Abstract
A senior-level undergraduate laboratory experiment that demonstrates the use of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was developed for the quantitative determination of bromoform in swimming pool water. Bromoform was extracted by SPME from the headspace of vials containing sodium chloride-saturated swimming pool water. Bromoform concentrations were determined from comparisons of peak areas on a student-generated calibration curve. Students compared results to OSHA water and air exposure limits for bromoform.
