Simultaneous determination of planar chlorobiphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans in Dutch milk using isotope dilution and gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry.
A method is described for the simultaneous determination of planar chlorobiphenyls and dioxins in milk using isotope dilution and gas chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The method is based on gel permeation chromatography, alumina clean-up and carbon chromatography and is highly automated, making a high sample throughput possible. Data on recovery, accuracy and reproducibility of results obtained with quality control samples are presented. Data for both dioxins and planar chlorobiphenyls from the analysis of samples of Dutch milk from several areas in the Netherlands are also presented. Possible interference of the chlorobiphenyls in the determination of the dioxins in the GC-MS method is discussed.
