The detected compounds comprised oxidized aliphatic chains, like 2-ketones from 10 to 22 carbons. Ketones from 10 to 18 carbons were identified by comparing the fragmentgram of the ion m/z 58 from methyl ketones that correspond with the transposition of the McLafferty on the carbonyl located at the second carbon of each ketone. Those not present in the library as 2-eicosanone and 2-docosanone showed the same fragmentgram m/z 58 and were defined by the equidistance of the peaks along the retention time and their molecular weight (Supplementary Table 1). Furthermore, the presence of 2-ketones was confirmed with GC-MS/MS in MRM mode with the ion with the highest m/z and the exclusive of each molecule as 212 > 58 for 2-tetradecanone, 240 > 59 for 2-hexadecanone, and 282 > 58 for 2-octadecanone. Also, butane, 2,3-Butanediol, 2-trimethylslyl (TMS) derivative, and sebacic acid, 2TMS derivative were identified using sample silylation, indicating the deterioration of the PE chain (Fig. 3C). At the same time, a small aromatic compound recognizable as benzenepropanoic acid, TMS derivative, a plastic antioxidant, was found. Derivative chemicals were confirmed as well using GC-MS/MS with an m/z of 147 > 73, 331 > 73, and 104 > 75, respectively. The presence of this plastic antioxidant suggests an “opening” in the polymeric structures, with the release of small stabilizing compounds normally present in plastics (plastic additives).
