ABSTRACT
We show how to determine polybrominated diphenyl ethers in aqueous samples using liquid-liquid
extraction and gas chromatography with electron capture detection (LLE-GC-μECD). This method, due to its
simplicity, low limits of determination (7-9 pg/L), high accuracy, relatively low costs, and high recovery coefficients
for all of these PBDEs (86-92%), offers enormous benefits for routine analyses of PBDEs. The developed
method was applied to surface water samples collected from different sampling points in western
Pomerania.
