Simultaneous Determination of Chlorinated and Brominated Acetic Acids in Various Environmental Water Matrixes by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Inductively Coupled Plasma Tandem Mass Spectrometry without Sample Preparation.

ABSTRACT: The halogenated acetic acids (HAAs) are generally considered as environmental contaminants and are suspected to pose a major public health concern. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) has been improved by coupling with the tandem mass spectrometry technology (ICPMS/MS), enabling ultratrace determination of heteroatoms. There have been few reports about the determination of chlorine-containing analytes by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-ICPMS/MS but none about utilizing this technique for the speciation analysis of organic halogenated compounds in environmental matrixes. We report a rapid method for the simultaneous determination of up to nine chlorinated and brominated acetic acids by HPLC-ICPMS/MS in Austrian surface, ground, and tap water. The chromatog
