Standard Analytical Procedures of the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) National Analytical Facility, 1985-1986: Extractable Toxic Organic Compounds, Second Edition

摘要

Numerous recent studies demonstrate associations between organic chemical contamination of the aquatic environment and impacts on environmental health and, potentially, on human health (cf. Malins et al. 1984). If the results of one study are to be compared with those of another, uniform analytical methods for the chemicals will be required. To meet this need, NOAA's National Analytical Facility (NAF) prepared this Technical Memorandum as a methods manual for extractable organic chemicals in marine sediments and tissues. It applies specifically to the organic analytes (i.e., the chemicals to be analyzed for) selected for documentation by NOAA's National Status and Trends (S&T) Program.
