Comprehensive Guide to EPA Method 8270E Semivolatile Organic Compounds by GC/MS in Soil Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab

EPA Method 8270E is a widely recognized standard for the analysis of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in soil using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). This method is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ASTM D7669-20: Standard Practice for Sampling and Quantitation of Semivolatile Organic Compounds in Soil

  • ISO 10382:2014: Determination of semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in soil using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS)

  • EN 14338:2004: Determination of the presence and quantification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in soils

    • These standards ensure that laboratories, like Eurolab, follow a rigorous protocol for sampling, preparation, analysis, and reporting of SVOCs in soil.

    Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The testing service is regulated by various laws and regulations, including:

  • US EPA: Method 8270E is approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use in environmental monitoring programs.

  • European Union: The method is compliant with EU directives on waste management and soil protection.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in developing and updating standards. Some prominent organizations include:

  • ASTM International: Develops and publishes technical standards, including ASTM D7669-20
