2 Special Sampling Considerations . 2.1 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) Analysis . Groundwater samples for VOC analysis must be collected in 40 ml glass vials with Teflon® septa. The vial may be either pre-preserved with concentrated hydrochloric acid or they may be unpreserved. Preserved samples have a two-week holding time, whereas

Option B - Direct sampling into vial with chemical preservative • Three 5-g size cores are added to vials (two with sodium bisulfate, one with methanol) for each sample plus a TerraCore or other coring sampler. • One nonpreserved container for moisture deter-mination. Option C - Direct sampling into vial with water
11.2.3.2 Without disturbing the hermetic seal on the sample vial, add 5 mL of organic-free reagent water, the internal standards, and the surrogate compounds. This is carried out using the automated sampler. Other volumes of organic-free reagent water may be used, however, it is imperative that all samples, blanks, and calibration
4. A small vial of 1:1 hydrochloric acid (HCl) and a pair of disposal sampling gloves for handling the acid have been provided. If skin comes into contact with the HCl, rinse the skin with copious amounts of clean water. Seek medical attention if a burning sensation persists. 5. Allow the sample water to run until it is representative of the
2.2 The sample plug is immediately extruded into a glass vial containing organic-free reagent water. The vial is immediately covered with aluminum foil and a modified septum cap. 2.3 The sealed vial containing the sample is hand-shaken for 10 - 15 sec and the sample is visually examined to ensure that complete dispersion of the sample in the
contamination,a trip blank prepared from organicfreereagent water (as defined in ChapterOne) should be maintained with the samples throughout sampling, shipping,and storage. Including activated carbon in the bags containing the samplevials may help reduce concerns related to these potential sources of sample contamination.
Field Guide For Collecting Samples For Analysis of Volatile Organic Compounds In Stream Water For The National Water-quality Assessment Program By Larry R. Shelton Abstract For many years, stream samples for analysis of volatile organic compounds have been collected without specific guidelines or a sampler designed to avoid analyte loss. In 1996,
Jan 27, 2023 · All samples shipped to the Region 9 Laboratory must be bottled and preserved in accordance with protocols. The following table indicate the required containers, volumes and chemical preservation, as necessary. Please contact the Region 9 Laboratory regarding preservation and container requirements for Microbiology and Marine/Freshwater Toxicity
TO: Regional Water Permits Branch Chiefs The Permits Division has received several inquiries about sampling procedures when data on volatile organic (VOA) toxic pollutants are required. Specifically, we have been asked: 1) is a composite sample appropriate for VOAs, and
contaminated with VOCs, flush enough water to avoid sampling fittings, gaskets, etc. by discarding at least 1 cup of water prior to collecting the sample. Samples can be taken directly from the meter. Take care to fill the vial using a low flow of water, and do not to overfill the sample vial, so chemicals inside the vial don’t spill out.
CD-ROM 0031-1 Revision 0 December 1996 METHOD 0031 SAMPLING METHOD FOR VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (SMVOC) 1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION 1.1 Method 0031 is used to determine volatile organic compounds in gaseous em issions from a wide variety of stationary sources including hazardous waste incinerators. The following compounds may be determined by
For many years, stream samples for analysis of volatile organic compounds have been collected without specific guidelines or a sampler designed to avoid analyte loss. In 1996, the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment Program began aggressively monitoring urban stream- water for volatile organic compounds.
This report describes that sampler and its use, and outlines field procedures specifically designed to provide contaminant-free, reproducible volatile organic compound data from stream-water samples. These guidelines and the equipment described represent a significant change in U.S. Geological Survey instructions for collecting and processing
