  1. The concentration of each standard solution was 100 mg/L
  2. R 2, correlation coefficient
  3. aThe linearity range of each standard solution was 50–1000 mg/L
  4. bFor the analysis of methanol, the MS was additionally operated in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode and the following ions were used: m/z 15, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 31 for qualification and quantification of methanol, respectively
