PBDEs in environmental samples: Sampling and analysis

► The review describes commonly used analytical procedures for determining PBDE in environmental samples. ► Information on the subsequent stages of analytical procedure (e.g. sample collection, extraction, clean up, etc.) is presented. ► The special attention is paid to the newly developed and promising microextraction techniques. ► Authors describe the limitations that may occur during the analysis of highly brominated congeners (e.g. BDE209).
