The analytical procedure previously developed within the European project Conffidence and subsequently validated within the AOAC interlaboratory study is applicable not only for analysis of PAHs in seafood, but in our lab it is successfully applied for analysis of other groups of organic pollutants such as PCBs, OCPs, PBDEs and other brominated flame retardants. In our laboratory, the analytical method is accredited according to ISO 17025 for the whole spectrum of above mentioned analytes. - Analysis of oil/fish oil samples on halogenated POPs and PAHs with the aim of documentation of contamination of products in the common market. - Participation in the interlaboratory test FAPAS no. 665 – PAHs in olive oil and nbr. 659 – smoked fish. - Homogeneity testing during the preparation of CRM for PAHs analysis in smoked fish within the Conffidence project at IRMM. - Analysis of fish and seafood samples on PAHs, PCBs, PBDEs and OCPs within the Conffidence project. - Analysis of total diet samples and human breast milk samples on PAHs with the national project - „Impact of air pollution to genome of newborns”. - Analysis of organohalogenated pollutants in human breast milk samples in the human biomonitoring surveys conducted in the Czech Republic within the years 2012 – 2016. - Analysis of fish/seafood samples on halogenated POPs and PAHs within various commercial analysis in our laboratory with the aim of documentation of contamination of products in the common market, as well as within the monitoring of environmental contamination. It has been applied in the studies summarized below:
