BS EN 16694 specifies a method for the determination of polybrominated diphenly ether (PBDE) in whole water samples listed in Table 1. The method described in BS EN 16694 uses solid-phase disk extraction with SPE-disks followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
BS EN 16694 applies to the analysis of PBDEs in surface water containing suspended particulate matter (SPM) up to 500 mg/l (whole water samples), drinking water, and groundwater.
The lower and upper limit of the working range depends on the matrix, on the specific compound to be analyzed, and on the sensitivity of the mass spectrometric detection unit.
BS EN 16694 on water quality is relevant to:
Polybrominated diphenly ether (PBDE) are being regulated at the EU level as an environmental quality standard to protect aquatic environments.
BS EN 16694 provides guidance and methods for determining the selected Polybrominated diphenly ether in water samples using solid-phase extraction and method and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as well as requirements and procedures for a sustainable environment.
BS EN 16694 details the procedures for sampling natural and man-made lakes, and also provides guidelines for the collection, handling, and preservation of water samples.
Overall, by removing toxins in water and making a sustainable habitat through BS EN 16694, you will be able to improve the water quality, saving the habitat, and environment.
