Abstract

The gas chromatography of spectrometry mass is one of the selected methods for analyzing trihalomethanes (THMs) in supplied water. Today, the combination of this method with the head-space technique (HS-GC-MS) has been found to have many advantages. It is a modern method for analyzing THMS in water without the solvent extraction step, which makes environmental pollution. The results showed the greatest sensitivity obtained in the following conditions: incubation temperature 52oC, incubation time 41 mins, NaCl concentration 3,5g/10ml. These optimal conditions are used to analyze THMS in some supplied water samples in Ho Chi Minh city.
