US EPA Method 8270D specifies a procedure for the determination of semivolatiles in solid waste and ground water samples. The long list of analytes includes compounds of a variety of functionalities. A 0.25 μm df column is commonly used for this method, as it will allow for a short analysis time. However, the thin phase film of this dimension limits its sample capacity. An alternative choice is a 0.50 μm df column, which can accommodate higher concentrations and thus extend the calibration range.
The USEPA Clean Water Act (CWA) requires national approval for all methods used for CWA compliance. There are approved methods for the determination of inorganic nitrogen (NO3-N, NO2-N, and NH3-N), and for organic nitrogen (TKN – NH3-N)2. There are no EPA approved methods for the determination of total nitrogen although it is a required parameter in many USEPA permits, including monitoring of nutrient pollution for ambient water criteria. Because Part 136.3 Table 1b methods are required, laboratories have...
This application note describes the methodology and use of the Shimadzu ICPMS-2030 ICP mass spectrometer for the analysis of trace elements in drinking and fresh waters following the EPA 200.8 method. This method is also used for analysis of wastewater. In-line addition of internal standards to calibration and unknown samples was accomplished using the Shimadzu Internal Standard Addition Kit. Based on the internal diameter of peristaltic tubing used for sample and internal standard injection, the approximate...
Introduction
The Shimadzu ICPE-9820 multi-type ICP atomic emission spectrometer is the ideal instrument for running EPA Method 200.7. The ICPE-9820 permits simultaneous analysis of all elements, at all wavelengths, allowing high-throughput analysis with little need for dilution. The large 1-inch CCD detector with over 1 million pixels measures 110,000 wavelengths. Overflow channels prevent blooming, providing more active surface area on the detector. Equipped with a mini-torch, the instrument can achieve excellent...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently announced the availability of two proposed test methods and associated testing guidance for evaluating antimicrobial pesticides against two biofilm bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus, for comments. EPA states that registrants of antimicrobial products with public health claims are “required to submit efficacy data to EPA in support of the product’s registration” under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and...
The US Environmental Protection Agency periodically updates methods laboratories can use for protecting the quality of the nation`s drinking water. The Safe Drinking Water Act office of the EPA published its list of Alternate Test Protocols (ATP) in the Federal Register in July 2016. The list includes NECi Superior Enzymes` enzyme-based nitrate test method. NECi/SE, a small biotechnology firm in Michigan`s Upper Peninsula, applies biotechnology to develop safer methods for measuring the pollutants in our...
