Contact with thermal printing paper is a relevant source of dermal exposure to unbonded bisphenol A (BPA). In order to limit this exposure route, the European Union has introduced a drastic reduction in the maximum allowed concentration of BPA in thermal paper produced after beginning of year 2020. This study investigates the suitability of direct analysis in real time (DART), combined with accurate mass spectrometry, as a faster alternative to chromatography-based methods for the quantitative determination of BPA, and three analogues species, in receipts and tickets usually printed on thermal paper. The ionization efficiency of these compounds is evaluated under different conditions, and the effect of instrumental parameters of the DART source in the observed responses is discussed. The yield of the DART desorption-ionization process was greatly improved when compounds are previously converted into their acetyl derivatives; thereafter, the temperature of electronically excited helium atoms was the most relevant of the evaluated instrumental parameters. Under optimized conditions, the reported method provided recoveries in the range from 90 to 110%, a limit of quantification of 0.004% (w:w), well below the maximum concentration established after 2020 for BPA (0.02%, w:w), and permitted to perform duplicate determinations of each sample extract with a response time around 1 min. The accuracy of BPA levels found in non-spiked samples was confirmed using GC-EI-MS as reference technique. BPA was systematically noticed in the processed samples with concentrations ranging from 0.005% to more than 6%.
