摘要

Previous wastewater-based epidemiology studies on methcathinone(MC),a controlled substance in many countries,attributed its occurrence in wastewater to its misuse.However,such attribution did not consider the possibility that MC may also come from the transformation of ephedrine(EPH)and pseudo-ephedrine(PEPH).In this work,EPH/PEPH and MC in wastewater of six major Chinese cities were systematically'examined.EPH/PEPH concentrations in all the cities showed clear seasonal variations,with maximum and minimum concentrations observed in winter and summer,respectively.In contrast,MC concentrations were the lowest in winter,leading to minimum concentration ratios between MC and EPH/PEPH in winter.Lack of MC seizure in the cities suggests that MC abuse could not account for the ubiquitous detection of the substance in the wastewater of these cities.Batch experiments confirmed EPH/PEPH transformation into MC in wastewater.The significantly lower transformation rate at a lower temperature was consistent with low MC concentrations in winter.These results indicate that when monitoring MC through wastewater,EPH/PEPH concentrations must be determined simultaneously to avoid false identification of MC abuse.The observed ratios of MC to EPH/PEPH concentrations in this work may be used to determine MC abuse.Alternatively,other biomarkers(e.g.,cathinone)may be considered to avoid interference from EPH/PEPH transformation.
