Individual SCC

31、P congeners with chlorine contents of between 50 % and 67 % are suitable as internal standards if the mass trace in mass spectrometric detection is not affected by matrix components, e.g. 1,1,1,3,11,13,13,13-octachlorotridecane at e.g. 0,1 g/ml.NOTE 1 The different individual SCCP congeners used as

32、internal standard substances probably contribute in environmental samples to the sum of SCCPs. Nevertheless, the contribution is approximately 50 % and no interfering peak should appear in the gas chromatogram. If necessary, GPC conditions need to be modified to meet these requirements.NOTE Alternat

36、 SCCP.The measurement is performed in the selected ion mode with four selected mass ion fragments (mass to charge values, m/z), i.e. m/z 375, m/z 411, and m/z 423, and m/z 449. For an explanation of this selection, see Reference 4.The integration of the different m/z values should be carried out wit

Interferences occur in the mass spectra because individual compounds cannot be separated by GC.Using multiple linear regression techniques quantification can be carried out to a large extent independent of chlorine content (see Annex B and Reference 4).While
