Analysis were carried out by gas chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry. Parameters that affect the extraction performance were optimized following a step by step approach, being the optimum conditions the extraction of water at pH 6, with 60 mg of sorbent and the elution with 6 mL of dichloromethane. The methodology was validated for the five selected water samples using DBP-d4 as internal standard. Determination coefficients of matrix-matched calibration curves were above 0.9904 in all cases while relative recovery values ranged between 71 and 120%, with relative standard deviation values below 19%. The limits of quantification of the method ranged between 9 and 20 ng/L. Matrix effects were found for most analytes and water samples. Real water samples were also analyzed, finding DEP and DBP at concentrations below 4.20 and 1.23 μg/L, respectively, in mineral, tap and waste water. DCHP, DEHP and BBP were also found in some of the samples at concentrations below the LOQs of the method.
