Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are major environmental concern due to their persistence, long-range transportability, bio-accumulation and potentially adverse effects on living organisms. Analytical chemistry plays an essential role in the measurement of POPs and provides important information on their distribution and environmental transformations. Much effort has been devoted during the last two decades to the development of faster, safer, more reliable and more sensitive analytical techniques for these pollutants. Since the Stockholm Convention (SC) on POPs was adopted 12 years ago, analytical methods have been extensively developed. This review article introduces recent analytical techniques and applications for the determination of POPs in environmental and biota samples, and summarizes the extraction, separation and instrumental analyses of the halogenated POPs. Also, this review covers important aspects for the analyses of SC POPs (e.g. lipid determination and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)), and finally discusses future trends for improving the POPs analyses and for potential new POPs.
持久性有机污染物（POPs）因其持久性、长距离迁移性、生物蓄积性以及对生物的潜在不利影响而备受关注。分析化学在 POPs 的测量中起着至关重要的作用，为它们的分布和环境转化提供了重要信息。在过去的二十年中，人们致力于开发更快、更安全、更可靠和更灵敏的分析技术来检测这些污染物。自 12 年前通过关于持久性有机污染物的《斯德哥尔摩公约》（SC）以来，分析方法得到了广泛的发展。本文综述了近年来在环境和生物样品中测定 POPs 的分析技术及应用，并对卤代 POPs 的提取、分离和仪器分析进行了总结。此外，本文还涵盖了分析 SC POPs 的重要方面（例如，脂质测定和质量保证/质量控制（QA/QC）），最后讨论了改进 POPs 分析的未来趋势和潜在的新 POPs。
