Complete method procedures for CBC, CDD, and CDF analyses may be found in the following statement of work Statement of Work for High Resolution Superfund Methods (Multi-Media, Multi-Concentration) HRSM01.2 .

Chlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins and Dibenzo-p-Furans

The method for the analysis of the 2,3,7,8-substituted chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzo-p-furans(CDD/CDF)  in water, soil, sludge, tissue (non-human), biosolid, ash, oil, and oily matrix samples is based on EPA methods SW-846 8290A and 1613B. The method analyzes for 17 analytes. Most of the analytes are calibrated over the range 10 -100 pg/L up to 4000 - 10,000 pg/L (1.0-10 ng/kg up to 400-4,000 ng/kg) . The method uses a variety of extraction and cleanup techniques to remove the analytes from the sample matrix prior to analysis by isotope dilution on a High-Resolution Gas Chromatograph/ High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer instrument.

Chlorinated Biphenyl Congeners

The method for the analysis of chlorinated biphenyl congeners (CBC) in water, soil, sludge, tissue (non-human), biosolid, ash, oil, and oily matrix samples is based on EPA method  1668C (using HRSM01.2 SOW). The method can analyze for all 209 congeners. The 12 WHO-Toxic congeners are calibrated over the range 20 - 40,000 pg/L (2.0-4,000 ng/kg). The method uses a variety of extraction and cleanup techniques to remove the analytes from the sample matrix prior to analysis by isotope dilution on a High-Resolution Gas Chromatograph/ High-Resolution Mass Spectrometer instrument.
