Haloacetic acids (HAAs) are common disinfection by-products in chlorine disinfected water. Humans are extensively exposed to them. However, nationwide biomonitoring data were not available for any country. This study developed a labor-efficient and sensitive method for the detection of urinary HAAs, including trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) and dichloroacetic acid (DCAA), and conducted an exposure assessment in a Chinese population. A total of 850 first-morning-void urine samples were collected from adults in six megacities in China: Wuhan (central), Lanzhou (northwest), Chengdu (southwest), Taiyuan (north), Shanghai (east), and Dalian (northeast). Each participant (n = 425) provided a pair of urine samples during the warm (September to October 2018) and cold (December 2018 to January 2019) seasons. The detection method achieved good retention of the target analytes using a Fluoro-Phenyl column and excellent selectivity using in-source fragmentation ions as precursor ions in multiple reaction monitoring. The detection rate of urinary TCAA in Chinese populations was high (78.5%) but varied among different regions (54.0% to 98.0%). DCAA was rarely detected (<10%). The overall median value of specific gravity adjusted TCAA concentrations was 5.70 μg/L in the warm season and 3.87 μg/L in the cold season, respectively. Higher urinary TCAA concentrations were more likely to occur in Wuhan (Yangtze River Basin), urban areas, and during the warm season. The upstream region of the Yangtze River Basin (Chengdu) typically has lower TCAA concentrations. TCAA formation in coastal cities such as Shanghai and Dalian may be impacted by seawater intrusion. Estimated daily intakes of TCAA were lower than its chronic reference dose of 20 μg/kg-bw/day. This detection method can be applied to future biomonitoring of urinary HAAs. More attention should be paid to the highly exposed subgroups when exploring the health effects of long-term TCAA exposure.
