Abstract
In order to control the quality of trimethyl-lead determination in urban du st, the Standards, Measurements and Testing Programme (formerly BCR) of the European Commission organized interlaboratory studies of which the final a im was to certify a Reference Material. This paper describes the preparatio n of an urban dust reference material (CRM 605), the homogeneity and stabil ity studies, and the analytical work performed for the certification of the trimethyl-lead content (7.9 +/- 1.2 mu g kg(-1) by mass).
