Analytical method development using functionalized polysulfone membranes for the determination of chlorinated hydrocarbons in water

► For the first time, a phosphonic acid functionalized polysulfone membrane was used for determination of chlorinated hydrocarbons. ► Good values of LOD, LOQ, repeatability, reproducibility and overall recoveries are achieved. ► Trace amount of chlorinated hydrocarbons detected in bottled and tap water samples.
