A sensitive, reliable and robust method for the trace determination of six polar 1H-benzotriazoles and four benzothiazoles in drinking and surface water was developed. These compounds were extracted from water by solid-phase extraction and analyzed by Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Mass Spectrometry using a linear ion trap-Orbitrap hybrid instrument at high resolution of 30,000 FWHM in the full-scan acquisition mode. At least one product ion was simultaneously detected in the linear ion trap at low mass resolution and was used for confirmation of compound identity. The compounds studied are soluble in water, resistant to biodegradation, only partially removed in wastewater treatment and they may pass the water treatment processes in the production of drinking water. The analytes and fo...
