“…So far, in order to better determine the level of pollution in the environment, several analytical methods for the determination of DBP are developed, such as GC-MS, GC-electron capture detector (GC-ECD), liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS), LC-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), HPLC-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD), HPLCelectrospray-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ES-MS), ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), UPLC-tandem mass s p e c t r o m e t r y ( U P L C -M S-M S ) , u l t r a -f a s t l i q u i d chromatography-mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS), etc. (Chee et al 1996;Lin et al 2003;Sørensen 2006;Shen et al 2007;Feás et al 2008;Wu et al 2008;Thomas et al 2013). Although the above instrument analysis methods are accurate, the instruments are much more time-consuming, expensive and require more skill to operate.…”
