The Inter-Laboratories Comparison exercise in the Interreg Atlantic Area MONITOOL project showed that laboratories experienced in measuring trace levels of metals in marine environments can satisfactorily perform DGT analysis, with some laboratories achieving high levels of satisfactory results for Cd, Ni, and Pb. Such international intercomparison exercises are crucial for improving data quality and developing the laboratory network involved in DGT analysis.
In order to move forward in the acceptance of a novel contaminant monitoring technique (Diffusive Gradients in Thin -films: DGT) for assessment of marine water bodies, sensu the WFD, an Inter-Laboratories Comparison (ILC) exercise (nine Europeans laboratories) was organized in the framework of the Interreg Atlantic Area MONITOOL project, which focused on the use of the DGT technique for the measurement of WFD priority metals (Cd, Ni and Pb). Reproducible results were obtained for each metal by several laboratories, supporting the assertion that DGT analysis can be performed satisfactorily by laboratories experienced in measuring metals at trace levels in marine environ-ments, even if they have limited practice in DGT analysis. According to the Z-score analysis, among the 9 participating laboratories, 3 had 100 % of satisfactory results for Cd, Ni, and Pb, 3 had > 80 % satisfactory results and 2 had about 60 % satisfactory results. This work highlights the need to clearly describe the DGT method in order to control sources of contamination during analytical steps, in particular the resin gel retrieval and the elution steps. Such international intercomparison exercise is an important step to develop the laboratory network involved in DGT analysis and contributes to the improvement of data quality.
