PG - 6366-72 LID - 10.1016/j.chroma.2010.08.012 [doi] AB - A simple and rapid extraction procedure was developed for determining aldehydes in rainwater samples. This extraction technique involved the use of micro-solid-phase extraction in which the sorbent was held within a polypropylene membrane envelope, followed by high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis. Aldehydes such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde and valeraldehyde were used as model compounds. Extraction conditions were optimized. The method linearity ranged between 0.5 and 50 mugl(-1) with the correlation coefficient of 0.987-0.999. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of the method ranged from 7 to 12%. Method detection limits were in the range of 0.07-0.15 mugl(-1), which is lower than those previously reported for solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometric techniques. The proposed extraction technique was used for determination of aldehydes in rainwater samples to demonstrate the applicability of the method. CI - Copyright (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
