3 Without Örebro, no Nobel price!

4 Objectives UNEP To be able to confirm a 50% decline in the levels of POPs within a 10 year period Analytical variance of the data < 25% 2 x RSD of 12.5% Z scores = 2, corresponds to 25%

5 Present State of the Art dl-pops years of QA/QC studies for dioxins From 1992 to 2011 the 16 th round More than 200 laboratories registered Participation of around 100 every year More than data points Summarized in feature article Anal. Chem. 1 1 Long-Term Wordwide QA/QC of Dioxins and Dioxin-like PCBs in Environmental Samples. Anal. Chem. 80 (2008)

6 State of the art dl-pops 2010 RSD vs. Matrix RSD (%) Incineration Soil/Sediment/Sludge Extracts Standards Incineration Soil/Sediment/Sludge Extracts Standards Fly Ash < 20% RSD Soil/Sediment < 15% RSD Standard solution < 10% *Based on 1998 WHO TEQ

7 2 nd UNEP Interlaboratory Assessment Matrices Standard solution Human milk Human blood Air Fish Sediment Water Transformer oil All laboratories were asked to re check data after reporting.

8 Traceability Sample Shipment Special metal container Adsorbent for organic solvents Cooling for milk/blood Samples send by international carrier DHL Shipment can be traced on the www Problems Clearance problems Clearance problems solved by carrier Number of Shipments > 100 shipment in Asia, South America and Africa

9 Chemical Analysis of dl-pops Use own method Standard method In house methods UNEP training Use own standard solution for calibration Or UNEP standards from training Internal QA/QC Check laboratory blanks QA/QC or SRM sample QA/QC charts
