A new method for the measurement of N-nitrosamines in part-per-trillion concentrations from water samples without preconcentration steps has been developed. This method is based on online UV irradiation after high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and subsequent luminol chemiluminescence detection without addition of an oxidant. It was confirmed that N-nitrosamines in basic aqueous solution were transformed to peroxynitrite by UV irradiation. The detection limits for this method were 1.5ng/L, 2.9ng/L, 3.0ng/L, and 2.7ng/L for N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosomorpholine, N-nitrosomethylethylamine, and N-nitrosopyrrolidine, respectively, at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. The calibration graphs were linear in the range of 5–1000ng/L for these N-nitrosamines. This method was used for the determination of N-nitrosamines in tap water, river water, and industrial plant effluent samples. The recoveries of N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosomorpholine, N-nitrosomethylethylamine, and N-nitrosopyrrolidine present in tap water sample at a concentration of 10ng/L (mean±standard deviation, n=4) were (94.8±2.7)%, (102.0±6.9)%, (99.3±3.9)%, and (102.8±2.5)%, respectively. These results indicate that our proposed method can be applied satisfactorily to the determination of N-nitrosamines in water samples.
