TY - JOUR AB - Volatile organic compounds in air are mostly determined after enrichment by adsorption on active charcoal. A batch of three hundred active charcoal tubes was charged with benzene, toluene and m-xylene by drawing a volume of air with known composition through the tubes in such a manner as to charge each tube of the batch with exactly the same amounts. From this batch every tenth tube was analyzed gas-chromatographically. Further 60 charged tubes were stored under different conditions and analyzed within one year. It appeared that the charging was homogeneous and that no significant alteration was found within one year. AU - Flammenkamp, E. AU - Ludwig, E.M. AU - Risse, U. AU - Kettrup, A.

The first steps in the construction of a database on reference materials are described. The term reference materials was taken to mean any substance used to give a baseline or reference value for a measurement. A broadly-phrased questionnaire was sent out to 264 different organizations. So far 67 replies have been received representing a wide range of manufacturers, suppliers, and users of reference materials from 23 different countries. These replies have been compiled to form a Survey of Institutions, Organizations and Laboratories Manufacturing, Supplying, or Using Reference Materials, which will soon be available in printing form. The first edition will serve as a basis for defining user needs more precisely, and developing a more detailed questionnaire.

Five series of analyses were randomly selected out of store. The results show that the obtained precision of 8 to 9% could be used as an indication unit for the deviation of the mean values of CHC concentrations from "true" values. If the analytical variability is 5%, the maximum inhomogeneity in the subsamples is 3-4%. It may be concluded that the subsamples of the candidate fish reference material (RM) are homogeneous enough for analytical purposes. Thus ESB (German Environmental Specimen Bank) material prepared in accordance with the standard operating procedure (SOP) [1] are valuable and appropriate reference materials. The prepared fish RM is suitable for the analysis of chlorinated hydrocarbons in fat containing marine samples. AU - Oxynos, K. AU - Schladot, J.D.* AU - Schmitzer, J.L.

No liquid-liquid partition has been used; thus the consumption of organic solvents was limited and the use of chlorinated solvents could be avoided. Quantification has been performed by ion-pair HPLC. Despite the large difference in polarity the recoveries of both the compounds from spiked soil samples between 0.1 and 1 μg/g was higher than 90%. The solid-phase adsorption technology resulted in a very effective methodology of clean-up in the case of the polar compound fluazifop, for which a second disposable column with a cyanopropyl phase has been used, and was fairly satisfactory for fluazifop-butyl. The detection limits were less than 0.04 μg/g and 0.10 μg/g, respectively for fluazifop and fluazifop-butyl. AU - Zanco, M. AU - Pfister, G. AU - Kettrup, A.

The separation is carried out on a single anion exchange column. Pu(IV), U(VI) and Fe(III) are fixed on Bio Rad AG 1-X4 from 9 mol/l HCl, while the sample effluent is used for the determination of radio-strontium. Fe and U are eluted separately with 7 mol/l HNO3, and Pu(III) is eluted with 1.2 mol/l HCl containing hydrogen peroxide. Subsequently, Pu and U are electrolysed and counted by alpha spectrometry. Radiostrontium is purified by the nitrate method and counted in a low level beta proportional counter. Fe is purified by extraction and cation exchange and 55Fe is counted by X-ray spectrometry with a Si(Li) detector. The sample preparation and the application of the procedure to large samples, namely aerosols from 105 m3 of air, and monthly deposition samples from 0.6 m2 sampling area (10-100 l) are described. Chemical yields are for Pu 70±20, for Sr 80±15, for U 80-90, and for Fe 75±10%. As an example, the maximum airborne radionuclide concentrations determined with that procedure in fortnightly collected samples at Neuherberg after the Chernobyl accident were: 239+240Pu, 2.58; 238Pu, 1.40; 238U, 0.65; 234U, 0.67; 90Sr, 7600; and 55Fe, 990 μBqm-3.

According to the behaviour in such a plasma these fourteen elements can be divided into five groups. By the addition of hydrogen signal and background intensities were increased. The signal-tobackground ratio is not the only criterion to judge the performance of a plasma. Comparing with the pure argon plasma, also the signal-to-background ratios of all elements except for Ca and Mg decreased under the optimum parameters for Ca which was the extreme case in this study.

A comparison between "aqua regia" - and total ashing of sludge samples is presented. For these experiments a 16-channel ICP-spectrometer has been applied. It is concluded that this method is well suitable for supervision purposes - also for large numbers of samples. AU - Schramel, P. AU - Li-Qiang, X. AU - Wolf, A. AU - Hasse, S.

Die Verbrennung findet dabei in reinem Sauerstoff in einer sehr kleinen Verbrennungskammer (etwa 75 cm3) statt, so daß anschließend die metallischen und nichtmetallischen Spurenelemente mit hoher Zuverlässigkeit bestimmt werden können. Die steuerbare Veraschung wird durch ein System von IR-Strahlern gestartet. Alle flüchtigen Spurenelemente (z. B. Hg, Se, Te, As, Sb, I) werden zusammen mit den Verbrennungsprodukten in einem Kühlsystem kondensiert, das mit flüssigem Stickstoff gefüllt und über der Verbrennungskammer angeordnet ist. Die sich an den gekühlten Flächen befindlichen flüchtigen sowie die in der Asche vorhandenen nichtflüchtigen Elemente werden durch Rückflußbehandlung mit einer kleinen Säuremenge (2 ml) gelöst und in einem Quarzglas unterhalb der Verbrennungskammer gesammelt. Die Wiederfindung der Elemente nach dem Aufschlußprozeß (50–60 min) wurde mit Hilfe von 7 NBS-Referenzmaterialien für folgende Elemente geprüft: B, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn (ICP-Emissionsspektrometrie), Cd, Pb (ETA-AAS), Hg (AAS-Kaltdampftechnik), As (AAS-Hydridmethode) und Se (Röntgenfluorescenz). Es ergab sich sehr gute Übereinstimmung mit den zertifizierten Werten. Diese neue und sehr allgemein anwendbare Aufschlußmethode weist nicht nur geringe Blindwerte auf, sondern vermeidet auch wesentliche Verluste der zu bestimmenden Elemente durch Verflüchtigung, Adsorption oder Zusammenbacken an der Quarzoberfläche. Durch die einfache Handhabung der Apparatur ist eine zuverlässige Bestimmung von Spurenelementen im μg/g- und ng/g-Bereich für die meisten nichtflüchtigen organischen Matrices gewährleistet.   AU - Knapp, G.* AU - Raptis, S.E.* AU - Kaiser, G.* AU - Tölg, G.* AU - Schramel, P.

Aufgrund der hohen Anregungstemperatur in einem Plasma treten dabei die von der konventionellen Atomabsorptionsspektroskopie her bekannten chemischen Interferenzen nicht auf, so daß mit geringen Probenmengen (max. 1 ml Serum für den Nachweis dieser 6 Elemente) ein sehr empfindlicher und sehr gut reproduzierbarer Nachweis möglich ist.

The aim of this paper was, to investigate the influences of different acids and their different concentrations to the measured signal, by the example of Cu determination. A pneumatic and an ultrasonic nebulizer were applied. Sometimes strong differences as a function of the density of the solution could be observed. AU - Schramel, P. AU - Ovcar-Pavlu, J.

Therefore, it was necessary to reextract lead into the aqueous phase by nitric acid. Investigations of recoveries confirmed, that extraction and reextraction of lead were quantitative. In this way the concentration of lead is increased by a factor of five. Mean standard deviations for four concentration ranges are given. A detection limit of 0.16 mg of Pb/l is obtained, which is lowered by the preceding enrichment to about 0.03 mg of Pb/l. Details of the procedure are given. AU - Schmidt, W.F. AU - Dietl, F.

The procedure described here aims at determining the amount of substances in terms of moles, incorporated into single cells. 14C is used as a label, since in contrast to tritium, the influence of β-self-absorption of this isotope is negligible. Every autoradiograph is exposed together with a standard consisting of 14C-methacrylate. Hereby the relation of grain density to radioactivity in an autoradiograph is given. Grain counts are performed in an incident light microphotometer which makes use of the linear relationship between silver grain number and amount of light reflected by the grains. Therefore, measurements are performed in an integrating manner. The usual transmitted light is available for selecting the labelled cells for measurement. AU - Dörmér, P.G. AU - Brinkmann, W.
