Accurately Measuring Volatiles in Effluent Waste Using US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 624.1
Author(s)PerkinElmer, Inc.
Effluent wastewater testing is essential for protecting human health and the environment, and EPA Method 624.1 is a widely used approach for monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water. This application note demonstrates how the combination of the Teledyne LABS Tekmar Lumin Purge & Trap (P&T) concentrator, AQUATek LVA autosampler, and PerkinElmer GCMS 2400 platform delivers accurate, reliable, and highly sensitive VOC analysis while effectively managing water vapor transfer that can compromise GC/MS performance.
