Abstract

Methods were developed for analyzing total organochlorine (TOC1) and total organobromine (TOBr) in different kinds of water, sediment and biological samples. Sediment samples were extracted with alkaline propanone and biological samples with a neutral propanone + water solution. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) was used for the halogen determination. The detection limits for TOC1 and TOBr are respectively 5 and 0.5 /ig l^-1 for water (sample size 100 ml) and 0.3 and 0.1 μg g^-1 dw (sample size 1 g) for sediment and biological samples. Recoveries for common organochlorine compounds were usually over 90%.

TOC1 concentrations measured in waters in a natural condition were below 15 μg l^-1; and in polluted waters, from 100 to 500 μg l^-1 and occasionally to 2000 μg l^-1. TOBr concentrations were generally well below 10μgl^-1.
