Figure S1 Quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot of matrix effect values (two outliers excluded). If normally distributed, data points should form a straight line. Insert: Box plot of matrix effect values indicating two outliers (values outside the whiskers). The six data points represent the three highest and lowest matrix effect values, corresponding to FRs: 1 = V6; 2 = TBBPA; 3 = 2,4,6-TBP; 4 = DBHCTD; 5 = TDBP-TAZTO; 6 = PBBBr.

Figure S2 Matrix effect, calculated with equation 2, for individual FRs when analyzing a spiked river extract without any clean-up. Matrix effect ≥ 1.1 means enhancement, ≤ 0.9 means suppression, and a value close to 1 (red line) means no matrix enhancement or suppression.
