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