Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are broad-spectrum disinfectants used in a range of everyday materials. Their high usage rates, limited regulation and reporting has meant their environmental release is largely uncontrolled and impact unknown. With links to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and adsorption to wastewater solids (that are recycled), there is a need for more controlled disposal measures and monitoring. These environmental matrixes are highly complex requiring methods that are often laborious and costly to undertake. Using a robust quant. reversed-phase LC-MS/MS method, we have shown that an ‘off the shelf’ QuEChERS product can reliably extract (<10% RSD) aromatic and aliphatic QACs anticipated within municipal, industrial and agricultural waste from water and soil, with reduced matrix effects of 95.7-104.4% for recoveries of up to 53% from soil when combined with extract dilution Therefore, unlike current literature, this work has shown that, with minimal development, the QuEChERS product can provide a rapid, effective and low cost preparation for quantifying QAC pollution and monitoring AMR. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as N-Benzyl-N,N-dimethylhexadecan-1-aminium chloride (cas: 122-18-9COA of Formula: C25H46ClN).
N-Benzyl-N,N-dimethylhexadecan-1-aminium chloride (cas: 122-18-9) belongs to organic chlorides. An organic chloride is an organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine. Their wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties lead to a broad range of names and applications. Organochlorine compounds are lipophylic, meaning they are more soluble in fat than in water. This gives them a high tenancy to accumulate in the food chain (biomagnification).COA of Formula: C25H46ClN
