| Abstract | In the present work, a new method is proposed for the analysis of linear (lVMS) and cyclic methylsiloxanes (cVMS) in waters and sediments. The method is based on liquid-liquid extraction followed by gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) using a triple quadrupole analyser (QqQ) working in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The instrumental parameters were optimized taking into account the interaction between different parameters and not only individual effects of variables. The method was validated yielding to convenient linearity and precision (RSD% <16%), and limits of quantification in the low ng/L and ng/g orders for wastewaters and river sediments, respectively. To the author's knowledge it is the first time that GC-MS/MS is used for analyzing methylsiloxanes in waters and sediments. The method was applied to the analysis of surface water and river sediments from the Llobregat River and Riera de Rubí (Catalonia, NE of Spain) and the influents and effluents of 17 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The main results of this study showed that methylsiloxanes were present in all the analyzed wastewater samples, with cVMS being found at higher concentrations. Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) was the predominant compound, the maximum concentration was 8915 ng/L in influent wastewater and treated effluents, and the median concentration was 273 ng/L. Although these samples were collected primarily for method development purposes and have limited statistical value for characterizing spatial and temporal patterns, they represent a significant contribution to dataset needed to verify exposure calculations in environmental risk assessment studies, for a significantly wide range of dimethylsiloxane analytes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
