Sa. Wise et al., CERTIFICATION OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS IN A MUSSEL TISSUE STANDARD REFERENCE MATERIAL (SRM), Polycyclic aromatic compounds, 12(1), 1997, pp. 21-36
Standard Reference Material(SRM) 1974a, Organics in Mussel Tissue (Myt
ilus edulis), has been issued with certified and noncertified concentr
ations for 33 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The mussel tiss
ue material was analyzed using four different analytical techniques ba
sed on gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS) on different statio
nary phases and on reversed-phase liquid chromatography with fluoresce
nce detection. The results from the different analytical techniques we
re combined to provide certified concentrations for 15 PAHs with relat
ive uncertainties typically between 4% and 11%.
