Abstract

The Marine Analytical Chemistry Standards Program (MACSP) of the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC) is described. This program, established in 1976, has resulted in the production, to date, of seven reference materials for the determination of trace metals and organic compounds in marine materials. Significant contributions to the analysis of marine materials have been made in the NRCC laboratories, and through MACSP contracts. Some current projects and plans for future reference materials are also discussed.
