Using the Teledyne Tekmar HT3 Headspace Analyzer to Meet the Requirements of the Korean Standard Method for Drinking Water, ES05602.3, for 1,4-Dioxane

The Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea recently updated the Korean Standard Method for Drinking Water to include seven new harmful substances to the list of compounds subject of wastewater discharge standards from 35 to 42. One of the methods specified in this update for drinking water is ES05602.3 utilizing static headspace with GC/MS to monitor 1,4-dioxane, one of the seven new compounds.

The Teledyne Tekmar HT3 Headspace Analyzer was used to perform the method for the quantitation of 1,4-dioxane in drinking water by the static headspace GC/MS method.

The method requires the correlation coefficient to be greater than 0.98 for the 5 point calibration curve and the MDL be less than 1ppb. The HT3 surpassed these requirements of the Korean Standard Method.
