A headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method is developed for the determination of styrene in drinking water. Gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry is utilized for qualitative analysis. A manual SPME holder with 85-microm polyacrylate coating is used to extract the styrene from water, which is determined to have good linearity (correlation coefficient r = 0.9999 for 1.00-100.00 microg/L range), a relative standard deviation of 1.9%, and a detection limit of 0.30 microg/L. This method is compared with a classical headspace GC method.
