Organic Analysis by EPA 8260B
Method 8260 is used to determine volatile organic compounds in a variety of solid waste matrices. This method is applicable to nearly all types of samples, regardless of water content, including various air sampling trapping media, ground and surface water, aqueous sludges, caustic liquors, acid liquors, waste solvents, oily wastes, mousses, tars, fibrous wastes, polymeric emulsions, filter cakes, spent carbons, spent catalysts, soils, and sediments.

Method 8260 can be used to quantitate most volatile organic compounds that have boiling points below 200C. All volatile, compounds have been evaluated on a purge-and-trap GC/MS system.
