This paper describes the application of SPME to the analysis of chlorinated organic compounds (CPCs) from a pulp mill effluent. A PDMS fiber was used for SPME and the methodology was developed with 18 CPC standards which had previously been derivatized with acetic anhydride. The compounds were analyzed by GC/MS in the SIM mode, with a detection limit in the range of 0.1 to 2 ppb. Nine CPCs were identified in the effluent, with concentrations varying from 0.9 to 4.8 ppb. The major constituent found in the sample was 2,4,6‐Trichlorophenol.
