This paper reports on the analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in selected intercomparison materials (IAEA-435 (tuna) and IAEA-159 (sediment)), and presents the author’s results against the background of results accepted by the organizer of the intercomparison studies, i.e. the Marine Environment Laboratories of the International Atomic Energy Agency in Monaco. The samples were extracted with a mixture of acetone/hexane (tuna) or acetonitrile (sediment) by sonication, cleaned up using micro-columns packed with different materials (e.g. silica gel, florisil, copper), and analyzed by GC-ECD. The difficulties of PCB determination are indicated and the differences between the analyses of low- and high-molecular-weight PCBs are emphasized.
