✦ Synopsis


In this work, a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method for the extraction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from water samples has been developed. Fifty-five volatile compounds (from the sixty listed in EPA method no. 524.2) were extracted from aqueous solutions using an SPME fiber coated with Carboxen-polydimethylsiloxane (Carboxen-PDMS), 75 mm film thickness. Time of sampling and chromatographic separation conditions were optimised. Standard solutions of VOC mixtures with concentrations as low as 0.05 ppb were analysed and their signal/noise ratios measured. Linearity of response for each component of the mixture was tested and mass spectral quality evaluated. A comparison with purge and trap analysis of VOCs was made. The method was applied to real-world samples of drinking, surface and leaching waters.
