Résumé

A simple method for the collection and analysis of the four brominated and chlorinated trihalomethanes (THMs) in air samples is described. Ambient air samples were collected in pre-prepared glass vials, with THM analysis performed using solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, where the need for chemical reagents is minimized. Analytical parameters, including oven temperature program, solvent volume, incubation time, vial agitation, extraction time and temperature, as well as desorption time and temperature, were evaluated to ensure optimal method performance. The developed method allows for point-in-time quantification (compared to an average concentration measured over extended periods of time), with detection limits between 0.7 to 2.6 µg/m
