Analytical control of organic impurities in the drinking and bottled water after its contact with a pack and filters made from polymer materials

: The paper provides the results of gas chromatographic analysis of organic impurities in the drinking water after its contact with various packs and filters made from polymer materials. Vapor-phase analysis in combination with selective gas chromatographic detectors was used to determine volatile substances and liquid extraction in combination with chromatographic mass-spectrometry was employed to identify high-boiling compounds. The release sources of toxic compounds from materials to water, the taste and odor of which is affected by them were studied.
