Abstract The growing knowledge of the impact halogenated phenolic compounds on hormonal and metabolic systems has led to an increased interest in exposure potential effects these wildlife. In present study, a screening procedure was developed detect quantify serum plasma from marine A mass spectral library containing selective ion monitoring data created using gas chromatography electron capture negative ionization spectrometry. were accompanied with retention indices increase specificity each entry library. together extraction optimized instrumental settings can be used for detection 52 different environmental concern, including 23 hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls 24 polybrominated diphenyl ethers. instrument limit included ranged 30 320 fg/injection, median 90 fg/injection. average recovery 11 compounds, four species wildlife, 66 ± 14%. full-scan also additional seven compounds. Gray seals, long-tailed ducks, two fish Baltic Sea screened procedure. total 33 detected quantified.
