A simple and rapidmethod employing non-suppressed ion chromatographywith electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry has been developed for the direct determination of trace-level haloacetic acids (HAAs) in water samples. Using 70/30 (v/v) acetonitrile/1 M aqueous methylamine as the mobile phase, three IC columns - AS16, AS18 and AS24 from Thermo-Scientific - were tested, respectively, with the AS16 column exhibiting the best overall performancewith respect to resolution and retention time. To assess the effects ofmobile phase composition on retention time of HAAs, the AS16 column was further tested using (i) different proportions of acetonitrile to aqueous methylamine, (ii) different proportions of acetonitrile to aqueous solution at fixed methylamine concentrations, and (iii) different concentrations of methylamine at fixed proportions of acetonitrile to aqueous solution. With a low proportion of aqueous solution, van der Waals and/or hydrogen-bonding interactions appeared to play an important role in governing HAA retention, i.e., HAAs with relatively higher apparent logK(ow)* caused by elevated solvents (s)(s)pK(a) exhibited longer retention times; whereaswith a high proportion of aqueous solution, ionic interactions appeared to dominate retention of HAAs, with the more polarizable HAAs exhibiting longer retention times. Using 70/30 (v/v) acetonitrile/1 M aqueous methylamine, the method detection limitswere in the range of 0.090-0.216 mu g/L for the 11 selected chloro-, bromo- and iodoacetic acids. Finally, this method was applied to monitor HAAs yields in laboratory chlorination experiments and to determine concentrations of HAAs in tap water and wastewater effluent samples.
