This report summarises the results of round HB87 (herbicides) within the IFA-Test Proficiency Testing Scheme for water analysis. The samples HB87A and HB87B were distributed to the participants on Monday, 4 November 2013. Closing date for reporting results to the IFA-Tulln was Friday, 29 November 2013.

Fourteen laboratories participated in this interlaboratory comparison. Eleven laboratories submitted results.

Samples

The samples consisted of simulated ground water, which was spiked with solutions of the herbicides. For sample preparation, ultrapure water was spiked with concentrated solutions of inorganic salts in order to simulate the ionic composition of natural ground water. The following salts were added to the samples: Mg(NO3)2, MgSO4, Na2SO4, NaHCO3, KHCO3, CaCl2 and Ca(NO3)2. The calculation of the target concentrations of the compounds was based on the mass of standard added to the samples.

MCPA was not added to sample HB87A. Dichlorprop was not added to sample HB87B in order to check the analytical blank values.

Homogeneity, accuracy and stability tests at the IFA-Tulln

For verification of homogeneity, each sample bottle was analysed for dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The DOC in each bottle is defined by the volume of organic solvent added with the pesticide stock solution. The results of these DOC measurements showed a relative standard deviation of max. 1.17 %. Thus, sufficient sample homogeneity could be demonstrated.

Accuracy of the assigned pesticide concentrations of Bentazone, 2,4-D, Dicamba, Dichlorprop, MCPA and Mecoprop was confirmed by HPLC-DAD measurements. For these measurements three bottles of HB87A and HB87B were analysed prior to sample dispatch. The accuracy of the concentration of Chloridazon, Desphenylchloridazon and Methyldesphenylchloridazon was proven by LC-MS/MS analysis of aliquots from two bottles each of HB87A and HB87B. The results are listed in the results tables and the parameter oriented part of the report (“IFA result“).

Stability tests for the water samples of the present proficiency testing round were carried out four weeks after dispatch. From each sample, two bottles that had been stored at 5°C in the dark were analysed for their herbicide concentrations. The results (mean values) are listed in the parameter-oriented part of this report (”Stability test”).

Results

Data evaluation was based on target concentrations that were calculated from the weights of the standards used to produce the samples. Their uncertainty intervals correspond to the expanded uncertainty (coverage factor k = 2) as described in the EURACHEM/CITAC Guide “Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical Measurement” (Second Edition).

Recoveries for individual laboratory results and overall mean values were calculated from these target concentrations. The results were tested for outliers using the Hampel outlier test (level of significance 99 %). A minimum number of four results was required for the outlier test.

The target concentration of MCPA in sample HB87A and Dichlorprop in sample HB87B, which were not added to the sample, were set to < 0.05 µg/L MCPA and < 0.05 µg/L Dichlorprop, which meets the minimum quantifiable values defined by the Austrian ground and river water monitoring program and the quantification limits of the analytical methods applied in the IFA.

Standard deviations and coefficients of variation (CVs) were only calculated when at least three results were available. The between laboratory CVs covered the range between 3.3 % (Chloridazon in sample HB87B) and 39.0 % (Methyldesphenylchloridazon in sample HB87B).

Page 4: Proficiency Testing Scheme for Water Analysis · contains the uncertainties of the target value. The reported uncertainty is an expanded uncertainty calculated using a coverage factor

The recoveries of the target concentrations, calculated from outlier-corrected data mean values ranged between 88.4 % (Bentazone in sample HB87B) and 129.1 % (Dicamba in sample HB87A).

All confidence intervals of the outlier-corrected laboratory mean values encompass the corresponding target values with their uncertainties. Thus statistically, no difference could be detected between theoretical target concentrations and outlier corrected laboratory means.

z-Scores

The most common approach is to form the z-score given by

zx xi

z z-score xi result of laboratory x target value or mean value („consensus value“) standard deviation

Thus, the z-score is the ratio of the estimated bias (difference between result and target value) and a standard deviation. The z-score criteria were determined from relative standard deviations from all interlaboratory comparisons that were organised by the IFA-Tulln in the period from 2002 to 2012. They represent long-term performance data of all former participating laboratories. The z-scores are listed together with the recoveries in the tables of the parameter oriented part.

Additionally, each laboratory obtained for every sample a single sheet that summarises the z-scores of the laboratory in graphical and tabular form.

The following table lists the z-score criteria as relative standard deviation and their limits of applicability. Z-scores were only calculated, if the target values were higher than these limits.

Parameter z-Score-criteria

(%) Lower limit

[µg/L]

Bentazone 20 0.05

2,4-D 19 0.05

Dicamba 25 0.05

Dichlorprop 17 0.05

MCPA 20 0.05

Mecoprop 19 0.05

Chloridazon 16 0.05

Desphenylchloridazon 15 0.05

Methyldesphenylchloridazon 12 0.05

Normally, a classification based on z-scores is made this way:

|z-Score| Classification

<2 satisfactory

2<|z|<3 questionable

>3 unsatisfactory

Please note that this evaluation is made on the background of the average performance of all participants of the IFA-Test-Systems proficiency testing scheme during the period from 2002 to 2012.

Illustration of results

An explanation to the illustration of the results is given on the following page. Graphical and tabular illustration of results can be divided into a parameter oriented and a laboratory-oriented part.

The laboratory-oriented part contains the measurement results and reported uncertainties of each individual laboratory for all parameters together with the achieved recoveries in graphical and tabular form. This part of the report also lists tables with the results originally reported by the laboratories.

In the parameter-oriented part the reported results and corresponding uncertainties are illustrated together with recoveries of the target values for each parameter and all laboratories. This information is presented in graphical and tabular form. Results which were identified as outliers by the Hampel test are marked with an asterisk in the column “out”. These values were not considered for calculating statistical parameters (mean values, standard deviations and confidence intervals). Moreover, the parameter oriented part contains the uncertainties of the target value. The reported uncertainty is an expanded uncertainty calculated using a coverage factor (k) of 2 which gives a level of confidence of approximately 95% (as described in the EURACHEM / CITAC Guide “Quantifying Uncertainty in Analytical Measurement” (Second Edition)). The uncertainty interval of the reference concentration is illustrated in the graph as a grey band around the 100% recovery line.

Results for which no recoveries can be calculated, are illustrated by one of the following symbols: FN (false negative), FP (false positive) or the • - symbol.

- FN: A result is false negative when the “< result” reported is lower than the corresponding target value (under consideration of the uncertainty of the target value)

- FP: False positive results can be obtained for compounds not added to the samples: a result is termed FP when it is higher than the corresponding method quantification limit of the procedure employed at the IFA-Tulln.

- •: all other results for which no recovery rate can be calculated are illustrated by this symbol
