-w <br /> e _ r fi tits <br /> Air Toxics <br /> LABORATORY NARRATIVE <br /> Modified EPA TO-14A <br /> SCS Field Services <br /> Workorder# 1208189 <br /> Three 1 Liter Summa Canister samples were received on August 08, 2012. The laboratory performed <br /> analysis via modified EPA Method TO-14A using GC/MS in the full scan mode. <br /> This workorder was independently validated prior to submittal using 'USEPA National Functional <br /> Guidelines' as generally applied to the analysis of volatile organic compounds in air. A rules-based, <br /> logic driven, independent validation engine was employed to assess completeness, evaluate pass/fail of <br /> relevant project quality control requirements and verification of all quantified amounts. <br /> Method modifications taken to run these samples are summarized in the table below. Specific project <br /> requirements may over-ride the ATL modifications. Please note that TO-14A was validated for <br /> specially treated canisters, and the use of Tedlar bags for sample collection is outside the scope of the <br /> method. <br /> Requirement TO-14A ATL Modifications <br /> Initial Calibration criteria RSD</=30% Follow TO-15 requirements of RSD</=30%with two <br /> compounds allowed out to</=400/oRSD. <br /> BFB absolute abundance Within 10%of that CCV internal standard area counts are compared to <br /> criteria from previous day ICAL,corrective action when recovery is less than 60%. <br /> Blank acceptance criteria <0.20 ppbv <Reporting Limit <br /> Sample Drying System Nafion Dryer Multibed hydrophobic sorbent <br /> BFB ion abundance criteria Ion abundance listed in Follow ion abundance criteria listed in Method TO-15 <br /> Table 4 of TO-14A <br /> Receiving Notes <br /> There were no receiving discrepancies. <br /> Analytical Notes <br /> All Quality Control Limit exceedences and affected sample results are noted by flags. Each flag is <br /> defried at the bottom of this Case Narrative and on each Sample Result Summary page. Target <br /> compound non-detects in the samples that are associated with high bias in QC analyses have not been <br /> flagged. <br /> Definition of Data Qualifying Flags <br /> Eight qualifiers may have been used on the data analysis sheets and indicates as follows: <br /> B - Compound present in laboratory blank greater than reporting limit (background subtraction not <br /> performed). <br /> J- Estimated value. <br /> E - Exceeds instrument calibration range. <br /> Page 3 of 19 <br />
