A method is presented which is suitable for determining volatile organohalides in drinking water, natural waters, or effluent waters. The method is based on extraction into an organic solvent followed by measurement by electron‐capture gas chromatography. The lower detection limit for each organohalide component is less than 1 / μ g/l with a relative reproducibility of ± 3 per cent. Routine samples can be monitored at a rate of 10–12 per hour.
