and a duty cycle of 2.5 min/sample enabled high-throughput adaptive sampling. Temporal sampling revealed dynamic 6PPDQ concentrations, with significant changes occurring ove
