 | IMEP-23 the eight WFD priority PAHs |
 |
IMEP-23 is a campaign for laboratories involved in water quality monitoring
activities. This interlaboratory comparison deals with the determination of
the eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) that are considered priority
substances by the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). These substances are
naphthalene, anthracene, fluoranthene, benzo[b]fluoranthene,
benzo[k]fluoranthene, benzo[a]pyrene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene and
benzo[ghi]perylene. The sample matrix is water with added humic acids.

Characteristic for this study is its high metrological standard. This may be
of particular interest to those who are involved in water quality monitoring
activities. The measurement results are evaluated against traceable reference
values where possible, and uncertainty statements when provided by
participants are included in the evaluation. Participating in IMEP-23 also
helps laboratories to benchmark their performance with peers throughout Europe.
