Summary

A multiresidue method for the analysis of a number of chlorinated and brominated organic compounds in biological samples has been developed. The method includes gas-chromatographic analysis of hexachlorinated and hexabrominated benzenes (HCB and HBB), polychlorinated and polybrominated biphenyls (PCB and PBB), polychlorinated phenols (PCP), guaiacols (PCG), paraffins (CP) and naphthalenes (PCN), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) and the pesticides DDT, polychlorinated terpenes (PCC or toxaphene), chlordanes, hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCH), aldrin and dieldrin. The use of charcoal column in the clean-up procedure makes it also possible to analyze the planar PCB congeners (pPCB). Cod muscle samples were spiked with 10 and 50 times the detection levels of the compounds to be analyzed. The mean recoveries, relative to internal standards, for 40 compounds or compound groups were between 51 and 120%.
