PG - 807-19 AB - An in-line system for trace persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in water was developed by using a laboratory-made hollow fiber membrane (HFM) unit connected with a high-resolution gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (HRGC-MS). The semivolatile organic compound, 4,4'-Dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (4,4'-DDT), was chosen as a representative of a persistent organic compound. The synthetic water contaminated with 4,4'-DDT was passed through the HFM unit, the extraction occurred by the analyte pervaporated and permeated, then stripped into HRGC-MS. Several factors were investigated for the high extraction efficiency. The best performance was obtained at sample and stripping gas flow rates of 6 and 9 mLmin-1, respectively, and desorption temperature of 60 degrees C. At this temperature, the diffusion rate was enhanced by 15 times over 25 degrees C. A wide linear dynamic range was obtained, i.e., 0.10-1.0 mgL-1, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 90 microgL-1. The extraction efficiency of 4,4'-DDT in real water samples was in the range of 83-94%. Real water samples were analyzed and 0.6 microgL-1 of 4,4'-DDT was found in unregistered bottled water and 7.0 microgL-1 in tap water.
