The method describes the determination of the content of vinyl chloride in drinking water.
Existing “DEV”/German Standard Methods e.g. with gas chromatography and flame ionization detector according to DIN 38413 P2 1988 – 5 allow the determination of vinyl chloride in water in a mass per unit volume of 5-500 µg/l and therefore show an inadequate limit of determination for the drinking water analysis (see limit value). At present the analysis according to DEV-DIN EN ISO 10301 F4 (determination of volatile carbons, see 1.1.46 THM) is conducted.
Water intended for use in beer brewing as well as in the production of other foods.
Vinyl chloride is determined by gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (GC-MS) using static headspace technique (HS). The method detects selected volatile organic compounds including chloroethene (vinyl chloride).
