Still Confused?
What Are The New Protocols?
The newest version of SW 846 Update III requires specific procedures for the on-site sampling and preservation of soil samples for volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis. Many States have already implemented the new methods and numerous other States are considering implementation in the near future. The methods as currently written are confusing and contradictory.
There Are So Many Questions About the New Soil Sampling Protocols for VOCs...
- How many vials do I have to collect per soil sample.........................As many as four.
- Do I use methanol, bisulfate, or phosphoric acid?......................................It depends.
- How do I know if the preserving solutions are clean?...................................You don't.
