- Title
Detecting "The New PCBs" Using GC-ICP-MS: Challenges of PBDE Analysis.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article presents information on a study which attempts to detect new poly chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using GC-ICP-MS method. Both polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PDBEs) and PCBs have similar structures. Typically, PBDEs are analysed and detected similarly to PCBs or dioxins, using gas chromatography coupled to a halogen specific detector such as electron capture or to a mass spectrometer. However, unlike PCBs, PBDEs are much more difficult to chromatographically separate and detect. GC-ICP-MS may be the method of choice for trace level analysis of PBDEs in a variety of samples.
