    • ---

    EPA Method 1320 Extraction Procedure Toxicity testing involves several steps, including:

    1. Sample preparation: Materials are prepared for extraction.

    2. Extraction: Substances are extracted from the materials using a solvent.

    3. Toxicity assessment: The toxicity of the extracted substances is evaluated.

    Testing Equipment and Instruments

  • Extraction equipment (e.g., Soxhlet apparatus): Extracts substances from materials.

  • Analytical instruments (e.g., gas chromatography-mass spectrometry): Evaluates the toxicity of extracted substances.

    • Testing Environment Requirements

  • Temperature: Room temperature or controlled environment (e.g., 25C 2C).

  • Humidity: Controlled humidity (e.g., 50 10).

    • Sample Preparation Procedures

    1. Material selection: Selects materials for extraction.

    2. Pre-treatment: Treats the material to prepare it for extraction.

    Testing Parameters and Conditions

  • Extraction time: Time required for solvent to extract substances from materials (e.g., 24 hours).

  • Solvent composition: Composition of solvent used for extraction (e.g., hexane, dichloromethane).

    • ---

    EPA Method 1320 Extraction Procedure Toxicity test results are documented in a report that includes:

    1. Introduction: Provides background information on the testing method.

    2. Materials tested: Lists materials extracted for toxicity assessment.

    3. Results: Presents data on the toxicity of extracted substances.

    Regulatory Compliance

    Reports must comply with regulatory requirements, including:

  • Format and content: Reports must adhere to specific formats and contain required information.

  • Certification: Reports may require certification from a qualified laboratory.
