Abstract

Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1947a Great Lakes Fish Tissue is intended to be used in the evaluation of analytical methods for the determination of contaminants, including mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated pesticides, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The development of SRM 1947a was to create a replacement material for both SRM 1946 Lake Superior Fish Tissue and SRM 1947 Lake Michigan Fish Tissue. This publication documents the production, analytical methods, and statistics used to characterize the material.
