Abstract
DETERMINATION OF PLASTICIZERS IN DRINKING WATER USING GAS
CHROMATOGRAPHY AND MASS SPECTROMETRY. This study investigated the levels of plasticizer endocrine
disruptors (diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and bisphenol A) in drinking water at Paraiba
do Sul River region and release of these compounds from bottled water. An analytical method
employing solid phase extraction and GC/MS was optimized and validated. The results showed that
the method is selective, linear (r(2) > 0.99), precise (RSD < 12%), accurate (recoveries between
62 and 105%), sensitive and robust. Applying the method, the presence of all studied pollutants
in drinking water was observed for the three sampled plasticizers. These plasticizers were not
found in mineral bottled water, before or after storage.
