1 • � <br /> 1 <br /> ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY <br /> 1 BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl Benzene, and Xylenes) by Purge & Trap and <br /> GC-PID <br /> 1 <br /> WATER -- Method 602 or 8020 <br /> ' A 5 ml sample volume, or 5 ml of a suitable dilution, is purged on a <br /> suitable purge and trap system with helium. The purged sample is analyzed <br /> on a Gas Chromatograph equipped with a Photoionization Detector (PID). A <br /> 1 packed column is used to separate the compounds. <br /> 1 SOIL - Method 8020 <br /> 1 A 10 gram, or other appropriate aliquot of soil., is weighed into a clean <br /> VOA vial. Soils received in brass core tubes are sampled by discarding 2-5 <br /> centimeters of soil from each end of the tubes (this is done to reduce the <br /> posszbi-hty of analyzing a portion of soil that has 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 bars or bags <br /> is ahquoted using a similar technique, which discards exposed sample <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. 100 ul of the extract, or <br /> a reduced aliquot or volume of a suitable dilution, is infected into 5 ml of <br /> 1 laboratory blank water and analyzed by the same technique used for water <br /> sa mples. <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br /> 1 CHEMWESTANALYTICALLABORATORIES INC <br />
