Method TO-15 is an addition to the EPA Compendium of Methods for the Determination of Toxic Organic Compounds in Ambient Air and consists of guidance for the sampling and analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air. The method has undergone an initial review by the EPA and has been placed on the AMTIC bulletin board maintained by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) for further comments before final review and formal acceptance as a new method. The method is a companion method to the previously published TO-14 method entitled, 'Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Ambient Air Using SUMMA(TM) Polished Canister Sampling and Gas Chromatographic (GC) Analysis'. TO-15 differs from TO-14 in the following ways: (1) the water management system consists of the use of a small sample volume or a multisorbent/dry purge technique or both to dry the air sample; (2) the more extensive set of compounds given in Title III of the Clean Air Act Amemdments (CAAA) of 1990 constitutes the target list; (3) GC/MS techniques are recommended as the only means to identify and quantify target compounds; (4) method performance criteria are specified for acceptance of data, thereby allowing the use of alternate but equivalent sampling and analytical instrumentation; and (5) enhanced provisions for quality control are included.
