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 />
