Abstract Representative samples of groundwater at the junction of the Yangtze River and Hanjiang River in Wuhan urban area were collected. Solid phase extraction coupled with gas chromatography was used to determine trace phthalate esters (PAEs) in groundwater samples, with linear range from 1ng/L to 1,000ng/L, limits of detection with standard solution of 226341ng/L under full scan acquisition mode. Results showed that three main species of PAEs were detected in groundwater including DBP, DEHP and DIBP. Concentration of DBP in S1 reached to 1,023.8ng/L, concentration of DEHP in S4 reached to 481.0ng/L and concentration of DIBP in S9 reached to 237.8ng/L. Combined with surrounding environment and hydrogeological conditions of the samples, main source of PAEs pollutants in groundwater were analyzed. Results showed that PAEs leaching role in soil, recharge from Hanjiang River, Yangtze River and groundwater as well as organic pollutants leachate from landfill were three main sources of PAEs in groundwater of Wuhan.
