“…These results implied that a quantitative analysis could be employed for samples containing more than 1.92 lg L À1 of iodine for 1 L of water sample pretreated using the AC disk. The LOD value obtained from the proposed method is comparable to those of conventional methods employed for iodine analysis, such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ICP-MS (Table 3) (Takayanagi and Wong, 1986;Ito, 1997;Leiterer et al, 2001;Schwehr and Santschi, 2003;Pan and Zhang, 2013). The LOD values for the HPLC and ICP-MS systems for iodine analysis are 0.2 and 1.1 lg L À1 , respectively (Schwehr and Santschi, 2003;Leiterer et al, 2001).…”
