A specific method for the determination of bromine and iodine species in drinking water was developed by using high performance liquid chromatography-ICP-MS. An ICS-A23 ion chromatography column was chosen for the separation of species, with the mobile phase being 0.03 mol l-1 ammonium carbonate at a flow rate of 0.8 ml min-1. The detection limits for BrO3-, Br-, IO3- and I- were 0.032, 0.063, 0.008 and 0.012 mu g l-1, respectively. Spectroscopic interferences were only observed in blank samples and mainly resulted from the argon-potassium polyatomic ion (40Ar39K+). However, this interference was negligible because of the elution and complete separation from that of iodinate under optimised conditions. The method developed was successfully applied to twenty-two samples of drinking water obtained from a supermarket. Results indicated that 36.4% of the samples had BrO3- concentrations exceeding the Chinese national limit for drinking water of 10 mu g l-1.Une methode specifique pour la determination des especes bromees et iodees dans l'eau potable a ete developpe en utilisant la chromatographie liquide haute performance associee a un spectrometre de masse utilisant un plasma a couplage inductif comme source d'ionisation (HPLC-ICP-MS). Une colonne de chromatographie ionique ICS-A23 a ete choisie pour la separation des especes, avec la phase mobile representee par 0.03 mol l-1 de carbonate d'ammonium circulant a un debit de 0.8 ml min-1. Les limites de detection pour BrO3-, Br-, IO3- et I- sont respectivement de 0.032, 0.063, 0.008 et 0.012 mu g l-1. Des interferences spectroscopiques ont seulement ete observes dans les echantillons blancs et resultent principalement de l'ion polyatomique argon-potassium (40Ar39K+). Cependant, cette interference est negligeable en raison de l'elution et de la separation complete de celle de l'iodinate dans des conditions optimisees. La methode developpee a ete appliquee avec succes a vingt-deux echantillons d'eau potable provenant d'un supermarche. Les resultats indiquent que 36.4% des echantillons avaient des concentrations de BrO3- excedant la limite nationale chinoise pour l'eau potable de 10 mu g l-1.
