    EPA Method 528 testing involves several steps:

    1. Sample collection: Collect water samples from various sources, such as rivers, lakes, or wastewater treatment plants.

    2. Sample preparation: Prepare the sample for analysis by adjusting pH levels and removing interfering substances.

    3. Instrument calibration: Calibrate the instrument to ensure accuracy and precision.

    4. Measurement: Measure the concentration of organic compounds in the water sample using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

    5. Data analysis: Analyze the data to determine the concentration of organic compounds.

    Testing Equipment and Instruments

  • Gas chromatograph: Separates and identifies organic compounds based on their boiling points.

  • Mass spectrometer: Identifies compounds based on their mass-to-charge ratio.

    • Testing Environment Requirements

    The testing environment must meet specific requirements:

  • Temperature: 20 5C (68 9F)

  • Humidity: 40 10

  • Air flow: 1.0 0.2 L/min
