The analytical procedure previously developed within the European project Conffidence and
subsequently validated within the AOAC interlaboratory study is applicable not only for analysis of
PAHs in seafood, but in our lab it is successfully applied for analysis of other groups of organic
pollutants such as PCBs, OCPs, PBDEs and other brominated flame retardants. In our laboratory, the
analytical method is accredited according to ISO 17025 for the whole spectrum of above mentioned
analytes.
It has been applied in the studies summarized below:
-
Analysis of oil/fish oil samples on halogenated POPs and PAHs with the aim of
documentation of contamination of products in the common market.
-
Participation in the interlaboratory test FAPAS no. 665 – PAHs in olive oil and nbr. 659 –
smoked fish.
-
Homogeneity testing during the preparation of CRM for PAHs analysis in smoked fish within
the Conffidence project at IRMM.
-
Analysis of fish and seafood samples on PAHs, PCBs, PBDEs and OCPs within the Conffidence
project.
-
Analysis of total diet samples and human breast milk samples on PAHs with the national
project - „Impact of air pollution to genome of newborns”.
-
Analysis of organohalogenated pollutants in human breast milk samples in the human
biomonitoring surveys conducted in the Czech Republic within the years 2012 – 2016.
-
Analysis of fish/seafood samples on halogenated POPs and PAHs within various commercial
analysis in our laboratory with the aim of documentation of contamination of products in the
common market, as well as within the monitoring of environmental contamination.
