“…Despite being of utmost importance to obtain precise results, the addition of an internal standard (IS) to the samples was performed in few studies ( Basanta et al, 2012 ; Corradi et al, 2015 ; Fowler et al, 2015 ; Berna et al, 2021 ; Ibrahim et al, 2021 ; Van Oort et al, 2022 ; Ahmed et al, 2023 ; Cen et al, 2023 ; Myers et al, 2023 ) ( Tables 1 , 3 ; Supplementary Table S1 ). Likewise, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, a desorption tube bleeding compound, was used as an internal reference compound ( Callol-Sanchez et al, 2017 ; Jareño-Esteban et al, 2017 ; Muñoz-Lucas et al, 2020 ). The ISs used include not isotopically labeled compounds such as 1,4-difluorobenzene, 2-methylpentanal, 4-bromofluorobenzene, bromochloromethane, and stable isotopically labeled ones, such as acetone-d8, 1,4-dichlorobenzene-d4, chlorobenzene-d5, bromobenzene-d5, hexane-d14, n-heptane-d16, n-octane-d18, phenanthrene-d10, styrene-d8, toluene-d8, and xylene-d10.…”
