Several commercially available adsorbents were compared with solvent extraction methods for their utility in recovering trace organics from water. The adsorbents examined included Amberlite XAD-2, XAD-4 and XAD-8, Ambersorb XE340 and XE348 and Tenax-GC. All were found to produce high artifact levels, even after extensive clean-up, making them unsuitable for the analysis of trace organics in water. Quantitatively, Likens-Nickerson or continuous liquid-liquid extraction with méthylene chloride gave better recoveries than the adsorbents. Qualitatively, extractive methods were preferred as they yielded much lower levels of impurities than the adsorbents. These methods of recovering trace organics were evaluated using a standard mixture of compounds added to the water at a level of 55 µg/l. Likens-Nickerson extraction gave comparable recoveries of this mixture at 55 µg/l and 11 µg/l.
