Determination of Chlorinated Dioxins and Furans in Four Types of Wastewater by EPA Method 1613 Rev. B

Abstract

CDS Empore^TM C18 (Formerly 3M^TM Empore^TM C18) SPE Disks help ensure rapid and reliable sample preparation and provide excellent analyte recovery in the screening or monitoring of Dioxins and Furans in 4 types of wastewater samples for EPA Method 1613 Rev. B.

Introduction

EPA Method 1613 was developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Science and Technology for isomer-specific determination of the 2,3,7,8-substituted, tetra through octa-chlorinated, dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans in aqueous, solid, and tissue matrices by isotope dilution, high resolution capillary column gas chromatography (HRGC)/high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). EPA Method 1613 contains extraction directions for several matrices including aqueous, solid, and tissue samples. The CDS Empore^TM disk extraction procedure is applicable to aqueous matrices in Method 1613^1,2.
