New certified and candidate certified reference materials for the analysis of PCBs, PCDD/Fs, OCPs and BFRs in the environment and food

摘要

Three new matrix-type certified reference materials (CRMs) have been produced for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in sterilized and wet (shell) fish matrices - BCR-682 (PCBs in mussels), BCR-718 (PCBs in herring) and BCR-719 (non-ortho PCBs in chub). Additional feasibility studies have been carried out to evaluate the conditions under which production and certification of CRMs are feasible for brominated flame retardants (BFRs), chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and furans (PCDD/Fs), PCBs and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in various food animal feed and environmental matrices.
