Simultaneous Determination of Chlorinated and Brominated Acetic Acids in Various Environmental Water Matrixes by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Inductively Coupled Plasma Tandem Mass Spectrometry without Sample Preparation

The halogenated acetic acids (HAAs) are generally considered as environmental contaminants and are suspected to pose a major public health concern. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) has been improved by coupling with the tandem mass spectrometry technology (ICPMS/MS), enabling ultratrace determination of heteroatoms. There have been few reports about the determination of chlorine-containing analytes by high-performance...
