A simple and rapid technique is described for the quantitative determination of four antifouling booster biocides (diuron, kathon 5287, TCMTB and TCMS pyridine) in aqueous samples. The analytes were extracted with high recoveries (ca. 100% ± -15%) from 2.7L water samples, using C18 solid phase extraction. Sample extracts were quantitatively analysed by reverse phase HPLC and continuous polarity switching APCiMS using selective ion monitoring. Limits of detection for the four compounds were; diuron, lng/L, kathon 5287, 1 ng/L, TCMTB, 1 ng/L and TCMS Pyridine, 5 ng/L. Analysis of samples collected from various UK marinas showed detectable concentrations of diuron to be present, however, concentrations of other booster biocides were below their respective limit of detection.
