Statement

Samples were obtained by deploying silicon base passive samplers in coastal moorings, inside especially designed protective stainless steel/PTFE cages.

Deployment time varied between 1 and 4 months. After collection samples were stored frozen and transported to the accredited laboratory at RECETOX Masaryk University (Brno-Czech Republic).

Analysis was conducted using the accredited method for PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, PAHs and PBDEs.

Prior to analysis SRs were rinsed with tap water and distilled water and then wiped with a paper tissue. SRs were Soxhlet-extracted for 12 h in methanol. The extracts were reduced in volume to 15 ml using Kuderna Danish concentrator. The final evaporation was provided with gentle stream of high purity nitrogen to about 2 ml. The samples were cleaned up using silica gel column (sulphuric acid modified silica gel was applied for organochlorines), reduced and internal standards were added. Terphenyl and PCB 121 were used as internal standards for PAHs and PCBs, respectively. Samples were analysed by GC/MS.
