Abstract

Dichloroacetic acid (DCA) is a small, polar compound that individuals are exposed to as a result of drinking water consumption. The occurrence of DCA in drinking water is of concern because DCA has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. To date, no validated LC/MS/MS methods are available for quantitative analysis of DCA. In addition, most methods use a derivatizing reagent that can artificially inflate the levels of DCA. Presented in this paper, is a validated LC/MS/MS method for the analysis of DCA in drinking water. An amino column was used with ion‐exchange hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC).
