Analysis of chlorinated styrenes in environmental samples using negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry.

A method for the separation and identification of chlorinated styrene isomers with fully chlorinated aromatic nuclei in environmental samples is presented. Gas chromatography combined with negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry is used. The method has been applied to a combined fish liver and filét extract. All the possible chlorostyrenes with fully chlorinated aromatic nuclei were detected in the sample.
