Study design

Details on sampling:
34 samples received The Netherlands, consisting of 4 sediment samples and 30 biota samples were analyzed for 4 plasticizers..
Biota samples:
Invertebrates: 1 samples worms, 4 samples shrimp, lipid content 0.9 - 1.1%
Vertebrates: 2 samples herring, 1 pout, 1 sea bass, 4 plaice, 9 flounder, 5 sole, lipid content 1.2 - 10.2%

Any other information on results incl. tables

In none of the sediment samples DPHP was detected in concentrations above 5 µg/kg dry weight. Quality control was done by spiking experiments, DPHP recoveries were 99%.

In none of the biota samples DPHP was detected in concentrations above 100 ng/g fat. In the chromatograms of the spiked samples the target compound could be easily detected.
