Soil, treated biowaste and sludge — Determination of dioxins and furans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls by gas chromatography with high resolution mass selective detection (HR GC-MS)

Abstract

This document specifies a method for quantitative determination of 17 2,3,7,8-chlorine substituted
dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in sludge, treated
biowaste and soil using liquid column chromatographic clean-up methods and GC/HRMS.
The analytes to be determined with this document are listed in Table 1.
Table 1 — Analytes and their abbreviations

The limit of detection depends on the kind of sample, the congener, the equipment used and the quality
of chemicals used for extraction and clean-up. Under the conditions specified in this document, limits of
detection better than 1 ng/kg (expressed as dry matter) can be achieved.
This method is “performance based”. The method can be modified if all performance criteria given in
this method are met.
NOTE In principle, this method can also be applied for sediments, mineral wastes and for vegetation. It is
the responsibility of the user of this document to validate the application for these matrices. For measurement in
complex matrices like fly ashes adsorbed on vegetation, it can be necessary to further improve the clean-up. This
can also apply to sediments and mineral wastes.
