Abstract
The production of reference materials for quality control of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) speciation in environmental samples is described. It concerns in the first place two lyophilized solutions containing Cr(III) and Cr(VI) at different concentrations, respectively representative for drinking water and filter leaching solutions, and in the second place filters loaded with welding dust. Twenty-four laboratories with experience in the field participated in an intercomparison exercise organized to validate the suitability of the reference materials and to gauge the state-of-the-art of Cr speciation throughout Europe. The outcome of this exercise is discussed.
