EPA Method 8280B:POLYCHLORINATED DIBENZO-p-DIOXINS (PCDDs) AND POLYCHLORINATED DIBENZOFURANS (PCDFs) BY HIGH-RESOLUTION GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/ LOW-RESOLUTION MASS SPECTROMETRY (HRGC/LRMS)
Summary: This procedure uses a matrix-specific extraction, analyte-specific cleanup, and high-resolution capillary column gas chromatography/low-resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC/LRMS) analytical techniques.
Scope:This method is appropriate for the detection and quantitative measurement of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (2,3,7,8- TCDF), and the 2,3,7,8-substituted penta-, hexa-, hepta-, and octachlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs)in water (at part-per-trillion concentrations), soil, fly ash, and chemical waste samples, including stillbottom, fuel oil, and sludge matrices (at part-per-billion concentrations).
