The invention belongs to the technical field of environment detection and analysis, and particularly relates to a method for detecting trace N-
nitrosamine compounds in water. According to the method, a headspace
solid-phase microextraction device with a
dehydration and heat insulation device is used for extraction, the
dehydration and heat insulation device is installed between a to-be-detected sample container and an extraction
handle, the
dehydration and heat insulation device comprises a double-layer
quartz tube,
degreasing cotton and a dehydrating agent, and the
degreasing cotton with the dehydrating agent is placed at the top end of a ventilation connecting
pipe of the dehydration and heat insulation device; and the bottom end of the ventilation connecting
pipe is arranged above the to-be-tested sample. After the dehydration and heat insulation device is additionally arranged, the extraction temperature and the stirring speed can be increased, the extraction time is saved, and the problems of damage to an extraction head and a gas
chromatographic column and
desorption caused by
water vapor adsorption possibly caused by too high temperature are solved; and the gas space above the liquid level is reduced by using the dehydration and heat insulation device, the adsorption of an object to be detected in a gas environment is promoted, the
detection limit reaches 0.05-0.1 ng / L, and the
recovery rate is 90-103.2%.
