EPA 245.1 Mercury Analysis Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab is committed to delivering high-quality, accurate, and reliable results for EPA 245.1 Mercury Analysis testing. This comprehensive guide aims to provide a detailed understanding of the standard-related information, standard requirements and needs, test conditions and methodology, test reporting and documentation, and why this test should be performed.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates mercury emissions from various sources, including power plants, incinerators, and other industrial facilities. EPA 245.1 is a standard method for determining the concentration of mercury in environmental samples, such as air, water, and soil.

International and National Standards

  • ISO 17294-2:2004 - Water quality - Determination of mercury content - Part 2: Flameless atomic absorption spectrometry
  • ASTM D7421-07 - Standard Test Method for Determining Total Mercury in Coal and Coke by Cold Vapor Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry
  • EN 14399:2018 - Ambient air - Determination of the concentration of mercury vapour by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-AAS)
  • TSE LISO/EN 14399:2018 - Ambient air - Determination of the concentration of mercury vapour by cold-vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CV-AAS)
  • Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes international standards. ISO collaborates with other standard development organizations, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), to develop and publish standards.

    How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. Standard development organizations continuously review and update existing standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective.

    Standard Compliance Requirements for Different Industries

  • Power plants: Must comply with EPA 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart D - Mercury Emissions from Coal-Fired Electric Utility Boilers
  • Incinerators: Must comply with EPA 40 CFR Part 264 Subpart OOOO - Landfills and Incinerators
  • EPA 245.1 is a critical test for various industries, including:

  • Power plants: To monitor mercury emissions from coal-fired boilers
  • Incinerators: To determine mercury levels in waste materials
  • Environmental monitoring: To assess mercury levels in air, water, and soil samples
