TI  - Determination of phthalates in water using fiber introduction mass spectrometry.
PG  - 188-92
AB  - Fiber introduction mass spectrometry (FIMS)-a direct coupling of SPME and 
      MS-using selective ion monitoring (SIM) was used to detect and quantify 
      dimethylphthalate (DMP), diethylphthalate (DEP) and dipropylphthalate (DPP) in 
      mineral water. In FIMS, a chromatographic silicone septum is the only barrier 
      between ambient and the high-vacuum mass spectrometer, permitting direct 
      introduction of the SPME fiber into the ionization region of the equipment. After 
      their thermal desorption and ionization and dissociation, the extracted 
      phthalates are detected and quantitated by MS. Three types of SPME fibers were 
      screened for best analyte sorption/desorption behaviors: 100 microm 
      polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), 65 microm polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene 
      (PDMS/DVB) and 65 microm Carbowax/divinylbenzene (CW/DVB). The PDMS/DVB and 
      CW/DVB fibers were then evaluated for precision, and quantitative figures of 
      merit were assessed for extractions using the PDMS/DVB fiber, which displayed the 
      best overall performance. FIMS with the PDMS/DVB fiber allows simple extraction 
      and MS detection and quantitation of DMP in water with good linearity and 
      precision, and at concentrations as low as 3.6 microg L(-1). The LD and LQ of 
      FIMS are below the maximum phthalate concentration allowed by the USEPA for 
      drinking water (6 microg L(-1)).
