Analysis of acrylamide in drinking water by SPE and GC-MS

The present study aimed to evaluate the levels of acrylamide in drinking water by solid phase extraction (SPE). After SPE, water extracts were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) system. Thirty drinking water samples were analyzed in the study. Acrylamide was detected in 12 samples. The levels of acrylamide in drinking water samples were less than 85ngl(-1). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 4 and 13.20ngl(-1), respectively.
