Abstract A rapid and efficient method based on solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry was validated, allowing the determination of the endocrine-disrupting herbicides (acetochlor, alachlor, amitrole and atrazine), fungicides (carbendazim, triadimefon, penconazole and propiconazole), and insecticides (carbaryl and carbofuran) in drinking water. Low method detection limits (0.01–0.64 ng/L) and method quantification limits (0.03–2.13 ng/L) were obtained with satisfactory recoveries and precision for the endocrine-disrupting pesticides. The method was applied for real drinking water samples collected in the area of the city of Hangzhou (Zhejiang, China); the results showed that carbendazim, atrazine and acetochlor were detected in the drinking water samples and acetochlor was the most detected analyte.

The drinking water quality is associated with the conditions of the water supply networks, the pollution and the contamination of groundwater with pollutants of both anthropogenic and natural origin. In this study, water samples were taken from four different waterworks in Tunceli, Turkey and heavy metals concentrations (As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni and Hg) were measured. Four sampling sites were pre-defined in different locations of the city. The obtained results showed that, the heavy metals concentrations in water samples did not exceed the values of WHO (World Health Organization), EC (Europe Community), EPA (Environment Protection Agency) and TSE-266 (Turkish Standard) guidelines.
