AWWA WQTC58781

The objective of this research was to developan accurate and precise analytical method to detect and quantitate the 12 ethanesulfonic acid (ESA) and oxanilic acid (OA)acetanilide pesticide degradates in drinking water matrices. This included two steps: evaluating the capability of solid phase extraction (SPE) techniques to concentrate theacetanilide ESA and OA degradates from drinking water; and, evaluating the capability ofliquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) techniques to separate and detect ESA andOA acetanilide herbicide degradates in the concentrated sample extracts. Future occurrencedata gathered with this developed method can then be used in determining whether to study thehealth effects of the acetanilide herbicide degradation products, and ultimately whether toregulate these compounds or remove them from the CCL. Includes 11 references.
