RT: retention time. ID (identification method): 1, identified, mass spectrum and RI were in accordance with standards; 2, tentatively identified, mass spectrum matched in the standard NIST 2008 library and RI matched with NIST Standard Reference Database (NIST Chemistry WebBook). Linear equation: concentration in mg/L; x, peak area ratio of a compound into the internal standard (4-methyl-2-pentanol). R: Regression coefficient.
