Abstract
Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) are homogeneous, well-characterized materials that are used to validate measurements and improve the quality of analytical data. NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has a wide variety of SRMs useful for environmental chemical analysis of organic constituents. This chapter will provide information on the current NIST activities for the development of SRMs for environmental samples and discuss the newer analytical approaches used to measure chemicals of emerging concern.
