ASTM D4647 Total Mercury in Sediment and Soil Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

ASTM D4647 is a widely recognized standard for the determination of total mercury in sediment and soil samples. This standard is developed by ASTM International, a non-profit organization that provides technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The regulation of mercury in sediment and soil is governed by various national and international laws and regulations. For example:

  • The Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 (MEBA) regulates the export of mercury-containing products from the United States.
  • The Clean Air Act (CAA) sets limits on air emissions, including mercury.
  • The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) regulates water quality, including mercury levels in drinking water sources.
  • International and National Standards

    ASTM D4647 is compliant with several international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 17294-1:2004(E): Determination of mercury and methylmercury in sediments - Part 1: Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) method
  • EN 14909:2010A1:2016: Mercury and methylmercury in soils - Determination by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS)
  • TSE 1312:2008: Determination of mercury and methylmercury in sediments
  • Standard Development Organizations

    ASTM International is a leading standard development organization that provides technical standards for materials, products, systems, and services. Other notable standard development organizations include:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
  • EN (European Standards)
  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)
