SUBJECT COMMENT
Extraction methods for POPs PesticidesThe extraction in water is made with cartridges of C18, later solution with suitable solvents and concentration under nitrogen atmosphere. Determination in GC-µECD. The extraction in soils and sediments is done with irradiation of microwaves on the matrix previously dried with anhydrous sodium sulphate, using a mixture of suitable solvents.

Quality Control and CostsThe applied quality controls are: analysis of samples by duplicate, recovering of fortified samples and comparative analysis with standards. Control of chromatographic bullfight with control standards. Control and preventive maintenance of the used equipment. Since the laboratory is in a stage of development of analytical methodology, still the costs of the different analyses by sample have not been defined.
