Chlorinated dibenzofuran Chlorinated dibenz(p)dioxin Chlorinated diphenyl ether Compound Structures Dioxin, Furan, PCDE Background Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

Polychlorinated dibenzo(p)Dioxin 12 carbon atoms (~12 amu) 2 oxygen atoms (~32 amu) Multiple chlorine atoms add mass in increments of ~35 or 37 amu Base mass with no chlorine = 184 amu Up to 8 positions where chlorine atoms can be substituted Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

12 carbon atoms (~12 amu) 1 oxygen atoms (~16 amu) Up to 8 positions where chlorine atoms can be substituted Base mass with no chlorine = ~168 amu Multiple chlorine atoms add mass in increments of ~35 or 37 amu Polychlorinated dibenzofuran Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

Polychlorinated diphenyl ether 12 carbon atoms (~12 amu) 1 oxygen atoms (~16 amu) Base mass with no chlorine = ~170 amu Up to 10 positions where chlorine atoms can be substituted (two more positions than Dioxins or Furans) Multiple chlorine atoms add mass in increments of ~35 or 37 amu Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

Sample Acquisition (Sorbent Sampling Train) Target Compound Recovery (Extraction of Filter + Sorbent) Target Compound Separation and Cleanup (Liquid Chromatography of Extract) Target Compound Separation (High Resolution Gas Chromatography) Identify and Quantify Compounds (High Resolution Mass Spectrometry) Method 23 Basics Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

1.The carrier gas (red) transports the sample to the separation column. 2.The rate of flow of the carrier gas is controlled to give the separation of the components in the sample. 3.The carrier gas enters the GC through an inlet. 4.The sample is injected into the carrier gas and vaporizes. 5.The gaseous sample separates out as it moves along the column (orange). The temperature of the oven is be carefully controlled. 6. The sample components enter a detector that senses the time and quantity of material 7.The detector signal is recorded How does gas chromatography work? Mass Spectro meter Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

Compounds emerge from the GC column roughly based on their volatility. Identification by retention time requires: Comparison to isotopically-labeled standard if present or Comparison to relative retention time of calibration standards or Comparison to the corresponding homologous compound retention time windows. GC Identification Criteria for Target Compounds Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

1. Sample components enter a vacuum chamber in the order they emerge from the GC. 2.The components are bombarded with electrons turning them into characteristic mass fragments of the compounds (ions). 3.The ions are accelerated and 4. Separated according to the amount of charge and mass they have. 5.The ions are detected and the fragments (amount and mass) are recorded. How does a mass spectrometer work? Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

Mass fragment patterns (like a fingerprint) are related to the strength that holds the atoms together. Qualitative Identification requires Characteristic Ions (2) must maximize simultaneously Characteristic ion quantity (ratio of 2) must meet method specifications Signal to noise ratio for ions must be ≥ 2.5 Polychlorinated diphenyl ether (PCDE) interference mass must be absent MS Identification Criteria for Target Compounds Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

PCBE Interference Example Cl 35 Cl 37 Cl 35 C 12 H 4 35 Cl 5 37 ClO (HxCDPE Mass ) Cl 35 C 12 H 2 35 Cl 4 37 Cl 2 O (HxCDPE Mass ) Cl 35 4-Cl 35, 2-Cl 37 Hexachlorodibenzofuran and 5-Cl 35, Cl 37 Hexachlorodiphenyl ether Cl 35 Cl 37 Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

SW-846 Method 8290 An estimated maximum possible concentration (EMPC) is calculated for 2,3,7,8-substituted isomers that Are above detection limit (S/N ≥ 2.5 for both the quantitation ions) and meet all of the identification criteria in the method except the ion abundance ratio criteria or when a peak representing a PCDPE has been detected. An EMPC is a worst-case estimate of the concentration. Method 23 makes no mention of EMPC EMPC Definition Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

Interferences (e.g., chlorinated diphenyl ethers) Typical Cause – Inadequate sample cleanup after extraction Potential Remedy - reprocess archive and reanalyze or retest Mass Spectrometer Setup (e.g., ion ratios) Typical Cause – Incorrect or drifting instrument tuning Potential Remedy – Maintenance, retune, recalibrate, reprocess archive and reanalyze or retest Detection limitations Typical Cause - Insufficient sample size Potential Remedy -- Retest collecting additional sample (more stack gas/DSCM) Or decide detection limit is low enough and report as zero per the method. Practical Summary of EMPC Causes and Remedies Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards Air Quality Assessment Division Measurement Technology Group Emission Measurement Center

Method 23 does not address EMCP We recommend requiring sources to report EMPC (according to SW-846 Method 8290). We recommend including EMPC in emissions calculations. If EMPC results in emission non-compliance, then facilities and testers should pursue potential remedies or retest.
