TI  - A method for measuring semi- and non-volatile organic halogens by combustion ion 
      chromatography.

AB  - Recent studies have shown that various semi- and non-volatile organohalogen 
      compounds are ubiquitous in the environment: these include halogenated dioxins 
      including chlorinated dioxins, other persistent organic pollutants (POPs), 
      brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS). 
      However, monitoring and assessment of these compounds by the analyses of 
      individual compounds and their isomers is onerous because of their low 
      environmental concentrations and large number of compounds. In this study, we 
      have developed a new method that is capable of screening and monitoring an array 
      of organohalogen compounds efficiently by combustion ion chromatography (CIC) - 
      the new analyzer that serially connects combustion furnace and ion chromatograph. 
      Analyzer performance was evaluated in terms of its applicability, 
      reproducibility, and sensitivity as limit of detection (LOD). Recoveries of 
      organochlorine, organobromine, and organoiodine compounds by the CIC were between 
      97 and 105%; those of organofluorine compounds were from 86 to 91%. In all cases, 
      the relative standard deviation of five analyses was 4% or smaller. The analyzer 
      would exhibit good sensitivity for various environmental matrices (e.g., 
      2.8-31ng-X/g-soil, 1.4-16ng-X/L-water, and 9.2-100ng-X/m3N-gas). The method is 
      fast and can provide information regarding the occurrence of organohalogen 
      compounds within 1 or 2 days after sampling. Applicability of the new method for 
      the assessment of contamination in flue gas and fly ash was also demonstrated. 
      Our results show that the method is efficient to investigate emission sources and 
      areas contaminated by organohalogen compounds.
