Abstract

P-Phenylenediamines (PPDs) have been extensively used in the rubber industry and found to be pervasive in various environmental compartments for decades, while their transformation products and associated ecological and human health risks remain largely unknown. Herein, we developed and implemented a mass spectrometry-based platform combined with self-synthesized standards for the investigation of rubber-derived quinones formed from PPD antioxidants. Our results demonstrated that five quinones are ubiquitously present in urban runoff, roadside soils, and air particles. All of the identified sources are closely related to mankind’s activities. Among the identified quinones,…
