The aim of the project is to develop and validate reference isotope dilution methods capable of analysing priority hazardous substances as specified in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) at the proposed low environmental quality standard (EQS) concentrations in ground and surface waters. The work will focus on three analytes Tributyltin(TBT), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH).Detailed information about the project is available at http://www.emrp-waterframeworkdirective.bam.de
TÜBİTAK UME will develop and validate a measurement procedure for Tributyltin (TBT), Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) in whole water samples at a concentration level required by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). Various extraction, derivatisation and pre-concentration methods will be optimised. Characterization of the calibration standards will be performed and IDMS detection techniques will be developed.
