Abstract:

The second generation of the European Reference Soil-Set, the so-called EUROSOILS, has been introduced recently. The presence of organic micro-pollutants in this new type of reference materials has already been studied for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, triazines, phenylureas and other pesticides. The already large amount of data concerning the level of different contaminants, the elemental composition and matrix properties is completed by a survey by means of GC/MS on the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs) and other chlorinated hydrocarbons. Higher concentrations for 4,4'-DDT in EUROSOIL 2 (10.57 +/- 0.02 ng/g), for dieldrin in EUROSOIL 3 (8.85 +/- 0.87 ng/g) and for heptachlor-epoxide in EUROSOIL 4 (5.86 +/- 0.16 ng/g) could be detected. Sum concentrations for PCDD/Fs were 15.02 ng/kg (EUROSOIL 1), 214.29 ng/kg (EUROSOIL 2), 873.32 ng/kg (EUROSOIL 3), 54.47 ng/kg (EUROSOIL 4) and 119.61 ng/kg (EUROSOIL 5).
