Longbottom, J., D. Foerst, R. Wesselman, A. Wong, AND C. McMillin. DETERMINATION OF 2,3,7,8-TCDD (TETRACHLORODIBENZO-P-DIOXIN) IN INDUSTRIAL AND MUNICIPAL WASTEWATERS, METHOD 613. PART 1. DEVELOPMENT AND DETECTION LIMITS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/D-83/020 (NTIS PB83171280).

Description:

A convenient method for water and wastewater samples is presented that will determine 2,3,7,8-TCDD concentrations to a Method Detection Limit (MDL) of 2 ng/L. The method uses solvent extraction of the aqueous sample followed by capillary column gas chromatography/mass spectrometry using Selected Ion Monitoring. The capillary column (Silar 10C or equivalent) is isomer specific for 2,3,7,8-TCDD.
