15. Headspace Methods

16. EPA Method 8260 Pre-screening
Volatiles partition into vial headspace
1ml gas-tight syringe injection
GC/FID System
Use reduced compound list or reference calibration (aromatic and chlorinateds)
Dilute appropriately and run by P&T/GC/MS

17. Prescreening

18. Method RSK 175 An umbrella EPA Method for permanent gas analysis
USEPA Region 1 application notes applied to MNA
Standards readily available from Scott & Restek
Analyze Methane/Ethane/Ethene to 2ug/L
Remember Methane is a Reportable Compound in MA

19. Methane Ethane Ethene

20. CCME Method 1310 Canadian Petroleum Hydrocarbon Method for VPH/GRO
Performance based method allows for Headspace Preparation to reduce carryover contamination
PBM Criteria require strict alkane/ aromatic ratios
Pre-screen UST Samples – no reruns for baseline resolution issues
