Abstract: | Summary Different methods for removing interference by humic substances in the analysis of polar pollutants have been compared in the analysis of environmental water by solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a chemically modified polymeric resin coupled on-line to liquid chromatography with UV detection. The methods were based on the use of chemical reagents. The best method was found to be addition of sodium sulphite to humic-containing water before SPE. The appropriate amount of sulphite depends on the amount of humic substances dissolved in the sample—for analysis of 50 mL tap and Ebro river water, respectively, 250 μL and 500 μL 10 % Na2SO3 solution had to be added. In both cases, the recovery values after chemical treatment were similar to those when a Milli-Q-quality water standard was analysed. |
