KW  - ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR THE DETECTION OF PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS IN COMPLEX ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLES
N2  - Persistentorganic pollutants (POPs) are defined as the most hazardous chemicals due totheir low water solubility, high lipophilicity, resistance to biodegradation,toxic effects and bioaccumulation properties. Stockholm Convention as aninternational environmental treaty, became effective for the ban or restrictionof the use of POPs.  Consequently,monitoring and risk assessment of these chemicals have become a global concernand received great importance. Prioritized pollutants including POPs aremonitored routinely from environmental samples regardless the restrictedresources. Measurement of pollutants in environment are laborious, expensiveand usually contains more than one procedure. Moreover, these analyses werefrequently advanced aiming one class of contaminants, consequently cannotcorrespond the demand of monitoring multiple pollutants at the same time fromthe environmental samples. The precise analysis of POPs requires selective andsensitive methods. The conventional extraction methods generally start with ahomogenization step, followed by one or more steps of purification to removecoextracted interferences before instrumental analysis. For satisfactorypurification of sample extracts, the choice of an appropriate adsorbent andeluent solution is important and depends mainly on the chemical properties ofthe target analytes as well as the sample matrix. Several interlaboratorycomparison studies and proficiency testing programs are in place throughout theworld. Nevertheless, there are imminent challenges in accurate and preciseanalysis of POPs in complex environmental matrices. This presentation willprovide a brief and systematic description of the methods for the measurementof POPs in complex sample matrices, with the emphasis on analytical methods.
