5.2.2 Chemicals<br />
Except for HHCB (51 % purity), all solvents, native <strong>and</strong> m<strong>as</strong>s-labelled analytical st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
<strong>and</strong> g<strong>as</strong>es were <strong>of</strong> highest purity. A detailed table <strong>of</strong> all compounds, suppliers <strong>and</strong> qualities is<br />
listed in supporting information.<br />
5.2.3 Extraction <strong>of</strong> semi-volatile PFCs, PBDEs <strong>and</strong> musk fragrances in g<strong>as</strong>-ph<strong>as</strong>e<br />
samples<br />
PFCs in g<strong>as</strong>-ph<strong>as</strong>e samples were extracted according to the method <strong>of</strong> Dreyer et al. (2008).<br />
Details on sample preparation can be found in section 4.2.3. G<strong>as</strong>eous PBDEs <strong>and</strong> musk<br />
fragrances extraction procedures are described in section 3.<br />
Briefly, PUF/XAD-2/PUF cartridges were cold extracted three times (1 h, 1 h, 30 min) using<br />
MTBE/acetone 1:1 (v:v) for PFCs <strong>and</strong> hexane/acetone 1:1 (v:v) for PBDEs <strong>and</strong> musk<br />
fragrances. The volume <strong>of</strong> the extracts w<strong>as</strong> reduced to 150 μL <strong>and</strong> extracts were transferred to<br />
me<strong>as</strong>urement vials. Prior to the me<strong>as</strong>urement, 50 μL <strong>of</strong> an injection st<strong>and</strong>ard solution<br />
containing 13 C HCB <strong>and</strong> TCB D3 (c=400 pg μL -1 ; PFC analysis) or 13 C HCB <strong>and</strong><br />
Fluoranthene D15 (c=400 pg μL -1 , PBDEs <strong>and</strong> musk fragrance analysis) w<strong>as</strong> added.<br />
