Test for Headspace Analysis for Volatile Organic Compounds with EPA 5021A GC MS

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EPA 5021A testing. This standard describes the stability-based static headspace preparation of volatile matter.

This standard is applicable to a wide variety of organic compounds with sufficiently high volatility to be effectively removed from samples using the conditions described. While the method is designed for use on samples containing low VOC levels or aqueous dilutions to be analyzed by direct steam splitting, a solvent extraction and extract introduction procedure is also described for solid samples containing high concentrations of VOCs or oily materials that may be present. not suitable for low-level technique.

This preparation method is intended to be combined with a deterministic method such as Method 8015, 8021 or 8260. This method of preparation is suitable for the compounds listed below and may also be suitable for other VOCs included in the determining method, the method performance provided has been shown to be acceptable for the intended use of the data.

Samples high in oil content or organic sludge residues will provide low surrogate recoveries, preventing VOCs from splitting in the headspace. In addition, soil absorption potential, soil biological activity, and soil composition can also affect partitioning ability.
