The accurate determination of iodine in seawater is essential to understanding its impact on the environment and human health. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is a widely used technique for elemental analysis due to its high sensitivity, speed, and low limit of detection (LOD). However, its capability in the detection of iodine in complex matrix samples is still limited by the low sample introduction efficiency of pneumatic nebulization and the high ionization energy of iodine. Dielectric barrier discharge microplasma-induced vapor generation (DBD-μPIVG) is a sample introduction technique that has been widely coupled with atomic spectrometry due to its high vapor generation efficiency, rapid reaction speed, high anti-interference capability, and environmental friendliness. A new method was developed for the rapid and sensitive determination of iodine using DBD-μPIVG coupled with ICP-MS. The DBD-μPIVG sample introduction technique can convert both iodide and iodate to their volatiles with a vapor generation efficiency of 70 %. The experimental conditions were optimized in detail, and the LOD for iodine was 0.04 μg L, which was lower compared to pneumatic nebulization and comparable to that after the extraction treatment. The relative standard deviation (RSD) obtained after 11 replicate determinations was 2.4%. Furthermore, the potential mechanism and anti-interference performance of the proposed method were also carefully investigated. Compared to other analytical methods for iodine analysis, this approach is environmentally friendly, exhibits high anti-interference capability and enables accurate determination of iodine in complex matrix samples. The high vapor generation efficiency of DBD-μPIVG improves the sensitivity for iodine detection and expands the applicable elemental range of DBD-μPIVG. Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied to analyze the iodine content in seawater samples obtained from the Chinese coastal waters and retains great potential for assessing the distribution of iodine in different sea areas.
