Validation of VOCs by USEPA Method 8260C

In order to determine the concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water and soil matrices the USEPA developed Method 8260C1 in conjunction with preparative Methods 50302 and 50353. Water and soil sample analysis were analyzed in this study. A working linear calibration curve and Method Detection Limits (MDLs) will be demonstrated for various target compounds from the approved list. The water study used a 5mL sample volume, while the soil study utilized a 5 gram mass under in vial purge conditions. Following the guidelines of USEPA Method 8260C, an Atomx automated VOC sample prep system in conjunction with a GCMS was used to validate the method.
