EPA Method 0060 Determination of Hydrogen Halides and Halogens in Stack Emissions Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The determination of hydrogen halides and halogens in stack emissions is a critical aspect of environmental monitoring, as it helps to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and mitigate the impact of industrial activities on air quality. EPA Method 0060, also known as Determination of Hydrogen Halides and Halogens in Stack Emissions, is a widely accepted standard for measuring these pollutants in stack emissions.

1.1 International Standards

The relevant international standards governing EPA Method 0060 are:

  • ISO 10319:2003(E) - Determination of hydrogen halides and halogens in flue gas from combustion plants

  • ASTM D6724-01(2017) - Standard Test Methods for Determination of Hydrogen Halides and Halogens in Stack Emissions

    • 1.2 National Standards

    National standards also play a crucial role in governing EPA Method 0060:

  • European Unions Industrial Emissions Directive (IED)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) - TSE EN 10319:2003

  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulations

    • 1.3 Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN), play a vital role in developing and maintaining standards like EPA Method 0060.

    1.4 Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to address new technologies, methodologies, and regulatory requirements. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments and updates to ensure compliance with current standards.
