Ecological Risk Assessment of Perchlorate in Avian Species, Rodents, Amphibians and Fish: FY2004
Abstract
Our group was charged with quantification of energetic compound residues (Figure 1) in environmentally relevant samples. This required method validation for several sample types and method implementation within ongoing research projects. All methods were validated on three separate days by two individuals. All limits of detection (LODs) were determined using analyses of at least 7 samples that contained analyte concentrations within 8 times the suspected LOD. All analyses for toxicants in fate and effect studies used techniques previously verified within the Analytical Support section of this research program. In previous years, we developed methods to determine explosives in water, soil, organ tissue, blood, plants, eggs, and animal food With the exception of water analysis each of these methods required Extraction with acetonitrile, and clean-up with florisil solid phase extraction (SPE) columns. In the case of liver and egg samples styrene-divinyl benzene SPE columns were also needed.
