Interlaboratory Assessment on Persistent Organic Pollutants 2016/2017

In 2016, 175 laboratories have been invited and have been supplied with test materials containing POPs at unknown concentrations.  The laboratories used their own methods for the analysis of POPs in test solutions of standards, sediment, fish, human milk, human plasma, ambient air or water and reported their individual results back to Örebro University and VU University Amsterdam for reporting and assessment.

The report of the “Bi-ennial Global Interlaboratory Assessment on Persistent Organic Pollutants – Third Round 2016/2017” together with four appendices is available below:
