Abstract

The paper presents an overview about the outcome of two hands-on courses on environmental reference material production organised by the European Commission’s Environment Institute within the context of its PHARE-AQUACON activities. Two plant reference materials, i.e. TP-28 (black tea) and TP-29 (mallow) were prepared and characterised by the course participants. Data on homogeneity and information values about the contents of inorganic and organic pollutants are presented. Furthermore, information about the AQUACON-Project are given, too.
