Brief Method Summary

Extractable base/neutral and acid pollutants are subjected to liquid-liquid extraction. The pollutants in the extracts are then determined by GC/MS.

Scope and Application

This method is applicable to municipal and industrial discharges.

Applicable Concentration Range

None given.

Interferences

(1) Contamination of samples, solvent, and carrier gases with target analytes (especially compounds common to environmental laboratories, like methylene chloride). (2) Contamination of samples with sulfur (primarily present in base-neutral fractions). (3) Septum bleed (compounds from the injection s

Quality Control Requirements

QCS, FD, PE, SB

Sample Handling

Collect samples in 1 L amber glass bottles. Refrigerate samples at 4^oC, away from the light, until analysis. Treat samples with 80 mg sodium thiosulfate/L of sample if residual chlorine is present. Extract samples within 7 days of collection and analyze within 40 days of extraction.

Maximum Holding Time

7 days (prior to extraction) 40 days (after extraction)

Relative Cost

$201 to $400

Precision Descriptor Notes:	The precision and accuracy values were determined using regression equations derived from a 15 laboratory validation study. This study determined analytes using reagent water, drinking water, surface water, and industrial wastewaters with additions at six concentrations over the range 5 to 1300 ?g/L. Single-operator precision, overall precision, and method bias were found to be related directly to the compound concentration and essentially independent of the sample matrix. Linear equations describing these relationships are presented in Table 6410:VI. See: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 1984. EPA Method Study 30, Method 625-Base/Neutrals, Acids, and Pesticides. EPA-600/4-84-053, National Technical Information Service, PB84-206572, Springfield, VA.
Detection Level Note:	MDLs determined per 40 CFR part 136, Appendix B. (Taken from EPA Method 625 validation data).
