Abstract

A simple and selective method was developed for determination of the concentration of 2,4-xylenol in river and sea water samples using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Trace amounts of 2,4-xylenol were collected in a Oasis HLB Plus cartridge, eluted with acetonitrile. The method detection limit of 2,4-xylenol was 1.4 ng/L. The trace peaks of 2,4-xylenol were found in water samples from the river and the sea, and the concentrations were all less than 1.4 ng/L. The nine peaks of the 2,3-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, 3,5-xylenol, and o-, m-, p-ethyl phenol that gave the same m/z ratio were separated efficiently.
