      analysis, and occurrence.

AB  - An analytical method was developed for the measurement of 18 novel halogenated 
      flame retardants in house dust. Sample preparation was based on 
      ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction and clean up with solid phase extraction 
      (SPE). Sample extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry 
      (GC/MS) operated in electron capture negative ion (ECNI) chemical ionization 
      mode. Baseline data from 351 fresh (active) dust samples collected under the 
      Canadian House Dust Study (CHDS) revealed that five out of 18 target chemicals 
      were present with detection frequencies higher than 90 %. Median (range) 
      concentrations for these five compounds were as follows: 104 (<1.5-13,000) ng/g 
      for 2-ethylhexyl-2,3,4,5-tetrabromobenzoate (EHTBB), 8.5 (<1.7-2390) ng/g for 
      1,2-bis(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE), 10.2 (<1.7-430) ng/g for 
      hexabromobenzene (HBB), 2.9 (<1.2-1410) ng/g for syn-dechlorane plus (syn-DP) and 
      5.6 (<1.9-1570) ng/g for anti-dechlorane plus (anti-DP). A comparison of two 
      sampling methods in a subset of 40 homes showed significant positive correlations 
      between samples of "active" dust and samples taken directly from the household 
      vacuum cleaner for all target compounds having median values above their 
      corresponding method detection limits (MDLs). In addition, the method was also 
      applied to the analysis of the targeted compounds in National Institute of 
      Standards and Technology (NIST) standard reference material (SRM 2585, organic 
      contaminants in house dust). Results from the current study could contribute to 
      the potential certification of target chemicals in SRM 2585.
