ABSTRACT
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 8260 is used to determine Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in a variety of matrices. These matrices can vary from water to soil to sludge. In order to determine VOCs in the assorted matrices, the sampling and analysis system needs to be calibrated as closely to the matrix as possible. Therefore, USEPA Method 8260 requires a separate calibration for waters, soils and extractions. This poster will demonstrate a patent pending automated water sampling mode using the soil sampling station of the autosampler thus eliminating the need to have separate calibrations for waters and soils.
