Abstract
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with an 85 μm polyacrylate fiber, coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was used to determine six phthalate esters and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate in water samples. The variables affecting the SPME absorption process were optimized and the method developed was applied to analyze both tap and commercial mineral water samples as well as water from the Ebro river and fishing and industrial ports. For real samples, the linear range in full scan acquisition mode was between 0.02 and 10 μg l −1 for most compounds, and the limits of detection of the method were between 0.006 and 0.17 μg l −1. Commercial water samples contained in recipients which were made from different materials were analyzed, and the influence of the material of the recipients on the concentration of phthalates was evaluated.
