EUROLABS EPA 8081A ORGANOCHLORINE PESTICIDES ANALYSIS LABORATORY TESTING SERVICE: A COMPLETE GUIDE

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab offers a comprehensive range of analytical services to meet the evolving needs of industries and regulatory bodies. One such critical testing service is the analysis of Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs) using the EPA 8081A method. This article provides an in-depth guide to this laboratory testing service, covering standard-related information, test conditions and methodology, reporting, and why this test should be performed.

STANDARD-RELATED INFORMATION

The analysis of OCPs is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • EPA 8081A: This method provides the procedures for analyzing 15 OCPs in water using gas chromatography (GC) with electron capture detection (ECD).

  • ISO 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.

  • EN ISO 14851: Gas chromatography - Determination of volatile organic compounds in water by gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionization detector (FID).

    • The European Unions REACH regulation requires OCPs to be analyzed according to specific methods, including EPA 8081A.

    STANDARD REQUIREMENTS AND NEEDS

    EPA 8081A Organochlorine Pesticides Analysis testing is essential for various industries and sectors, including:

  • Water treatment plants: To ensure the removal of OCP residues from treated water.

  • Environmental monitoring: For assessing the impact of OCPs on ecosystems.

  • Food and agriculture: To detect OCP residues in crops and food products.

    • The consequences of not performing this test can be severe, including:

  • Non-compliance with regulations and standards.

  • Release of toxic substances into the environment.
