Abstract
A gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method was developed for determining 25 semivolatile organic compounds in water. A 1.0 L water sample was placed in a separatory funnel and saturated with NaCl, and the solution was extracted two times with 40 mL of methylene chloride. Under the established condition, the linear quantification range was 0.02-800 ng/L and the relative standard deviation was less than 15%. The method was used to analyze 16 surface water samples collected from various regions in Gum-River. The samples revealed SVOC concentrations in the range of 0.02-96.8 ng/L. Maximum concentrations of VOCs detected were not exceeded the EPA or Germany guidelines in any of the samples. The developed method may be valuable for monitoring SVOCs in water.
