Trace determination of the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A in the atmosphere by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
A simple and effective method has been developed for analysis of the flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in environmental samples by using modified soxhlet extraction in combination with silica gel clean-up, derivatization with silylation reagent and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (G...
