Chloffin: Improving environmental monitoring

CHLOFFIN and Chiron AS project: an alliance for precise analyses of chlorinated paraffins

Chlorinated Paraffins (or CPs) are chemical compounds widely used as lubricants, plasticizers and flame retardants. Their industrial utility is undeniable, but their toxicity and persistence in the environment pose serious problems for human and ecological health. To address these challenges, the European CHLOFFIN (Chlorinated Paraffins: Fate, Fluxes and Impacts) project aims to improve the understanding and analysis of these complex substances. Here are some explanations.

An urgent need for reliable analytical standards

Chlorinated paraffins come in complex mixtures, making their analysis tricky. Many European laboratories struggle to compare their data due to the lack of harmonised analytical standards. This is hampering environmental monitoring and effective policies to regulate these persistent pollutants.

Chiron AS: the key supplier of Certified Reference Materials (CRM)

To meet these challenges, the CHLOFFIN project is working closely with Chiron AS laboratories, specialists in the development of CRMs dedicated to the analysis of chlorinated paraffins. These Certified Reference Materials standardize analyses, improving the accuracy and reliability of the results obtained by researchers.

Chiron AS offers a complete range of native and labeled standards for chlorinated paraffin congeners. Unlike technical mixtures, these standards are rigorously evaluated in terms of purity and chemical structure. This includes solutions for very short chain paraffins (vSCCPs) to very long chain paraffins (vLCCPs), providing unparalleled analytical capacity for research and environmental monitoring.

CHLOFFIN: standardizing the analysis of chlorinated paraffins in Europe

By integrating Chiron AS’s CRMs, the CHLOFFIN project pursues several key objectives:

Strengthen environmental monitoring: Accurately detect chlorinated paraffins in water, soil, air, and other environmental samples.
Facilitate data comparability: Harmonize analytical methods to reduce disparities between laboratories.
Promote research and regulation: Provide reliable data to inform policy decisions on the management of persistent pollutants.

Chiron AS: a strategic partner of the Chloffin project.

As a leading CRM provider for chlorinated paraffins, Chiron AS plays an important role in advancing the research carried out by the CHLOFFIN project. Their collaboration not only ensures more reliable analyses, but also contributes to the development of European strategies for the reduction of persistent pollutants.
