Synopsis
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), due to their toxicity and persistence in the environment, are particularly important pollutants. Some of these compounds are mutagens, teratogens or carcinogens, while other are responsible for the degradation of organoleptic parameters such as taste and odour of water, which affect its quality. This review focuses on a number of key procedural steps in the analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water samples. From analytical point of view, the most critical step is sample preparation. A wide spectrum of techniques for the isolation and preconcentration of the aforementioned pollutants for trace organic analysis by gas chromatography are presented and discussed. Direct aqueous injection into a capillary column, liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, membrane extraction and headspace analysis are emphasized. The advantages and disadvantages of these techniques are discussed and novel developments are also taken into consideration.
