2nd EMERCON project workshop on “Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and their occurrence in food and environmental matrices” was organised at VSCHT Praha, Czech Republic, on 25 November 2010
This workshop provided participants knowledge about issues related to the new emerging contaminants, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), in food and environment and approaches to their analysis in food and environmental matrices. Workshop key objectives were:
- Overview of issues related to the PFCs in food and environment
- Analytical approaches for PFCs determination in food and environmental matrices
- Information about EMERCON interlaboratory study focused on implementation of the procedure for PFCs determination in food into routine practice
- Discussion of future challenges in PFCs research
Following workshop, participants were familiarized about issues related to the perfluorinated compounds in the environment and able to apply methodology for determination of PFCs in food into practice.
