Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as a kind of persistent organic pollutants have high teratogenic, carcinogenic, mutagenic properties, as well as high octanol/water partition coefficient and sediment/water partition coefficient, causing serious threat to human health and water environment. In this study, the feasibility of Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology combined with chemometrics for quantitative analysis and carcinogenic risk estimation of PAHs in water with complex matrix was explored. Firstly, 36 water samples from lake, tap, and distilled water were prepared, and then nano-silver particles (Ag NPs) were mixed with samples. The integrated strategy of spectral preprocessing was adopted to remove spectral interference, and variable selection algorithm was used to extract the information effectively, thus improving the prediction performance of the random forest (RF) calibration model for PAHs quantitative analysis and carcinogenic risk. The final results indicated that RF combined with spectral preprocessing integration strategy and variable selection had better predictive performance compared with the Raw-RF model. For phenanthrene (Phe) and benzo[a]anthracene (BaA) analysis, the optimal calibration model was WT-SG-SiPLS-VIM-RF (Phe: mean relative error of prediction (MREp) = 0.0646, coefficient of determination of prediction (R2p) = 0.9658; BaA: MREp = 0.0949, R2p = 0.9537). SG-WT-SiPLS-VIM-RF model (MREp = 0.0992, R2p = 0.9551) showed a better predictive performance for fluoranthene (Flu). WT-SG-VIM-RF model (MREp = 0.0902, R2p = 0.9409) showed excellent performance for assessing the carcinogenic risk of PAHs. Therefore, the combination of SERS technology and chemometrics provides a new approach for analyzing PAHs.
期刊介绍:
Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems publishes original research papers, short communications, reviews, tutorials and Original Software Publications reporting on development of novel statistical, mathematical, or computer techniques in Chemistry and related disciplines.
Chemometrics is the chemical discipline that uses mathematical and statistical methods to design or select optimal procedures and experiments, and to provide maximum chemical information by analysing chemical data.
The journal deals with the following topics:
1) Development of new statistical, mathematical and chemometrical methods for Chemistry and related fields (Environmental Chemistry, Biochemistry, Toxicology, System Biology, -Omics, etc.)
2) Novel applications of chemometrics to all branches of Chemistry and related fields (typical domains of interest are: process data analysis, experimental design, data mining, signal processing, supervised modelling, decision making, robust statistics, mixture analysis, multivariate calibration etc.) Routine applications of established chemometrical techniques will not be considered.
3) Development of new software that provides novel tools or truly advances the use of chemometrical methods.
4) Well characterized data sets to test performance for the new methods and software.
The journal complies with International Committee of Medical Journal Editors'' Uniform requirements for manuscripts.
