Standard Mixtures for EPA 600 Series<br />
For Waste <strong>Water</strong><br />
Background Information<br />
The EPA Methods for evaluating municipal and industrial<br />
wastewater pollutants are designated in the EPA 600 Series.<br />
This Series of methods evolved from the 1976 agreement by<br />
the EPA to study and, if necessary, to regulate 65“priority<br />
pollutants”. Several laboratories within the EPA collaborated<br />
on research projects that led to the 600 Series Methods.<br />
Methods 601-612 were first published in 1979, along with a<br />
GC/MS method for the measurement of TCDD. AccuStandard<br />
followed the expansion of the 600 series methods by<br />
formulating analytical standards for additional 600 series<br />
methods listed in the EPA book “Methods for the Determination<br />
of Nonconventional Pesticides in Municipal and Industrial<br />
Wastewater.”<br />
The 600 Series product line contains standards used in the<br />
proposed and promulgated methods for the identification and<br />
quantification of organic compounds in municipal and industrial<br />
waste water. The organic compounds listed in the various<br />
methods include volatile organic compounds (VOCs),<br />
pesticides and synthetic organic compounds (SOCs).<br />
Detectors<br />
Analytical techniques used in the identification and<br />
quantification of the above compounds include gas<br />
chromatography with selective detectors (PID, ELCD, ECD,<br />
FID, NPD, FPD), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry<br />
(GC/MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).<br />
The 600 series methods typically utilize packed columns, but<br />
chromatographic conditions can be modified (i.e.incorporation<br />
of advances in technology like capillary columns) if the<br />
modifications do not decrease the accuracy or lessen the<br />
precision of the method.<br />
Comprehensive<br />
Complete analysis of the target compounds by these 600<br />
Series Methods can be accomplished using the series of<br />
standards formulated by AccuStandard for each method along<br />
with the suggested internal and surrogate standards.<br />
Formulations have been developed as easy to use large core<br />
mixes containing the target compounds and as high<br />
concentration sub-mixes for combination with other<br />
formulations to meet laboratory specific analyte detection<br />
requirements.<br />
