EPA Method 8080 Organochlorine Pesticide Residue Analysis: Laboratory Testing Services

EPA Method 8080 is a laboratory testing method for the analysis of organochlorine pesticide residues in various matrices. The method is governed by relevant standards, including:

  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 8080: This method provides detailed guidelines for the analysis of organochlorine pesticides in water and other matrices.
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): ISO 15778:2015 provides a standard for the determination of pesticide residues, including organochlorines, in water.
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): ASTM D7034-14(2020) outlines guidelines for the analysis of pesticides, including organochlorines, in water.
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): EN 13316:2013 provides a standard for the determination of pesticide residues, including organochlorines, in water.
  • The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service includes:

  • Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA): This act regulates the use and distribution of pesticides, including organochlorines.
  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations: The EPA has established guidelines for the analysis of pesticide residues, including organochlorines.
  • Standard development organizations play a crucial role in developing and updating standards. These organizations include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): ISO is responsible for developing and maintaining international standards.
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): ASTM develops and publishes standards for various industries, including laboratory testing.
  • Standards evolve through a continuous review process, involving stakeholders from industry, government, and academia. The standard development process includes:

    1. Identifying the need for a new or revised standard

    2. Conducting research and gathering data

    3. Drafting the standard

    4. Review and revision

    5. Finalization and publication

    EPA Method 8080 Organochlorine Pesticide Residue Analysis is required for various industries, including:

  • Agriculture: Farmers and agricultural companies use pesticides to control pests and diseases.
