The results of over thirty years of intercalibration exercises of PCBs and DDTs analysis in the various environmental samples

The accuracy of the results for determination various environmental pollutants are possible to evaluate applying participation in intercomparison runs with the samples of composition similar to the environmental samples. Laboratory for organic pollutants determination of the Centre for Marine and Environmental Research, Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Zagreb, Croatia (CMER) took part in many intercalibration exercises for the determination petroleum and chlorinated hydrocarbons in various environmental samples and here are present and discussed results of intercalibration exercises of determination PCBs and DDTs. Since 1973, the Monaco Laboratory of IAEA has organized regular intercomparison exercises on a worldwide and regional scale. Rudjer Boskovic Institute (CMER) from 1974 took a part in intercalibration exercises organized by IAEA. Based on the frequency of participation and the quality of the data reported, the IAEA had issued a list of selected reliable laboratories around the Mediterranean for trace organochlorine compound analysis in various marine samples. Of the 56 laboratories from 14 Mediterranean countries that participated in the intercalibration runs to determine chlorinated hydrocarbons in marine samples, six were selected for excellent analytical performance. Among them was CMER from Rudjer Boskovic Institute.
