| Abstract: | Cresols are chemical contaminants derivative from phenol which can be found in sewage sludge. However, little attention has been given to monitoring these compounds in environmental matrices in the literature. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a simple method based on solid-liquid extraction with low temperature purification for determining three cresol isomers in sludge. The quantification of these compounds was performed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry with a previous derivatization step. After a detailed study, the cresol recovery was higher than 91%, with relative standard deviation lower than 12% and a limit of quantification of 20 μg kg−1. Linearity was achieved between 10 and 90 μg L−1 (R2 > 0.98) with the standard solutions prepared in matrix extracts due to the trouble caused by the matrix effect. The proposed method was applied with success for monitoring cresols in sewage sludge samples coming from six different wastewater treatment plants. All samples showed contamination by cresols, mainly p-cresol with values between 32.3 and 516.9 μg kg−1. The majority of the analyzed samples showed a total sum of the isomers higher than the maximum residue limit established by Brazilian legislation (160 μg kg−1). |
