What is it about?
We send out test samples to interested laboratories and they report back the amounts of certain persistent organic pollutants. The test materials included test solutions of analytical standards, sediment, air (extract), water; fish, human milk and human plasma.

Why is it important?
The Global Monitoring Plan (GMP) of the Stockholm Convention requires that POP laboratories must be capable – at any time – to analyse samples for POPs within a variation of ±25%.
Perspectives
These interlaboratory assessments allow identifying POPs laboratories capabable to analyse POPs in certain matrices (at a given time).
