Desempenho analítico de laboratórios prestadores de serviço na determinação de metais em águas

Abstract: Recebido em 9/4/08; aceito em 12/9/08; publicado na web em 26/1/09 ANALYTICAL PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACTOR LABORATORIES IN THE DETERMINATION OF METALS IN WATER.Analytical laboratories are expected to produce reliable results. Decision makers are guided in their actions (financial, legal and environmental) using analytical data provided by numerous laboratories. This work aimed to evaluate the analytical performance of Brazilian laboratories on producing trustworthy results. Nineteen laboratories, accredited and n… Show more

“…This occurs particularly when the analytical results are demanded in cases of environmental risk assessment, which always involve spending of financial resources, allocation of human resources and legal actions. 18 However, validated and consolidated methods, in some cases, have deficiencies that must be improved, being the Soxhlet use a case.…”

“…These differences show that there is a lack of consensus in the analytical procedures of organic pollutants extraction from environmental matrices, even in cases where protocols are internationally validated and are also recognized as reference. 18 Considering these aspects, the main goal of this study was to evaluate the critical steps implicated in the determination of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments by Soxhlet, aiming the improvement of an already established method.…”

“…Em escala nacional, mesmo laboratórios certificados não necessariamente mostram proficiência neste tipo de análise, sabidamente em água, mas também com prováveis falhas para outros tipos de matrizes mais complexas. 102 Outras fontes de contaminação que não os metais ficam fora desta análise que utiliza os parâmetros MES e SVA. 6 Os testes de toxicidade podem chamar a atenção para esse aspecto, em situações onde não se espera potencial tóxico para a matriz (MES < SVA), mas esta é verificada mesmo assim, denotando a presença de outros agentes que o modelo não contempla.…”
