extraction and clean up method for sVOC analysis- EPA 8270

[Kaur]

Though EPA has a list of extraction methods for semi-volatiles analysis, which one is best for soil and TCLP leachate? (fewer steps, less solvent use, and economical)

@Kaur Welcome to our new online community and many thanks for posting a question. I will reach out to the team but will be eager to see how we can connect you to others in the community who might have similar questions. @GeorgeTFS @FourierTFormer , please help me welcome Kaur!

Hello @Kaur  I’ve discussed this with a few of our support teams on recommendations and advice for you. To guide you further, it would be helpful to understand the instrumentation you are working with. If you would like a representative to contact you about specific technical questions, then you can request support using the Contact Us | Thermo Fisher Scientific - US.

If you have a question on the best methodology, you might consider submitting this question to the EPA directly. We found this link - ECSS Get Help - ECSS (servicenowservices.com). It seems to be a way to ask a question online.

In addition, I did come across a few resources on using GCMS and EPA method 8270D.
