AB  - In support of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) global monitoring 
      plan under the Stockholm Convention contributing laboratories were offered to 
      take part in a series of interlaboratory assessments on persistent organic 
      pollutants (POPs). The results of two rounds of these assessments are reported. 
      The target compounds were polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides, 
      polybrominated diphenylethers, one polybrominated biphenyl and 
      hexabromocyclododecane diastereomers. The matrices distributed were a test 
      solution, fish, sediment, human milk, and air extracts. The number of 
      participants in each round was well over 100, showing the interest of 
      laboratories worldwide. The results showed that many laboratories still struggle 
      to obtain acceptable standard deviations of around 25% for their determinations. 
      In particular for organochlorine pesticides serious improvement in quality is 
      required. Acceptable results were obtained for the air extracts and for the 
      determination of polybrominated diphenylethers in various matrices.
