TI  - Determination of chlorinated paraffins in sediments from the Firth of Clyde by 
      gas chromatography with electron capture negative ionisation mass spectrometry 
      and carbon skeleton analysis by gas chromatography with flame ionisation

AB  - Short chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) are a group of persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs) of increasing concern, but are to date not widely investigated 
      in the environment, largely due to the challenges involved in their 
      quantification. Here, SCCPs were quantified in marine sediments from the Firth of 
      Clyde, Scotland, by gas chromatography with electron capture negative ionisation 
      mass spectrometry (GC-ECNIMS) and through carbon skeleton analysis by gas 
      chromatography with flame ionisation detection (GC-FID), and the analytical 
      challenges encountered are discussed. Concentrations in the sediments ranged from 
      0.4 to 69 mug kg(-1) when determined by GC-ECNIMS, and from 5.6 to 379 mug kg(-1) 
      when determined by GC-FID. For 8 out of 11 samples, analysis by GC-FID gave 
      higher results than analysis by GC-ECNIMS. Unexpected aspects of the analysis, 
      such as the presence of high concentrations of longer chain chlorinated paraffins 
      in the samples, are also presented.
