Thepurg�ed sample is analyzed <br /> on a Gas Chromatograph equipped with a Photoionization Detector (PID). A <br /> packed column is used to separate the compounds <br /> SOIL - Method 8020 R <br /> A 10 gram, or other appropriate aliquot of soil, weighed into a clean <br /> VOA vial. Soils received in brass core tubes are jsa mpied by discarding 2-5 <br /> centimeters of soil from each end of the tubes (this is done to reduce the <br /> possibility of analyzing a portion of soil that hast been exposed to sampling <br /> technique contamination). Equal aliquots of soil are then removed from <br /> each end of the tube and combined in the VOA vial. Soil in jars or bags <br /> is aliquoted using a similar technique, which discards exposed sa mple <br /> surfaces. A 10 ml, or other appropriate volume of methanol, is added to <br /> the soil and the soil is shaken with the solvent. 1100 ul of the extract, or <br /> a reduced aliquot or volume of a suitable dilution, is injected into 5 ml of <br /> laboratory blank water and analyzed by the same i�technique used for water <br /> sa mples. <br /> i <br /> i <br /> CHEMWEST ANALYTICAL LABORATORIES.IN, <br />
