Abstract
We established an analytical method for the measurement of trace amounts of earthy/musty odorous geosmin (GSM) and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) in water using GC/MS. Water samples were extracted with n-hexane (liquid-liquid extraction, LLE) and the extracts were measured by GC/MS. The extraction yields of the two compounds were tested to be (<TEX>$87{\pm}8$</TEX>)% and (<TEX>$78{\pm}8$</TEX>)%, respectively. The limits of quantitation (LOQs) of the two compounds by this method were greatly improved to ~0.3 ng/L. The analytical methods were applied to analyze water samples from several rivers in Korea and waters after water treatment processes. The highest levels of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol in raw water from a river were measured to be (<TEX>$4.2{\pm}0.4$</TEX>) ng/L and (<TEX>$44{\pm}4$</TEX>) ng/L, respectively. The levels only slightly decreased to (<TEX>$1.3{\pm}0.1$</TEX>) ng/L and (<TEX>$18{\pm}2$</TEX>) ng/L even after water treatment, indicating that the odorous compounds were not properly removed by the treatment processes.
