A simple method for simultaneous isolation of 7 indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 10 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 22 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), and 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (16 EU PAHs) is described in this study. The sample preparation procedure, including a pressurised liquid extraction (PLE) followed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) for the selective isolation of the target compounds, was optimised and validated. For the final identification/quantitation of the target PCBs, PBDEs, OCPs, and PAHs, gas chromatography (GC) coupled to a high speed time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF MS) was used. The performance characteristics of the procedure were assessed including the recoveries (86-118% for PCBs, 73-113% for PBDEs, 71-113% for OCPs, and 85-111% for PAHs), repeatabilities (3-12% PCBs, 3-9% PBDEs, 1-11% OCPs and 3-10% PAHs), and limits of quantitation (LOQs - 0.5 microg/kg PCBs, 0.1-0.3 microg/kg PBDEs, 0.1-0.5 microg/kg OCPs, and 0.03-0.1 microg/kg PAHs). Within the follow-up study, this method will be used for the monitoring of contamination of canned fish and sea food products available at the Czech market.
