No

Methods & Procedures

Procedures and methodology used for, e.g., sampling and sample storage, sample pretreatment, extraction and analysis, including which laboratories are involved, references to methods employed, etc.

The data samples will be collected in a number of ways depending on the matrix. Derek Muir, National Water Research Institute, Canada is responsible for a large number a the analysis of POPs in the Dansih part of AMAP. The reference to our own POP analysis methology is "Cleemann et al.; Journal af AOAC International, vol. 82, No. 5, 1999."
