Abstract

Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) was used for the purity determination of neat compounds of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). qNMR is a unique quantitative method that is not only traceable to the International System of Units (SI), but it also does not require a standard of its own. The purities of the POP compounds determined in this work were traceable to a single certified reference material (CRM), which is extremely attractive for reference material producers. The purities observed by qNMR were equivalent to those observed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC/FID) or a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) combined with a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The uncertainties obtained by the qNMR method were comparable to being slightly larger than those observed by DSC.
