TI  - Development and validation of a method for determination of selected 
      polybrominated diphenyl ether congeners in household dust.
PG  - 93-100
AB  - BACKGROUND: Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) belong to group of so-called 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs). These compounds occur in nearly all 
      elements of the environment, including household dust which constitutes one of a 
      major route for human exposure. Their main adverse effects on human health are 
      associated mainly with endocrine disruption--they interfere with thyroid function 
      exhibit anti-androgenic action. OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate analytical 
      method for determination of BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-153, and BDE-209 congeners in 
      household dust. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Household dust was sampled in residences 
      from Warsaw and the surrounding areas. An automated Soxhlet extraction of samples 
      was then performed and PBDE congeners were subsequently measured in cleaned-up 
      extracts by GC-microECD. The identity of quantified compounds was confirmed by 
      GC/MS. RESULTS: Household dust samples were fortified at levels of 2.88, and 28.8 
      ng g(-1) for BDE-47, BDE-999, and BDE-153, and for BDE-209 at levels of 101.2, 
      and 540 ng g(-1). Recoveries ranged between 72 - 106%. The relative standard 
      deviations (RSD) were less than 16% for all PBDE congeners analysed. The relative 
      error determined on the basis of multiple analyses of certified reference 
      material ranged from 1.07 - 20.41%. The method's relative expanded uncertainty 
      varied between 16 - 21%. CONCLUSION: The presented method was successfully 
      validated and can be used to measure concentrations of BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-153 
      and BDE-209 congeners in household dust.
