| Abstract: | A method for determination of 61 organic pollutants (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and organochlorine, organophosphorous and organonitrogen pesticides) is proposed. It is based on solid phase extraction (SPE) and subsequent analysis of the extract by liquid and gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Method validation yielded to the following values: limits of quantification, from 0.005 to 0.020?µg?L?1; trueness, 95% to 113% and reproducibility (as percent relative standard deviation), 2% to 15%. Additionally, the method performed well in various proficiency tests. |
