Summary

On-line solid phase extraction-gas chromatographymass spectrometry has been used for trace analysis of phenols in water samples at the low ng L−1 level. Phenols have been derivatized by in-sample acetylation prior to an automatic SPE-GC-MS procedure. The method was validated with 26 alkyl, chloro and mononitrophenols including 4-nonylphenol and 17-ethinylestradiol. Target analysis was performed by time-scheduled, selected ion monitoring. The on-line SPE-GC approach resulted in low sample volume (typically 10 mL), good reproducibility, sensitivity and considerable saving of reagents, material and manual work.
