Abstract
Multicapillary column gas chromatography (MC GC) - microwave induced p lasma atomic emission spectrometry (MIP AES) is proposed as a tool for the rapid speciation analysis of traces of organomercury, orgranolead and organotin compounds in environ mental matrices. Separations on a multicapillary column are cn. 10 times faster than those on convention al capillaries without sacrificing resolution nor sample load. Example s of chromatograms for speciation of organolead in dust, organomercury in sediment and organotin in sediment and mussel tissue are shown. An analytical method is developed and validated with certified reference materials for the determination of butyltin compounds in sediment and biomaterials.
