                  RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES


Research reports of the Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, have been grouped into nine series. These nine broad cate-
gories were established to facilitate further development and application of en-
vironmental technology. Elimination of traditional  grouping  was consciously
planned to foster technology transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.
The nine series are:

    1. Environmental Health Effects Research

    2. Environmental Protection Technology

    3. Ecological Research

    4. Environmental Monitoring

    5. Socioeconomic Environmental Studies

    6. Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports  (STAR)

    7. Interagency  Energy-Environment Research and Development

    8. "Special" Reports

    9. Miscellaneous Reports

This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series. Reports in this series result from the
effort funded under the 17-agency  Federal Energy/Environment Research and
Development Program. These studies relate to EPA's mission to protect the public
health and welfare from adverse effects of pollutants associated with energy sys-
tems. The goal of the Program is to assure the rapid development of domestic
energy supplies in an environmentally-compatible manner by providing the nec-
essary environmental data and control technology. Investigations include analy-
ses of the transport of energy-related pollutants and their health and ecological
effects; assessments of, and development of, control technologies for energy
systems; and integrated assessments of a wide'range of energy-related environ-
mental issues.

                                 SUMMARY

     This report has been prepared as a requirement of Contract 68-02-2613,
Task 6 to document a proposed approach for the interpretation of environ-
mental assessment data and identification of additional analytical require-
ments.  Volume I describes the general approach to Level 2 analysis and
Volume II, a companion to this document, is the application of the approach
to a set of samples.  Addressed are the decision criteria needed to proceed
from the initial emission screening analysis phase (Level 1) to the detailed
emission characterization phase (Level 2) and the Level 2 analytical approach.
This stepwise phased approach to environmental assessment has been shown to
be significantly cost effective compared to a direct approach of obtaining
the needed information by sampling all streams and analyzing them for all
suspected pollutants (1).

     In the phased approach to environmental assessment, Level  1 is the
initial survey method by which hazardous streams are distinguished from
those less hazardous or innocuous.  Level 1 sampling and analysis have been
designed to generate semiquantitative (±3X) information about the organic
and inorganic elements of interest in the sampled stream so that a dominant
offender does not go undetected (2).  This information can then be used to
prioritize the detailed and specific analysis required in Level 2.
     The decision criteria developed in this report provide a basis which
can be used for proceeding to a Level 2 emission characterization.  However,
this study has been reduced somewhat in scope by limiting the number of
specific pollutants of interest to a chemical correlation with those identi-
fied as the Multimedia Environmental Goals (MEG) (3) compounds as defined by
the EPA and detailed by Research Triangle Institute.  The decision criteria
presented here consider only the available Level 1 chemical data.  The
contributions from the bioassay results to the choice of Level 2 samples is
not part of this data evaluation.  The possibility of negative chemical
results (that in which individual components do not exceed a toxic concen-
tration) occurring with positive biological toxicity is highly probable.
Therefore, consideration by the analysts of the bioassay results is an
important part of a Level 1 environmental assessment and could result in a
                                    iii

-------
 Level  2  effort  to detect synergistic agents.  In recent environmental assess-
 ments  (4)  the correlation between chemical data and bioassay tests has been
 excellent  though the entire biological test matrix must be conducted.

     Section 2  of this document discusses the types of field samples,
 retainable  samples, and chemical data avialable from a Level 1 Evironmental
 Assessment  which can be prioritized for the MEG based Level 2 plan.  Retained
 Level  1  samples are collected from each of the Source Assessment Sampling
 System (SASS) components, either in the form of solids, water samples, or
 methylene  chloride washings.  The samples collected are analyzed either in
 the  neat or subsequently prepared form.  These retained Level 1 samples are
 addressed  as valid Level 2 samples.  Any MEG organic categories or inorganic
 elements requiring a Level 2 sampling are discussed and some preliminary
 sampling recommendations made.  Complete resampling, therefore, becomes
 unnecessary under this Level 2 approach, providing the uncertainty in the
 Level  1  sampling is tolerable for the required environmental assessment.
 A  feature  of the Level 1 analysis is that the data can be  identified by
 the  analyst when resampling is necessary.  This is discussed in Section 4
 where  a  logic flow is presented for establishing the need  for a Level 2
 sampling effort.

     The sampling procedure for Level 1 Environmental Assessment recommends
 use  of the  Source Assessment Sampling System (SASS).  This system consists
 of the following components:
         •   1, 3, and 10 micron particulate cyclones
         •   Filter
         t   XAD-2 sorbent trap resin
         •   XAD-2 sorbent module condensate
         t   Impingers
         t   Probe and connecting lines
In the case of  a low amount of collected particulate matter all solids may
have been used  during Level 1 activities.  Therefore, Level 2 analyses can-
not be performed on those neat samples.  However,  it is possible  to  proceed
into this Level  2 approach with Level 1 retained prepared  samples.

-------
     Section 3 presents the transitional details which start with Level 1
data and arrive at the decision to conduct Level 2 analyses.  In this deci-
sion format Level 2 is only required at the specific Level 1 reporting
points containing yg/m^ (yg/fc or yg/g) concentrations which exceed Minimum
Acute Toxicity Effluent (MATE) guidelines.  The MEG compounds, decision
criteria MATE, Level 1 reporting points, and generalized Level 2 tests are
presented as usable Level 1 -Level 2 data reduction tables (Appendix A),
Level 1 reporting points are given in Table 2-5 and specifically detailed
in Table A-l.  The decision to conduct a Level 2 analysis is then made based
on Level 1 data and MATE concentrations within a specific MEG category.
     Section 4 presents decision criteria for Level 2 sampling.   If a Level
2 sampling effort is necessary, the SASS may not be the most viable train.
This section, therefore, contains some preliminary suggested Level  2 sam-
pling methods.
     In Section 5 an integrated approach to Level 2 inorganic compound
analysis, which is also being developed under Contract 68-02-2165, is pre-
sented.  This identification scheme consists of:

         •   Initial sample characterization, where elemental  composition,
             sample stability, and bulk morphological  structure  are
             determined.
         •   Bulk composition characterization, where qualitative and
             quantitative am"on, oxidation state, and X-ray diffraction
             information are derived.
         •   Individual particle characterization, where single  particle
             elemental composition, X-ray diffraction pattern and mor-
             phology are measured.
     Detailed logic networks are also included to provide direction to the
analyst during the identification process.  The analysis of solid and liquid
samples for organic compounds is discussed in Section 6-  Combined gas chro-
matography and mass spectrometry is the main technique used to identify
organic compounds in this plan.  Direction is provided to the analyst by
means of flow charts and written explanation on such items as:
         •   Sample size               '*
         •   Mass ranges to be scanned

-------
         •   GC columns to be used
         •   Estimated GC conditions for complete separation
     Under EPA Contract 68-02-2150 a procedures manaual (5) is being pre-
pared for Level 2 organic sampling and analysis.  It should be referred
to by the Level 2 analyst as a more complete compendium on organic compound
identification methodologies.
     The Level 2 approach presented here has been used to access Level 1
data reported by Battelle Columbus Laboratory from run #2 of a 6" Fluidized
Bed Combustor Unit, EPA Contract No. 68-02-1409, Task No. 33.   Level 2 anal-
yses of these retained Level 1 samples has been conducted and reported (6)
under EPA Contract No. 68-01-3152, Tasks 2, 3 and 4.  The report from this
analytical effort should be referred to for examples of specific method
applications.

                            1. INTRODUCTION

     This document has been prepared as a requirement of Task 6, Preparation
of a Draft and Final Report on a Level I/Level 2 Analysis Scheme, of EPA
Contract 68-02-2613, Non-Personal Quick Reaction Engineering and Technical
Services.  The approach presents a detailed, but preliminary, Environmental
Assessment Plan for characterization of the emissions from an energy process
based on Multimedia Environmental Goal (MEG) organic and inorganic chemical
species.  The MEG compounds are potentially hazardous compounds which can
be emitted from a variety of energy conversion processes under certain pro-
cess conditions at concentration levels which could cause an environmental
insult.  The emissions characterized by compound class and elemental screen-
ing methods (Level 1) are used to identify those stream samples which may
offer specific pollutant emission problems.  The Minimum Acute Toxicity
Effluent (MATE) values are used as the concentration decision criteria for
determining whether additional detailed emission characterization (Level 2)
should be performed.  The Level 2 characterization is considerably more
accurate and quantifies specific MEG inorganic and organic compounds.  The
                                                               v
Level 2 analysis plan presented here is considered to be preliminary because
the information used to test and evaluate the decision criteria was not
based on a recommended Level 1 analysis scheme (e.g.» field test data were
not obtained and provisions for stabilizing the low molecular weight species
were not utilized).  The value of the work reported henre is (1) the genera-
tion of a practical reporting format, (2) the logic,.path network to make
decisions for proceeding to Level 2 analysis, and (3) the initial approach
at multimedia Level 2 analysis.  Retained Level 1 samples have been the
focal point of the Level 2 approach developed.  Level 2 on-site analysis
schemes are recommended for future programs to study the cbmplexity of
on-site volatile and reactive species identification.  However, some
approaches to Level 2 on-site compound identification are included as sug1-
gestions to the performing analyst.
     The Level 2 analysis of retained Level 1 samples is complex.  Deci-
sions requiring analytical expertise follow every Level 2 data generation
effort.  Therefore, after each Level 2 analysis step the information
obtained must be evaluated and the list of MEG compounds identified,
quantified, tabulated, and MEG list closure established,  the analysis  is
                                     1

-------
continued until an acceptable closure is reached and the total  sample
composition is reduced to a list of MEG compounds with their u9/m3 effluents,
     This document is based on the currently available MEG and  MATE values.
These are both evolving lists and, consequently, the data reduction and
decision tables presented in Appendix A are not fixed.

-------
              2.  LEVEL 1 SAMPLES, NATURE OF RETAINED SAMPLES
                             AND LEVEL 1 DATA
     In the phased approach to environmental assessment, Level 1 is the
initial survey method by which hazardous streams are distinguished from
those less hazardous or relatively innocuous.  Level 1 sampling and analysis
have been designed to generate semiquantitative (±3X) information about the
organic and inorganic species of interest in the sampled stream so that pol-
lutants do not go undetected.  Level 1 data, therefore, consist of identi-
fied organic classes of compounds and inorganic elements.  These data can
then be used to prioritize the detailed and specific analysis required in
Level 2.
     This section discusses the types of field samples, retained prepared
samples and data available from a Level 1 Environmental Assessment which
can be prioritized for the MEG based Level 2 plan.  Retained Level 1 samples
are addressed as valid Level 2 samples.  Any MEG organic categories or inor-
ganic elements requiring a Level 2 sampling are discussed.  Preliminary
sampling recommendations are made in Section 4.  Complete resampling, there-
fore, becomes unnecessary under this Level 2 approach providing the Level 1
sampling effects on quantisation are tolerable for the required environ-
mental assessment.
2.1  LEVEL 1 SAMPLES
     Level 1 samples can be separated into two distinct categories based
on where they are analyzed in Level 1.  These analytical categories are
designated here as on-site and home-site.  Logically the on-site Level 1
samples are reactive and/or volatile and are more suited for real time
analyses.  Retention of these materials for complex characterization would
require special sampling equipment or a highly instrumented field laboratory.
The home-site samples can be easily retained.  Table 2-1 lists the Level 1
on-site and home-site samples and the MEG categories found in each.
     The Level 1 on-site analyses, as listed in Table 2-1, lack specific
tests for some MEG compounds, e.g., ozone and speciation on the C1-C7 cate-
gory' (Section 2.2).  The Level 1 home-site samples, although they contain
all MEG categories, do not contain some of the MEG compounds  (Section 2.2).

These home-site samples are fully characterized for inorganic elements and
organic functionality.  Level 2 sampling and analysis are, therefore,
required for some MEG compounds (Table 2-2).
2.1.1  Level 1 Home-Site Samples
     The home-site emission samples generally consist of a Level 1 catch
taken with the Source Assessment Sampling System (SASS) (shown schematically
in Figure 2-1) consisting of the following components:
         t   1, 3, and 1.0 micron particulate cyclones
         •   Filter
         •   XAD-2 sorbent trap resin
         •   XAD-2 sorbent module condensate
         t   Impingers
         •   Probe and connecting line washings
These SASS components and the retained water and solid samples can, depend-
ing on the total quantities obtained from the Level 1 sampling effort, be
retained as neat or as Level 1 prepared samples (e.g., in the case of a low
particulate catch where all solids may have been prepared as organic and
inorganic aliquots during Level 1 activities).  Level 1 prepared samples
consist of:
         1.  Inorganic aliquots:
             •   SASS cyclones, filter particulates and XAD-2 sorbent and
                 bulk solids dissolved in an acidic media through Parr bomb
                 combustion over nitric acid
             •   SASS impingers:  H202 and APS (silver catalyzed ammonium
                                  persulfate), diluted to two liters
             •   Bulk liquid samples:  Cooling tower water, feed materials,
                                       etc.
         2.  Organic aliquots:
             •   SASS cyclones, filter, particulates and bulk solids
                 extracted and concentrated in methylene chloride
             •   SASS XAD-2 sorbent extracted and  concentrated  in methylene
                 chloride

2.2  NATURE OF RETAINED LEVEL 1 SAMPLES

     Level 1 samples retained-for any period of time can undergo species

loss, chemical rearrangement, or surface/interior changes.  These can

result from volatilization, decomposition, free radical initiated reactions,

and loss of surface coatings through sample agitation.  The extent of these

changes, their kinetics or their effect on the validity of generated Level 2
data are unknown.  However, if the samples have been carefully stored (cool,
dark, sealed, limited access storage), they should be reasonably representa-
tive of the site effluents for a period up to six months.
     Retained Level 1 samples do not contain some of the MEG compounds of
interest.  In some cases they have not been included in the on-site sample
activity; e.g., ozone; or they have reacted with the SASS contruction mate-
rials and are not sampled, e.g., HF; and in other cases, they have been
sampled but altered in composition and their compound origin can no longer
be distinguished, e.g., AsHs.  Table 2-2 lists the MEG categories, the com-
pounds in each category not present or distinguishable in retained Level 1
samples, and the rationale for their absence.
     Although this listing of MEG compounds not distinguishable or present
in a Level 1 sampling and analysis activity is extensive, it does not
impact the validity of the phased approach.  The presence of most of the
listed organic compounds, with the exception of 19 reactive species, is
detectable in the  C1-C7 as a total yg/m3 concentration emitted for a specific
 boiling  point  range.   If  this  total quantity exceeds the most toxic MATE
 value  for that range, then  a Level  2  sampling, followed by a compound spe-
 cific  analytical  technique, would  be  initiated (Section 4).  The MATE trig-
 gering values  for the C1-C7 on-site samples are listed  in Table 2-3.

     The 19 reactive organic compounds are generally dispersed throughout
the MEG categories.  Even though these reactive compounds will not be
detected, other nonreactive compounds in these categories will trigger a
Level 2 analysis because of their conservative MATE values.  These 19
reactive organic compounds must have specific sampling and analysis systems
designed for Level 2 on-site use.  Suggested approaches for Level 2 C1-C7
and reactive organic compounds are presented in Section 4.
     Of the inorganic compounds listed, silane, ozone, hydrazine, chlorine
(C12), phosgene (COC1.2), iodine (12). and bromine (8r2) are compounds not
identified by Level 1 on-site sampling analyses and not collected as inor-
ganic elements.  The remaining inorganic species are detected in Level 1,
but their emitted compound origin can not be retraced in home-site samples.
If the Level 1 data indicate that a category, e.g., chlorine or antimony,
exceeds the most conservative MATE value for any compound in that category,
then Level 2 on-site activities must design protocol for these listed com-
pounds.  Suggested approaches for Level 2 on-site tests for inorganics are
discussed in Section 4.
2.3  LEVEL 1 DATA ON HOME-SITE SAMPLES
     In Level 1 methodology the inorganic elements, with the exception of
As, Sb, and Hg are determined by Spark Source Mass Spectroscopy (SSMS).
These data are comprehensive (anion and cation information is present) and
they are determined for all home-site samples.  Data are reportable as ug/m3,
yg/1 and ug/g when combined with on-site sample times, flows, and total
catch data.  These inorganic elemental values can easily be tabulated and
compared to the MATE concentrations presented in the tables.
     In the Level 1 analysis scheme, the samples are apportioned for inor-
ganic and organic analysis.  The portions for organic analysis are extracted.
An aliquot is taken for the C7-C12 GC analysis, and one is taken for gravi-
metric and infrared (IR) analyses.  If the gravimetric analysis indicates
sufficient concentration of organic material, an aliquot of the extract is
taken so that a minimum of 50 mg of residue results.  This residue is then
separated by liquid chromatography (LC).  The eight LC fractions are analyzed
by gas chromatography for volatiles and are evaporated for nonvolatiles,"
which are reportable as yg/m3, yg/1 and yg/g and can be compared with MATE
                                    13

-------
values as tabulated in Section 3.  If any fraction produces a residue that
is calculated (from the sample size and volume of gas sampled) to exceed
0.5 mg/m3, then a low resolution mass spectra (LRMS) is also obtained.  For
the 30 m3 stack sample a fraction weight must exceed 15 mg.  Data are then
reduced to yg/m3 for each organic SASS reporting point.  The numerical cri-
teria, which would require that a LRMS be conducted, are 0.1 mg/1 for bulk
water samples and 1 mg/kg for bulk solid samples.
     A Level 1 IR spectrum is interpreted in terms of the presence of func-
tional groups.  That is, the presence of an absorption corresponding to a
carbonyl stretch is taken as indicative of the presence of a carbonyl (cate-
gories 5, 6, 7, and 8) compound.  Detection limits vary widely since the
strengths of characteristic absorptions and ionization patterns vary widely
in both the IR and LRMS techniques.  Typically, no quantitation is performed.
However, semiquantitative information is obtainable and providing that
detection limits are lower than MATE requirements, MEG categories can be
eliminated from consideration in the Level 2 analysis scheme.
      A typical LRMS detection limit is about 1 percent of a 0.1 mg sample.
Thus, about 1 yg of material should be detectable.  Again providing that the
detection limit  in ug/m3 for the specific MEG category on the specific
instrument  in use is lower than the MATE requirements, then specific cate-
gories  can  be eliminated from Level 2 consideration.  A note can be placed
on  the  Level  1 - Level 2 data presentation table (Appendix A) that the com-
pound was not detectable in the Level 1 IR or LRMS.
      The  details of Level 1 - Level 2 decision criteria are contained in
Section  3.  Generally, any Level 1 reporting point (organic or inorganic)
which exceeds the most conservative MATE concentration value in a given
category  will require Level 2 analysis on the particular Level 1 sample
aliquot  representative of that  reporting point.  Figure 2-2 depicts the
Level 1 - Level  2 transition and Table 2-4 lists in general the Level 1
reporting points.

theoretically predicted categories.   Sulfuric acid and sulfoxides may not
be removed from the samples by the original extraction process.

          3.   MEG CATEGORIES AND COMPOUNDS AT MATE CONCENTRATION
                           AS DECISION CRITERIA

     This section presents the transitional details which start with Level  1
data and arrive at the decision to conduct Level 2 analyses.  In this deci-
sion format Level 2 is only required at the specific Level 1 reporting
points containing compound concentrations which exceed Minimum Acute Toxi-
city Effluent (MATE) guidelines.  The MEG compounds, decision criteria MATE,
Level 1 reporting points and generalized Level 2 tests are presented here
as usable Level 1 -Level 2 data presentation tables.
3.1  MEG CATEGORIES, COMPOUNDS AND ELEMENTS
     The Multimedia Environmental Goals (MEG) program concept examines the
pollution potential of fossil fuel conversion processes.   The results of
this examination are currently presented in a listing of compounds and ele-
ments associated with coal and oil that could, based on free energies and
the conversion conditions, be liberated to the environment.   This is an
evolving data base, changing as more biological data become available.
These data include threshold limit values (TLV), median lethal dose (LDsg);
median lethal concentrations (LCsg), median toxic dose (TDsg), and median
tolerance limit (TLm); and carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic data.
The biological data are then used to determine the elements and compounds
targeted for control technology.  The Level 1 environmental  assessment
methodology has been designed to identify inorganic elemental composition
and organic compound categories of the sampled stream using the combination
of Spark Source Mass Spectroscopy (SSMS), a sensitive (0.1 ppm) multi-
element analytical technique, and one element specific instrumental tech-
nique for Hg, As, and Sb.  Mercury, arsenic, and antimony are volatile spe-
cies with high and indeterminant limits of detection by SSMS.  Organic
functional groups are sought using methods such as gas chromatography,
gravimetric analysis, infrared, and mass spectrometry.  The inorganic or
organic compounds listed in the MEG charts would not be sought by the Level
1 scheme.  However, should an inorganic element or organic class exceed an
EPA concentration guideline, then in the phased approach to environmental
assessment, a Level 2 assessment would be required to identify and quan-
tify the compound forms.  Level 2 would be conducted to specifically  seek
the MEG compounds.
                                    19

-------
     The MEG list provides a guide for the Level 2 analyst.  The Level 2
plan developed (Sections 5 and 6) has as its basis the ability to distin-
guish MEG categories in the complex Level 1 samples and the overlapping
Level 1 sample aliquots.  The MEG compounds function as a list which the
Level 2 analyst uses to produce analytical standards for verification of
procedures and constantly refers to during the Level 2 analytical effort.
3.2  MATE CONCENTRATIONS
     The MEG charts, as originally constructed, do not contain information
on the concentration levels of interest.  Concentration guidelines are
necessary for the decision making process.  The analyst must know the con-
centration at which Level 1 data trigger the Level 2 activities and the
detection limits for each compound of interest in the Level 2 plan.  The
MATE values take into consideration a variety of factors, including the
biological data listed in Section 3.1, half-lives, cumulative tendencies,
and  relationships between human and animal toxicity data.  The MATE levels
are  those permissible for continuous exposure in an ambient media.  Levels
exceeding the MATE are, therefore, of environmental concern.  MATES will be
refined as more biological data and better models become available.
     A decision to conduct a Level 2 analysis can now be made based on
Level 1 data and MATE concentrations and their presences in a specific
MEG  category.
3.3  LEVEL 1 - LEVEL 2 DATA REDUCTION AND DECISION CHARTS
     The data presented in Table A-l (Appendix A) have been formulated to
function for:
         •   Level 1 and Level 2 reporting
         •   Level 2 decision making based on MEG categories, compounds,
             and elements at MATE concentrations
         t   Generalizations on the applicable Level 2 techniques
     The table key, which codes the analytical methodology, expectations,
and  cost requirements, was meant as a generalization  (Sections 5  and  6  con-
tain the specific technical analytical  information).  For example, GC/MS
is the chosen analytical technique for  all the organic categories; pre-
treatment, volume, GC conditions, and MS detection technique are  details

                                    20

not meant to be part of the table key.  An inorganic Level 2 Test Method
example would be for soluble Fe where 1-C,A would indicate extraction (C)
followed by AAS (A); another 1-C for arsenic would indicate a colorimetric
determination for total As.  These tables have been constructed to stand
alone as decision guidelines in the Level 1 — Level 2 approach based on
MEG and MATE.  They list MEG compounds with their MATE in order of decreasing
toxicity in each of the MEG categories, where in the Level 1 data the MEG
compound of interest is found, the ratio of the specific Level 1 concentra-
tion to MATE value, if Level 2 is required, and generalizations on the
applicable Level 2 methodology.  A decision to conduct Level 2 tests for a
specific MEG category is triggered if the Level 1 report point exceeds the
most toxic MATE for that category.  Level 1 bibassay results are not consi-
dered  in this decision format.

    4.   SUGGESTED APPROACHES FOR LEVEL 2 SAMPLING AND ON-SITE ANALYSES

     This section contains suggested Level 2 on-site tests for the
problematic MEG compounds listed in Table H-2.  These are suggested as
starting points only.  Where Level 1 data have clearly indicated the require-
ment for Level 2 sampling and analysis then a specific sampling and analy-
tical plan must be generated.  In the on-site Level 2 plan specific hard-
ware (e.g., all glass sampling systems, organic impinger systems, inorganic
glass impingers, and particulate samplers, etc.) is to be taken back to the
field along with compound specific test apparatus (e.g., nondispersive
infrared analyzers,  NDIR).  The planning activity at that time should  in-
clude specific analysis techniques and the laboratory backup, checkout and
supportive  data,  e.g., the details of the total sample required for a  suc-
cessful  Level  2  test.
4.1 DECISION  CRITERIA FOR LEVEL 2 SAMPLING
     Figure 4-1  presents a decision flow diagram to be implemented after
conducting  the Level 1 environmental assessment and before proceeding onto
a  Level  2  sampling and analysis effort.  It addresses the questions the
analysts must  answer before establishing that the already acquired Level 1
samples  are valid for Level 2.  It has been designed to be a cost effective
approach requiring Level 2 sampling only to acquire those data necessary for
a  reasonable  environmental assessment.  Complete resampling is not necessary.
     The first criterion examines the integrity of the Level 1 tests and
gathered samples.  The Level  1 sampling team, home-site analytical crew,
and project monitor  evaluate  the quality of the Level 1 samples and gene-
rated analytical  data.   In some cases repeat  Level 1 tests would be more
appropriate.   Questions  to be asked at this evaluation point would be:
         •   Was  the Level 1  test statistically representative of site
             operating conditions?
         t   Has  operator or  instrumental error resulted in any suspect
             samples or  data?
         •   Was  the Level 1  representative of others conducted at  similar
              industries  and under similar conditions?

     After this data validation step, the assessment of the Level 1 chemical
results can be conducted according to the decision criteria presented in
Section 3 and contained on the appended Level  1 - Level 2 transition tables.
     Once the probable MEG compound list has been generated, Level 2 sampling
requirements' are clearly discernible.  For example, only volatile organic
compounds (-160°C to + 100°C, the C1-C6 compounds) may require Level 2
identification and quantisation and the entire Level 2 effort would consist
of a grab gas sampling followed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
In many cases the Level 1 samples will be suitable for the Level 2 program.
Specific questions are given on Figure 4-1.  When the quantity remaining
may not be sufficient, then a Level 1 sampling, if less costly, can provide
acceptable Level 2 samples.  The analyst then follows the analytical
approaches given in Sections 5 and 6.  As each MEG compound triggered by
Level  1 is identified and quantified, closure to the Level 1 data is
checked.  When successful agreement is obtained, the Level 2 assessment is
completed.  Some conjectural problems which the analyst could face in
obtaining a reasonable closure to Level I involve the sample's integrity
(storage changes, e.g., contamination, loses, surface oxidation) and the
Level  1 uncertainty factor(quantitation factor ±3X, e.g., some inorganic
elements are less reliably quantitied by the Level 1  SSMS) •  If the sample
is contaminated to the extent that the Level 2 data obtained are scrambled,
then Level 2 sampling for a higher quality sample may be more reasonable
and cost effective than the identification of the interfering species.
Where quantitation is problematic and multiple analyses by complimentary
techniques have not resolved the closure problem, Level 2 resampling can.
By employing a more efficient sampling system for the species of interest
followed by the most precise analytical techniques, the analyst will resolve
effluent quantitation problems.  The Level 2 environmental assessment can
then be reliably completed.
4,2  SUGGESTED LEVEL 2 ON-SITE TESTS FOR PROBLEMATIC MEG COMPOUNDS
     The problematic MEG compounds not retained in Level 1 samples are sum-
marized as follows:
         •   C1-C6 compounds, e.g., methane
         •   Reactive organic and inorganic compounds, e.g., acrolein and
             hydrogen fluoride

         t   Volatile inorganic compounds, e.g., phosgene
         t   Sampled but altered inorganic compounds, e.g., stibine
     Two suggested approaches exist for C1-C6 nonreactive hydrocarbon com-
pounds and both are complimentary:
         1.  Integrated Tedlar bag (glass or stainless steel sample bomb)
             for Level 2 resampling
             •   Collect 10 liter bag sample
             t   Concentrate (condense) 0.1 - 1.0 liter in laboratory
             t   Conduct Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)
                 using:  a) 6 ft ss, Poropak Q
                         b) 3 percent OV-101 on Chromasorb W-AW-DMCS
                         c) any suitable column optimized for separation
                            of categories 1 and 2 specifically
         2.  Solid absorbent method
             •   Collect several 0.1 and 1.0 liter samples on a solid
                 absorbent capable of being thermally desorbed, e.g., Tenax
             t   Thermally desorb
             •   Conduct GC/MS using columns suggested above
     Nonreactive compounds detected in the C1-C6 range are best analyzed by
direct GC/MS.  Samples will need to be collected specifically for this pur-
pose and shipment and storage should not exceed 24 hours.  Two alternatives
are available for these materials, and it is not possible to state a prefer-
ence for one or the other at this time.  (Gas sample bags and stainless
steel bombs have been successfully used for direct GC/MS analysis on EPA
Contract No. 68-02-2197.)  A gas sample may be collected in a 10-liter bag
and returned to the laboratory where 0.1-1.0 liter of the sample can be
condensed  (concentrated) in a manner similar to the Kaiser tube approach
and then introduced into the GC/MS for analysis.  Alternatively, several
0.1 and 1.0 liter samples can be collected on Tenax and returned to the
laboratory for thermal desorption and GC/MS.  This latter approach is
attractive in terms of the analysis, but it is uncertain as to whether the
Tenax trap is capable of retaining all of the volatile species in the C1-C6
range.  Therefore, these methods are recommended as concurrent efforts.

     The reactive organic compounds are best analyzed on-site as they are
emitted.  Some reasonable simple tests kits are available for preliminary
screening during the Level 1 effort.  MEG category 1 reactive compounds may
also be detected in the integrated bag sample.  Table 4-1 lists some reactive
organic and inorganic gases which can be sampled and analyzed by use of
Mine Safety Appliances (MSA) or other test kits and their range of detec-
tion.   Although this is not a recommended Level 2 analysis method, it can
indicate if these compounds should be considered for a more suitable Level 2
analytical method, e.g., NDIR.  Judgment must be exercised with the use of
these  predesigned systems and interferences, reliability, and detection
limits and conversion to yg/m^ volumes made for each kit used.

     NDIR (or remote FTIR which is now under development) techniques are
applicable to metal carbonyls (categories 42, 68, 72, and 76), silane (cate-
gory 43) and halide gases (categories 56, 57, and 58).  Identification of
interferences, gas conditioning requirements, and sensitivity must be
assessed in the presite activities for these techniques.
     Tests for the reactive organic compounds cannot be discussed in gen-
eralized terms.   In the phased approach, when a category is implicated, a
presite literature search, choice of analytical method and presite analy-
tical  checkout should  be  conducted.  In these cases, as well as some inor-
ganic  areas,  EPA  literature and the Federal Register may contain specific
test methods.

                       5.  LEVEL 2 INORGANIC ANALYSES

     Samples for Level  2 analysis may have either been retained from previous
Level 1 analyses, or are new samples that have been obtained specifically
in a Level 2 sampling effort.   In general, the sampling systems used produce
particulate matter samples from probe, cyclones, probe washings, filters,
impingers, and the gas conditioner module and module condensate.  Additional
organic or inorganic solids, such as feed materials, both solid and liquid
portions of slurries, and liquids — including leachates of selected solids,
are  also possible Level 2 samples.
     Level 2 inorganic analysis is primarily concerned with compound iden-
tification and consequently the emphasis is placed on the analysis of solid
materials.  Analysis of liquid samples for inorganic material is concerned
with the  precise elemental composition, oxidation state of free or com-
plexed elements, and the anion content of the sample.  The following sec-
tions discuss the preparation, analysis, and correlation of data for Level
2  inorganic analysis.  The approach presented here has been under develop-
ment on EPA contract 68-02-2165.  Preliminary details were applied and
further expanded for this presentation.
5.1  INORGANIC COMPOUND IDENTIFICATION
     The  analysis of inorganic compounds requires the coordinated use of a
variety of analytical techniques.  Some techniques, such as XRD, TEM-SAED
and  ESCA, have the potential for direct compound identification, but only
for  selected compounds.  The approaches described in Figures 5-1 through
5-3  are of increasing analytical complexity, designed to be cost and time
effective.  The identification scheme consists of:
          t   Initial Sample Characterization - elemental composition, sam-
             ple stability, and bulk morphological structure are deter-
             mined.
          •   Bulk Composition Characterizations —qualitative and quanti-
             tative anion, oxidation state, and X-ray diffraction infor-
             mation are derived.
         •   Individual Particle Characterization — single particle ele-
             mental composition, X-ray diffraction pattern and morphology
             are measured.
                                    28

-------
     The degree to which each method  can be applied will vary considerably
with the experience, sample  quantity  and equipment available to the analyst,
It is recommended that continued  use  of any one method be evaluated in
light of the information derived.   In general, it is far better to use a
variety of  instruments operated in  the most efficient manner rather than
pushing a single instrument  or technique to the limit of its capabilities.
     Figures 5-4 through 5-6 describe a logic path for identification of
inorganic compounds in a solid matrix using the methods from Figure 5-1.
A similar approach for liquid samples is described in Figure 5-7.   In both
approaches  emphasis is placed on  reaching an accurate closure to the MEG
compounds which exceed MATE  values.   After a method or series of methods
has been applied, a comparison is made of lists of identified to potential
MEG compounds for elements which  exceed their MATE values.   A satisfactory
analysis will depend upon a  variety of factors:
         •   Number of compounds  identified versus MEG compounds exceeding
             MATE values
         •   Interest in identifying  the remaining compounds for those ele-
             ments that have exceeded MATE values
         t   Cost/availability of necessary equipment
The analyst must decide what method will be applied and how much more infor-
mation can  be obtained by each additional analysis.  In many cases some
methods can be bypassed because of results from previous tests, e.g., quan-
titative anion analysis may  provide sufficient information and FTIR would
only be repetitious.  In other cases  efforts may direct the analyst to a
specific method when it would be  best to analyze for a given compound.  The
following sections provide a discussion of the proposed methodology and
information derived.  By understanding the output from each technique, the
analyst will be better able  to select the appropriate combination of tech-
niques to determine the compounds present in the environmental sample of
interest.
5.2.1  Initial Sample Characterization
     Initially, information  from  all  sources (Level 1 field and analytical
data) concerning the composition  of the sample is pooled, assessed, and
                                    29

CONFIRMATION AND QUANTITATION OF SPECIFIC
ANIONS
ONLY SMALL SHIFTS ARE SEEN IN THE SPECTRA WITH
DIFFERENT CATIONS. ANION INFORMATION IS ESSEN-
TIAL FOR INTERPRETING XRD DATA TO ELIMINATE
POTENTIAL COMPOUNDS

RATIO'S OF ANION'CATIONS USED TO PREDICT POTEN-
TIAL COMPOUNDS
 INORGANIC HALOGENS HAVE NO BANDS IN THE IR

 SPECTRA CAN CHANGE DEPENDING ON MOISTURE
 CONTENT OF SAMPLE
 TIME CONSUMING, SINCE DIRECTED TOWARD SPECIFIC
 ANION
ELEMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION DETERMINES OXIDATION
STATE OF ELEMENTS PRESENT IN SAMPLE

CAN DETERMINE BULK CONCENTRATIONS OF HOMOGEN-
EOUS SAMPLES AT OR ABOVE 0.1%

THOUGH ESCA IS EXTREMELY SURFACE LIMITED SINCE
ELECTRONS HAVE SHALLOW {3 TO 20A") ESCAPE DEPTH,
THIS MAKES THE ESCA A VERY USEFUL TOOL FOR
STUDYING ABSORPTION PHENOMENA SUCH AS SO-
ON SOOT OR FLYASH                      z

MOST COMMERCIAL INSTRUMENTS HAVE ION (Art)
BEAM FOR SEQUENTIAL REMOVAL OF ATOMIC LAYERS
FOR DEPTH PROFILE ANALYSIS
 DIRECT COMPOUND IDENTIFICATION NOT NORMALLY
 POSSIBLE SINCE THERE ARE USUALLY ONLY SMALL SHIFTS
 IN BINDING ENERGY OF ELEMENTS IN THE SAME
 OXIDATION STATE ASSOCIATED WITH ANIONS OR
 CATIONS
 INTERPRETATION AND QUANTITATION OF DATA IS
 DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES STANDARDS MATCHING THE
 MATRIX
INTERPRETATION OF DIFFRACTION PATTERN PROVIDES
QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ON CRYSTALLINE
MATERIALS PRESENT. DIFFRACTION LINES ARE MATCHED
WITH SPECTRA OF PURE COMPOUNDS IN THE ASTM
POWDER DIFFRACTION TABLES
THE DIFFRACTION LINES ARE STUDIED AND POTENTIAL

LINES IN SAMPLE SPECTRA

POTENTIAL COMPOUNDS ARE ELIMINATED OR PROPOSED
BASED ON INFORMATION FROMSSMS OR AAS (ELEMEN-
TAL DISTRIBUTION), ESCA (OXIDATION STATE) AND
IR (ANIONS PRESENT)
STATE OF THE ART SENSITIVITY IS LIMITED TO -0.05%
DEPENDING ON COMPOUND AND MATRIX.  ROUTINE'

IN TEM, ELECTRON BEAM IS IMPINGED ON A THIN FILM
Of SAMPLE AND THE RESULTANT TRANSMITTED ELECTRON
BEAM IS OBSERVED AND RECORDED

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS USING TEM IS SUPERIOR TO
SEM BECAUSE:

  • SMALLER SAMPLES CAN BE OBSERVED AND IDENTIFIED

  • CHEMICAL SPECIES SUCH AS ASBESTOS ARE MORE
   RELIABLY IDENTIFIED, (TEM'S SELECTED AREA ELECTRON
   DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS IS MORE DEPENDABLE THAN
   SEM'S ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS)
                                             AT THIS POINT, IF ALL PARTICLES ARE NOT IDENTIFIED,
                                             THE ANALYST MUST DECIDE WHETHER FRACTIONATION
                                             OF THE SAMPLE WOULD IMPROVE THE IDENTIFICATION
                                             OF MATERIALS PRESENT

                                             IF SEPARATION STEP IS EMPLOYED, EXTREME CARE MUST

  SEM'S HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES OFTEN ALLOW PAR-

  THE EDX INFORMATION CAN BE USED TO DETERMINE
  ELEMENTAL RATIOS AND THE EXACT COMPOSITION OF
  THE PARTICLE
RELATIVELY LONG COUNTING TIMES ARE REQUIRED FOR
TRACE ELEMENTS, BUT THE EDX INSTRUMENT STABILITY
LIMITS COUNTING TIME TO 10 OR IS MINUTES

AT HIGH COUNT RATES, PEAKS MAY BROADEN

PARTICLES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY MAY INTERFERE AND
PRECLUDE UNAMBIGUOUS ANALYSIS

EDX DOES NOT RESOLVE ELEMENTS FROM S TO Ni
VERY WELL

QUANTITATIVE WORK DEPENDS ON HAVING SUITABLE
STANDARDS
  COMPOUND IDENTIFIED BY ELEMENTAL RATIOS

  EPMA ESSENTIAL WHEN ELEMENTS C THROUGH No ARE
  PRESENT SINCE SEM-EDX DOES NOT SEE THOSE
  ELEMENTS
IDENTIFICATION POSSIBLE ONLY FOR PARTICLES CON-
TAINING DISCRETE COMPOUNDS RATHER THAN A
HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURE

BETTER QUANTITATIVE RESULTS WHEN STANDARDS ARE
USED WHOSE COMPOSITION CLOSELY MATCHES THE
SPECIMEN
  IDENTIFIES CRYSTALLINE COMPOUNDS BY THEIR
  CHARACTERISTIC DIFFRACTION PATTERNS
                                                            ONLY CRYSTALLINE MATERIAL CAN BE IDENTIFIED
SEPARATING COMPLEX MIXTURE INTO SIMPLER FRACTIONS
AIDS COMPOUND IDENTIFICATION
CAN USE INFORMATION ON PARTICLE DENSITY, SOLU-
BILITY, AND MAGNETIC PROPERTIES TO IDENTIFY
COMPOUNDS
DENSITY GRADIENT WILL ONLY SEPARATE DISCRETE
PARTICLES; OCCLUDEp MATERIAL WILL HAVE AN AVERAGE

pheochroistn, fracture, color, and  crystal  habit.  Microspot  tests  for  com-
mon anions and tests of  the solubility of  the particles  in water,  acid, and
base can be performed directly  on  the sample as it is being  examined under
the microscope.  These microtests  will alert the analyst to  perform quanti-
tative analyses for the  anions  detected and they will also provide infor-
mation about the potential success of full scale dissolutions and separation.
     At this stage in the analysis, quantitative analysis of anions identi-
fied in the microspot tests will most probably be performed  using classical
wet test methods, e.g.,  titrimetric, colorimetric, or specific ion electrode
tests.  A  summary of the Level  1 and 2 analytical methods used for the more
common anions  is presented in Table 5-1.   It is meant to serve as a starting
point for  the  analyst, as other methods may be substituted for those sug-
gested.  Level 2 am"on methods  can be chosen by the analyst  from Standard
Methods  (Water and Wastewater), ASTM, or other EPA procedures.
     Also, during this initial  sample characterization, the  analyst may
choose to  supplement the SSMS semiquantitative cation data by analyzing
fractions  of the samples using  such quantitative techniques  as atomic
absorption spectrometry  (either flame or fTameless), Induction Coupled
Plasma Optical Emission  Spectroscopy (ICPOES), Proton Induced X-Ray Emission
(PIXE), or X-ray fluorometry.
     In conjunction with the PLM work a TGA/DSC scan of the  sample should
be made.   This test is used primarily to determine 1) the stability of the
sample, and 2) an appropriate temperature  at which to dry samples to be used
in later tests.  In a few cases it is possible to determine  the compounds
present by the weight loss at specific temperatures.  Elemental information
from SSMS  and  anion information from PLM (and later IR) can  be combined to
give a list of potential compounds that exhibit decomposition points at the
weight loss points in the TGA or the exotherms and endotherms of the DSC.
     At the end of the initial  sample characterization,  information will
have been  obtained in the following areas:
        1.  General appearance  of  a sample
        2.  Number of different particles  present
        3.  Index of refraction and crystal structure

Having completed the initial  elemental and anion screening tests, primary
compound identification  methodology can now be applied.
5.2.2  Bulk Composition  Characterization
     It is expected that the samples will  have to be dried to a constant
water content to improve both IR and XRD spectra.  Information from the
TGA/DSC step will be used to select a drying temperature that provides water
removal without sample decomposition.  Further sample preparation will vary
with the requirements of the specific analysis method.
     For IR analysis, the KBr pellet technique for qualitative analysis is
not recommended due to ion exchange possible during the pelletizing process.
It is recommended that a Nujol mull of the sample and AgCl (1333-400 cm  )
and polyethylene (600-45 cm  ) windows be  used.   Interpretation of the
infrared spectra on the basis of characteristic frequencies can provide the
identity of specific anions and some individual  compounds.  General absorp-
tion regions for several anions are given  in Table 5-2, and specific absorp-
tion bands, which have been observed in particulate samples, are listed in
Table 5-3.
     Several investigators have done extensive work with inorganic com-
pounds and have been able to produce specific correlations between observed
spectra and individual compounds.  Tables  5-4 and 5-5 list the characteris-
tic bands for several nitrates and sulfates which could be present in envi-
ronmental samples.  There are definite analytical frequencies which can be
used to identify compounds .^particularly when supporting elemental analysis
information is available.
     Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) will be performed
on both loose particulates and particles collected on filters.  Loose

participate samples can be attached to a sample holder using an approach
called the "sticky gold" technique.  This technique was devised to over-
come the conductivity problem and securely mount the sample.  It sandwiches
                                              f"'"'"
the sample between two layers of sputtered gold.  The first layer applied
to the scotch tape does not change the tackiness of tape, which allows
loose particles to be stuck to the surface.  Another layer of gold is
deposited to assure that all the particles are near a conductive surface.
Filter pieces can be clamped directly onto the sample holder after the
the bottom layers of the filter have been peeled off.

     ESCA is employed in this step of the analysis to provide information
on the oxidation state of the elements present on the surface of the sample,
as well as on the change in elemental composition as various monolayers of
sample material  are removed through ion etching.
     Knowing the oxidation state of elements such as Cl,  S, V, Mo, and Si
provides indications to the presence or absence of specific compounds.  Once
ESCA has qualitatively established the presence of a species, specific
quantitative wet chemical tests can be made.  In some cases the chemical
shift information has been correlated with specific compounds.^  '  In this
case direct determination of a compound is possible.  It  should be noted
that ESCA is limited to bulk concentrations of 0.1 percent or more.  How-
ever, it is an extremely sensitive surface technique which is capable of
seeing a monolayer of a given element.  Ar  etching can be used to verify
the homogeneous composition of the sample, or to perform  elemental depth
profile analysis.
     The performance of specific anion tests, IR analysis, and ESCA estab-
lishes substantial information on the concentrations of a variety of cations
and anions in the sample.  This information simplifies interpretation of
the XRD spectra, and provides an independent quantification of the species
present.  In X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, approximately 100 mg of
material are ground in an agate mortar, ultrasonically dispersed with a
1:4 mixture of collodion with alcohol and then evenly spread over a glass
support.  Mounting in this fashion will produce the highest sensitivity at
low 20 values.  The major disadvantage of XRD as an analytical tool is its
inability to detect noncrystalline materials.  In many environmental sam-
ples, the crystal structure of a compound could be grossly affected by the
conditions at the source or those during sampling.  For example, As?0q can
be amorphous or crystalline depending on its temperature  history.  Further-
more, the sensitivity of XRD is normally limited to 1 percent or higher
although new computer averaging techniques enable materials to be detected
in concentrations as low as 0.05 percent.
                                    52

-------
     Having completed these analyses, information will have been obtained
on the following:
        1.  Anions present
        2.  Valence state of elements present
        3.  Elemental depth profile
        4.  Major compounds present
     At this point the analyst must correlate all data and determine if a
reasonable  (based on the analyst's judgment) agreement has been reached
with the  MEG elements exceeding their MATE values.  If there is reasonable
agreement between the elemental data obtained from quantitative techniques
and the compounds determined in this characterization, further work should
be carefully evaluated in terms of potential needs and end use.
5.2.3   Individual Particle Characterization
      It should  be emphasized that this phase of the analysis should be
carried out at  the analyst's discretion.  The analyst should consider the
sample, its source, the information already available, the type of informa-
tion which  is lacking, the instrumental techniques available, and analysis
cost before proceeding.
     Analytical  techniques which are suggested for identification of
individual  particles include Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy
Dispersive  X-ray spectrometry  (SEM--EDX), Electron Probe Microanalysis
CEPMA) and  Transmission Electron Microscopy with Selected Area Electron
Diffraction (TEM-SAED),
     In SEM the sample specimen is swept by an electron beam and the vari-
ation of  the secondary electron emission intensity is recorded.  This sig-
nal simultaneously modulates the brightness of an oscilloscope beam,
producing an image of the sample surface on the oscilloscope screen.  Since
the secondary electron beam is localized in the area  impacted by the
incident  radiation, images of relatively high resolution are achieved which
can provide morphological characteristics of individual particles.  When
SEM is used in  conjunction with an energy dispersive  X-ray spectrometer
(EDX), the  secondary X-rays produced can be monitored, thereby allowing
                                    53

-------
identification and quantification of individual elements present in the
sample.  Determining the elemental distribution of a particle is particu-
larly useful for those particles composed of various occluded materials; the
high resolution and magnification of the SEM can produce images distinctive
enough to identify the particle.  As such, the SEM information is a valu-
able adjunct to the PLM, especially for particles smaller than 0.5y.
     In order to reduce the mounting time for both SEM and EPMA (electron
probe microanalysis), particles should be mounted on a gold stage to pro-
vide a conductive surface.  Normally, a carbon film would be deposited on
the sample to ensure its conductivity.  If the sample is reasonably conduc-
tive and long analysis times are not necessary, then the carbon film may
be omitted.  Mounting samples in this fashion will not interfere with later
EPMA analysis.
     Disadvantages of the method include the inability of SEM-EDX to detect
the elements in the periodic table between carbon and sodium.  Also,
resolution of the elements between sulfur and nickel is limited.  Although
relatively long counting times are required for elements present in trace
amounts, the stability of the EDX instrument limits counting time to 10 to
15 minutes.  Peak broadening, interference from neighboring particles and
difficulties in obtaining suitable matching standards can also limit the
certainty of an analysis.  The result is generally a bulk composition cor-
related with each particle type present in the sample matrix.
     In EPMA a small energetic electron beam impinges the surface of the
particulate specimen and produces characteristic X-ray emissions.   EPMA can
be used to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the elemental  com-
position of particles ranging in size from 20y down to about 0.2y for most
of the elements of atomic numbers above that of carbon.   Instruments using
wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometers can resolve spectra of elements
sulfur through nickel in atomic number.   Using this detection, qualitative
analyses are possible.  Peak heights, or intensity ratios, are measured on
samples and standards to provide a quantitative analysis.
                                    54

-------
     To achieve the best accuracy, it is necessary to do a considerable
amount of sample preparation.  In most cases it is necessary to have stan-
dards similar in particle size and composition to the sample being analyzed.
Further, identification is possible only for particles containing discrete
compounds rather than a homogeneous mixture.
     Transmission Electron Microscopy with Selective Area Diffraction
(TEM-SAED) also involves the impingement of an electron beam on a thin
film (~1500A) of sample.  The resulting single particle X-ray diffraction pat-
tern permits identification of crystalline compounds.  The qualitative and
quantitative data obtained are excellent because 1}  individual particles
and fibers can be observed and identified, and 2) the use of selected area
electron diffraction is a dependable technique for identification of such
chemical species as asbestos and silica.
     Combining the information derived from TEM-SAED and EPMA can aid the
analyst in assembling the total nature of the various species present.
Many substances which appear essentially identical in elemental composition
as measured with the electron probe, will be determined by TEM-SAED to have
a  unique morphology and, therefore, their emitted nature and source clearly
indicated.
     At this point, if all the compounds for MEG elements exceeding their
MATE values have not been found, then the analyst might choose to reduce
the sample matrix into simple mixtures.  He can either run magnetic density
gradient, or selective dissolution studies.  In magnetic separation, mag-
nets are used to remove the magnetic fraction from the sample.  In density
gradient separation, particles are floated in organic solvents of known
density.  Considerable care must be used in selecting solvents because
many compounds could be soluble in the solvents.  This procedure can be
used to obtain gross separations by density or can be used to determine
individual particle densities.  Selective dissolution uses a variety of
solvents to remove more and more of the sample and in the process simplify-
ing the composition of the residue.
     In all these techniques care must be taken to, avoid contamination
and scrambling of compounds.  Also, reasonably large quantities of sample
are necessary.  The end result of these separations  is to provide  less
complex fractions which can be studied starting at the bulk  characteriza-
tion level.

  6.
LEVEL 2 ANALYSIS OF RETAINED SASS  SAMPLES FOR ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
     This Level  2 organic  analysis  plan  is  based  on  Level  1  analysis data
and is intended  for use on retained SASS samples.  The  plan  assumes that
Level 1 analysis has been  completed and  that this  information is available.
The techniques discussed should be  implemented  by a  skilled  mass spectrom-
etrist, since at several points in  the analysis,  judgement and even modi-
fications may have to be made to the procedures,  depending on sample source
or what compounds are identified during  the course of the  analysis.
     Combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry  (GC/MS) is central
to this analysis plan.  GC/MS combines the separation power  of the gas
chromatograph with the unexcelled identification  potential of the mass
spectrometer.  The incorporation of a computer  based data  handling system
with the GC/MS provides the most powerful compound identification tech-
nique available to the analyst.  The technique  is cost  effective but
requires an experienced spectrometrist to suitably apply it  to environ-
mental samples and analyze the data generated.  Judgements as to sample
size, depending on instrument sensitivity, and  mass  range  to be scanned,
depending on instrument resolution, as well as  selection of  an alternate
GC column for a specific sample, are at  the discretion  of the analyst.
General direction is given in this report; however,  a total  analysis to
identify every compound present in a complex mixture requires on-the-spot
modification of procedures.  The molecular weights and necessary M/e values
for most of the MEG organic compounds are given in Appendix  C.
     The most cost effective Level  2 analysis scheme would be a specific
analysis based on category data obtained from Level  1.   This information
would provide data for GC column selection and  would generally simplify
the overall analysis.  The analysis scheme as outlined is for all  cate-
gories of compounds on the MEG list with the exception of those compounds
which are volatile and are analyzed by the field GC technique and  those
which are reactive and chemically modified by sampling or storage.
     This Level  2 analysis plan incorporates wet chemical  separations,
including sample extractions and liquid  chromatography, and  instrumental
analysis using primarily GC/MS.  Other techniques are discussed which may
be applied in special cases but require  further research  Into  their

                                    56

-------
application.  These include high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS),
chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS), gas chromatography, with
selective detectors, and capillary column GC/MS.  The proposed analysis
plan is patterned after Level 1.  It was designed to provide information
on total compound identity and yet ease the total sample burden imposed by
the analysis of every Level 1 organic sample fraction.  Specific GC col-
umns are described together with appropriate conditions for their use in
identifying the appropriate MEG compounds sought in each fractionated sam-
ple extract.   If a category is known to be absent in a specific sample,
based on information from Level 1, it is expected that this knowledge will
be used to  modify the analysis.  If specific compounds are expected at very
low concentrations, they should be analyzed separately since, in general, low
levels  of materials will be lost in the analysis plan as outlined.  Typical
sensitivites  for various analysis steps are given as a part of the overall
method  discussion.  It  is important that the analyst implementing this
Level  2 plan  have a working knowledge of Level  1 organic analysis since
it  is  not  intended to be a step-by-step workbook but rather a logical
sequence of experiments to achieve the goal of  compound identification.
      The approach presented here has been specifically developed for Task 6
of  EPA  Contract 68-02-2163.  Under EPA Contract 68-02-2150 a procedures
manual  is being prepared for Level 2 organic sampling and analysis (5).  It
should  be referred to by the Level 2 analyst as a more complete compendium
on organic  compound identification methodologies.
6.1  HARDWARE  REQUIREMENTS AND OPTIONS FOR LEVEL 2 ANALYSIS
     The primary tool for Level 2 analysis is a high sensitivity GC/MS
instrument.  A discussion of corollary GC/MS techniques, expected to  be
useful  during  the course of this analysis, is given as well as where their
use is  appropriate.  Other instrumental methods are briefly discussed,
however, further work is needed before they may be routinely applied.
6.1.1   GC/MS
     In order  to apply GC/MS and obtain reliable data it is necessary  to
have a  spectrometer which is capable of high speed scanning (i.e., record-
ing a full  mass spectrum in 3 seconds or less)  with resolution  that  will
                                    57

-------
allow separation nominal mass peaks to at least mass  600.   The gas
chromatograph should be capable of using glass columns  since many of the
materials to be analyzed are sensitive to metal surfaces.   The mass spec-
trometer should be capable of chemical ionization with  a variety of reagent
gases such as methane or isobutane.  The ability to use capillary columns
may be useful in many of the analyses which are anticipated.  The incor-
poration of a computer based data handling system lessens  the labor involved
in acquiring mass spectral data, and reduces the time for data reduction and
interpretation.  The computer does not eliminate the  need for an experienced
mass spectroscopist; it merely provides a more cost effective means of
handling large columns of mass spectral data.
6.1.2  Chemical lonization (CI) Mass Spectrometry
     Normal mass spectrometry is accomplished by bombarding the sample with
70 eV electrons.  The tonization process produces a spectrum which contains
characteristic fragment ions from the molecule under study.  In most cases
a  molecular ion is produced (i.e., the ion representative of molecular
weight) and its identification is unambiguous', however, in some cases, no
molecular ion is produced or it is present at such a low level that it
cannot be identified.  The most important peak in any mass spectrum is the
molecular ion since a knowledge of molecular weight reduces the total num-
ber of organic compound possibilities by a substantial  amount.  Electron
ionization does provide  a great deal of compound structure information, but
when the molecular ion  is absent much information is lost, making spectral
interpretation difficult.
     Chemical ionization incorporates a reagent gas to perform the ioniza-
tion process.  The use of methane or  isobutane for the chemical ionization
process is most common.  When these reagent gases are used, the energy of
ionization is reduced from 70 to about 7 eV.   The result is ionization of a
sample without sufficient excess energy to cause significant  fragmentation
and, in most cases, the pseudomolecular ion dominates  the  spectrum yield-
ing molecular weight information.  The CI  process involves a  transfer of a
proton from the reagent gas  to the sample when ionization  occurs.  The
resulting spectrum is a pseudomolecular ion at 1 mass  unit higher than the
molecular weight of the compound.  Chemical ionization should always be
used in conjunction with electron  ionization  for spectral  interpretation.

                                    58

-------
As is true with most analytical techniques, chemical ionization is not
without its difficulties.  The ionization of some materials such as alco-
hols, causes a protonation of the hydroxyl group followed by a loss of water
from the pseudomolecular ion by a thermal process.  An example of this type
of ionization is given below:
        CH3                              CH.,              CH,
          X            4-                  \  +             \
          HC-OH  +  CH5  (Reagent Gas)	-HC-OH2 + CH4-^—HC+ + H20
        CH3                             CH3              CH3

The loss of water from the pseudomolecular ion is primarily dependent on
source temperature, and  is increased with higher temperatures.  This frag-
mentation process may not take place when electron ionization is used and
in many cases causes confusion in the interpretation of the molecular
weight.  Similar occurrences take place when amines are being studied,
showing a loss of ammnonia from the pseudomolecular ion, and to a les-
ser extent acids, ethers, esters, and halogenated compounds.  Hydro-
carbon samples are typically not sensitive to chemical ionization.  This
is especially true of normal hydrocarbons.  Under CI conditions, straight
chain hydrocarbons often show a loss of 1 from the molecular ion rather
than an addition, together with a significant reduction in overall sensi-
tivity.  Materials which contain heteroatoms such as nitrogen, oxygen, and
sulfur, generally show an increase in sensitivity relative to their
electron ionization spectra.  This variation in sensitivity is useful in
identifying heteroatom structures In complex hydrocarbon samples using
chemical ionization.  Other reagent gases are available (e.g., ammonia,
nitrous oxide, and hydrogen), however, less work has been done with these
reagent gases and their  use should be limited to those experienced in their
application.
6.1.3  Multiple Ion Detection Mass Spectrometry
     Multiple ion detection mass spectrometry (MID) is a technique to
improve the sensitivity  and selectivity of the mass spectrometer as a GC
detector.  To use MID the GC retention time of the compound of interest
must be known in advance and this, together with the appearance of a peak
                                    59

-------
at that retention time, is used as confirmation of the presence of a material
To use the technique, the mass spectrometer is set up to monitor a specific
set of masses, typically a number from 1 to 8.  The sensitivity of the mass
spectrometer is increased by increasing the amount of time spent on selected
mass peaks.  The signal to noise is improved as a square root of 2 for every
doubling of the time spent at a given mass number.  This specifically is
achieved by selecting only a small number of mass peaks to be monitored
specifically for the compound of interst.  The resultant data is a chroma-
togram for a specific set of masses.   When an inflection occurs at a point
consistent with the retention time of the compound of interest, that mate-
rial has been identified and can be quantified providing standards are
available.  It is not practical to perform multiple ion detection for
several components in a single mixture, however, if a particular compound
such as a nitrosoamine is suspected to be present in a sample at very low
levels, the technique can be invaluable.  Standards should be run to deter-
mine the retention time on the column used for the analysis.   Any inter-
ferences should also be noted.
6.1.4  High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS)
     The techniques discussed to this point require that the compound of
interest be amenable to gas chromatography.  Many materials,  of course, can
not be chromatographed and therefore do not lend themselves to GC/MS.  High
resolution mass spectrometry is a technique by which one can analyze low
volatility residual materials.  Total compound identification may not be
possible in all cases depending on mixture complexity; however, functional
groups and heteroatoms can generally be identified unambiguously.  The
technique as discussed employs the direct insertion probe which is used to
introduce the sample into the ion source of the mass spectrometer.  The use
of a high resolution data system, together with the high resolution mass
spectrometer, is important in obtaining useful data in a reasonable  time.
Full spectra should be recorded and the computer used to reduce the data to
element maps for selected mass peaks.  The element maps will give the
elemental composition for mass peaks and an experienced mass spectrometrist
can use this information to determine the compound types in the sample.
The sophistication of a high resolution mass spectrometer is much greater
than GC/MS and the sophistication of the operator must also be greater.

                                    60

-------
This technique should be applied when it is evident that significant
quantities of organic compounds have not been chromatographed and, there-
fore, are unidentified through the application of GC/MS.
6.1.5  Infrared Spectroscopy
     Infrared spectroscopy is useful in determining compound functionality.
The technique is not applied directly in this Level 2 plan since it is
assumed that IR spectra have previously been recorded on all liquid
chromatography fractions in Level 1.  It is also assumed that this infor-
mation is available and  is used by  the analyst to  select appropriate GC
columns and  to ensure  that he  has analyzed  all materials which are present
in  Level  1 by this Level 2 plan.
6.1.6  High  Pressure Liquid Chromatography  (High Resolution Liquid
       Chromatography, HPLC)	
     High pressure liquid chromatography is not discussed in detail in this
analysis  plan.  This is  not to say  the technique is not useful; in fact, it
may be the most important technique to be ultimately used for Level 2
analysis.  HPLC does not suffer from the need for  volatility of a sample as
is  true with gas chromatography.  It is a very powerful separation tool,
superior  to  the extraction techniques which are used in this plan to grossly
separate  organic compounds.   It may be possible through research to use
HPLC as a screening tool to provide compounds class information.
     Further work must be done before the technique can be universally
applied to a Level 2 analysis  scheme.   In the future,  it may be possible to
take fractions from a  high resolution liquid chromatograph for direct probe
analysis  and mass spectrometer identification or ultimately an interface
between the  liquid chromatograph  and the mass spectrometer in much the same
way as a  gas chromatogaph.  Until further work  is  done using HPLC on
Level 2 type samples,  it remains  a  highly  probable technique rather than a
highly useful one.
6.1.7  Capillary GC/MS
     It may  be found  in  many  cases, that  packed  columns cannot provide  the
chromagraphic resolution necessary  to obtain  good  mass spectral  data.   It
is  expected  that this  will  be especially  true  in  the  direct  analysis  of the
extracts  prior to concentration  or  liquid  chromatographic fractionation.

                                     61

-------
A wide variety of capillary columns are available, including standard open
tubular wall coatee columns, SCOT columns, and micropacked columns.  For
the beginner, the use of a SCOT column is recommended since it is more
tolerant of temperature and sample size while providing increased resolu-
tion over its packed column counterpart.  The liquid phase chosen for a
capillary column is generally based on information obtained using packed
columns.  A wide variety of liquid phases are available, however, due to
their expense, only a selected few columns are expected to be used
routinely.  For general application in Level  2 analysis, it is recommended
that a laboratory have available an 0V - 17 SCOT column and a Carbowax 20M
SCOT column, which are between 50 and 100 feet in length.  These two
columns will satisfy 90 percent of the requirements for capillary column
GC.
6.2  SAMPLE PREPARATION AND EXTRACTION PROCEDURES
     The preparation and extraction procedures described in this section
are very similar to those used in the Level 1 analysis plan.  For those
analysts familiar with Level 1 analysis, the only modification is in the
extraction of the condensate of the XAD-2 sorbent trap.  Level 1 prepared
samples should be used where possible without further work.
6.2.1  Probe wash, Cyclones, and Filter SASS Train Samples
     The probe wash, cyclones, and filter samples should be analyzed as
shown in Figure 6-1 starting with a methylene chloride extraction.  The
extractions should be made using a Soxhlet apparatus for 24 hours.  For
particulate samples, the Soxhlet cup should have been previously extracted
following the established procedures outlined for Level 1 analysis to remove
contamination which would lead to erroneous results.
6.2.2  XAD-2 Sorbent Trap
     The XAD-2 resin from the sorbent trap should be extracted with
methylene chloride using a glass cup and a large Soxhlet apparatus.

6.2.3  Extraction of the Condensate
     The condensate from the sorbent trap should first be extracted with
methylene chloride after the pH has been adjusted to 11 or greater with 6N
sodium hydroxide.  This base/neutral extract should be set aside for sub-
sequent analysis.  The solution pH is then adjusted to less than 2 using 6N
hydrochloric acid and the extraction with methylene chloride repeated.  This
division of the condensate sample into two extracts may eliminate the need
for the liquid chromatographic (LC) separation step making the overall
analysis less expensive.
6.3  ANALYSIS OF THE EXTRACTS FOR VOLATILE COMPONENTS
     Concentration of extracts prior to analysis causes the loss of most
materials with boiling points below about 220°C (C12).  To obtain data on
low boiling extracted compounds from the SASS train samples, GC/MS analysis
is run on the sample prior to concentration.  A 2 ml aliquot of the extract
should be saved for this analysis.  One GC/MS run on each sample is made
using a general purpose column, e.g., 0V - 17.  If specific classes of
compounds were found to be present from the Level 1 data for a given
extract, a repeat analysis of the uncondensed extract may be necessary
to determine if more volatile materials in the same compound class are
present.  Column selection for the rerun of a sample should be based on
the categories identified from the GC/MS analysis of the LC fractions.
6.3.1  GC/MS Analysis of the Probe Wash, Cyclones, and Filter Extract
     The GC/MS analysis of the probe wash, cyclones and filter extracts
should be run using chromographic conditions given below:
     •  Liquid phase:  OV-17
     •  Liquid loading:  3 percent
     •  Solid support:  Chromasorb W - AW - DMCS
     •  Column type:  glass
     t  Column size:  2 mm ID x 2 meters  long
     •  Temperature program:  50°C  for  5  minutes,  50°-280°C at  6°C
                              per minute
                                     64

-------
     t  Hold at maximum until all peaks elute
     t  Injector temperature:  280°C
     •  Detector and transfer line to separator temperature:  280°C
     t  Flow rate of helium:  30 cc per minute
     •  Sample size:  1 to 5 (j.1
     •  Sensitivity:  approximately 30 nanograms per p.1 injected
     This set of chromatographic conditions is very general and is designed
to separate and quantify most organic compounds suspected to be present in
a sample.  Specific categories and concentrations determined from the LC
fractionation step may dictate the use of an alternate column and/or
modification of the conditions for this column.  This judgement can be made
only by the analyst based on his ability to interpret the GC/MS data.  The
complexity of this extract is expected to vary widely depending on the
source.  When a sample is highly complex, the use of chemical ionization
mass spectrometry is recommended, chemical ionization may aid in the inter-
pretation of individual mass spectra especially if no molecular ion is
present in the El spectrum.  The application of chemical ionization was
described in Section 6.1.2.
     When problems of chromatographic resolution are present due to sample
complexity the use of capillary GC/MS may aid compound identification.
Liquid phase selection should be made based on the LC fraction data.  A
good starting column would be a 50-foot OV-17 SCOT column.  The application
of capillary GC/MS is discussed in Section 6.1.7.
6.3.2  GC/MS Analysis of the XAD-2 Module Extract
     The procedure outlined for the probe, cyclones, and filter extract,
Section 6.3.1, is adequate for the methylene chloride extract of the XAD-2
sorbent material.  No special precautions other than those discussed above
are necessary.  The sensitivity of this analysis is also expected to be
30 nanogram per HL! injected.
                                     65

-------
6,3.3  GC/MS Analysis of the Condensate Extract
     The condensate extract consists of two parts, a base/neutral fraction
and an acid fraction.  The GC/MS analysis of these fractions.is based on
the polarity of compounds expected to be present.   The separation of the
condensate into two parts may possibly eliminate the need for an LC
fractionation step on this sample.  The base/neutral fraction may be some-
what complex but the acid fraction should be relatively clean.  If the
chromatograms are not too complex, it is advisable to concentrate the
samples hundredfold  and repeat this analysis to increase the overall sensi-
tivity without the necessity of LC fractionation.   A probe HRMS run on the
residue of the sample will provide information on  the compounds which are
not amenable to GC/MS (see Section 6.1.4 for high  resolution mass spectrom-
etry techniques).  If both fractions are complex,  the samples should be
blended prior to LC fractionation, however, if only one fraction is complex,
only that fraction need be submitted for further workup.
GC/MS Analysis of the Base/Neutral Fraction of the Condensate __
     The same procedure outlined for the probe, cyclones, and filter
extracts is applied to the base/neutral fraction of the condensate.  Sensi-
tivity of this analysis is expected to be 30 nanograms per microliter
injected.
GC/MS Analysis of the Acid Fraction of the Condensate 	
     Due to the polarity and the acidic nature of the acid fraction a
polar column is used for this analysis.  The exact column to be used
requires some additional information or the use of two columns for
analysis.  If phenols are expected, for instance,  a Tenax GC column would
be chosen.  If carboxylic acids are expected, a phosphoric acid treated
carbowax 20M column would be the best choice.  The use of both Tenax and
phosphoric acid treated carbowax will give results on all acidic species
which could be present in the sample.  When using the carbowax column,
phosphoric acid treated glass wool should be used to plug the column ends.
This will minimize adsorption of acidic species.  The gas chromatographic
procedure for each of the columns is given below:
     •  Column type:  Tenax GC
     t  Column material:. glass
                                     66

-------
     • Column  size:   2  mm ID x 2 meter long
     t Temperature  program:   50°C for 5 min, 50°-300°C at 6° min;  hold
                              at maximum until  all  peaks elute
     • Injector temperature:  280°C
     • Detector and transfer line to separator temperature:   280°C
     • Flow rate of helium:   30 cc per minute
     • Sample  size:   1  to 5  jil
     • Sensitivity:   100 nanograms per jj.1  injected
     Tenax GC is a gas-solid  chromatographic material.   It does  not contain
a liquid  phase  and has very good temperature stability.  It tends to elute
polar materials with ease, however, nonpolar compounds  are likely to be
retained  on the column.   The  ultimate sensitivity achieved with  this
column is somewhat Tower than many others due to its absorbtive  character.
     The  following chromatographic conditions a^e for the phosphoric acid
treated carbowax 20M column:
     t Liquid phase:  3 percent phosphoric acid and 10 percent  carbowax
                       20M
     t Solid support:  Chromasorb W-AW
     t Column type:  glass
     • Column size:  2 mm ID x 2 meter long
     • Temperature program:   50°C for 5 minutes; 50°-180° at 4°C
                              per minute.  Hold at maximum until all
                              peaks elute
     •  Injector temperature:  190°C
     •  Detector and transfer line to separator temperature:   190°C
     •  Flow rate of helium:   30cc per minute
     t Sample size:  1-5 nl
     0 Sensitivity:  50 nanograms per |al injected
     Alternate column for acid fraction of condensate extract:
     •  Liquid phase:  FFAP  (Free  Fatty Acid Phase)
     •  Liquid loading:   10 percent

      • Solid support:   Chromasorb  W-AW
      t Column type:   glass
      • Column size:   2 mm ID x 2 meter long
      • Temperature program:   50°C  for 5 minutes,  50°-230°  at  6   per
                              minute;  hold  at maximum  until  all  peaks
                              elute
      • Injector temperature:  240°C
      • Detector and transfer line  to  separator  temperature:   240 C
      • Flow rate of helium:   30cc  per minute
      • Sample size:   1-5 pi
      • Sensitivity:   variable with sample  from  30 to  100 nanograms  per
                      jil injected
The conditions specified for the various columns may be  modified to  improve
a specific analysis.   When extracts are found to be relatively clean,  a
faster temperature program will result in less analysis  time per sample.
This judgement must be made by the  operator at the time  of  analysis.
6.4  LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC (LC) SEPARATION
     Once the preliminary GC/MS work has been completed  on  the extracted
samples, a general idea of compound type or class  is available.   The next
step is to separate the various extracts after they have been  condensed
to identify specific compounds by GC/MS.  The purpose  of this  LC procedure
is to separate the samples into approximate classes based on polarity
using a gradient elution LC technique.  The detailed procedure for the LC
fractionation is given in Appendix B.   The LC separation is not a high
resolution technique therefore overlap in the compound classes in many of
the fractions is common.  The procedure for Level  1 is followed  even
though several of the fractions are blended after separation prior to
analysis.  The blending of fractions is due to compound class similarity
and allows a more cost effective GC/MS analysis.  Table 6-1 gives the
blending of the fractions following the LC separation using the solvent
gradient outlined in Table 6-2.  (Unblended aliquots can be analyzed if
the analyst decides complexity warrants it.)

6.5  GC/MS ANALYSIS OF LC FRACTIONS
     Each of the blended LC fractions are concentrated to a volume of less
than 10 ml using an air drying technique.  Once this has been achieved,
1 ml of the internal standard is added and diluted to exactly 10 ml using
methylene chloride in a volumetric flask.  In specific cases, where sensi-
tivity is very important, a smaller volume may be used-as long as it is
known exactly.  The GC analysis of the individual fraction blends is dis-
cussed below.
6.5.1  Fraction A (1)
     Fraction A contains the compounds that generally fall in categories
1 and 2 of the MEG list  (see Table 2-5).  These include aliphatic hydro-
carbons and alkyl halides.  These are the least polar compounds to be
analyzed and are well-suited to low polarity silicon liquid phase GC
columns.  The column conditions given below provide complete analysis of
this fraction.
     •  Liquid phase:  OV-101
     •  Liquid loading:  3 percent
     •  Solid support:  Chromasorb W-AW-DMCS
     •  Column type:  glass
     t  Column size:  2 mm x 2 meters long
     •  Temperature program:  50°C for 5 minutes, 50°-280° at 6° per
                              minute. Hold at maximum until all peaks
                              elute
     •  Injector temperature:  290°C
     •  Detector and transfer line to separator temperature:  290°C
     •  Flow rate of helium:  30 cc per minute
     •  Sample size:  1-5 (j.1
     •  Sensitivity:  30 to 50 nanograms per ^1  injected
     Because of the nature of the compounds found in fraction A,  the use
of chemical ionization is not recommended to improve sample  identification.
The loss in sensitivity and the confusion resulting from  a mixed  ionization
process suggests that electron ionization is the method of choice.
                                     70

-------
6.5.2  Fraction B (2 and 3)
     Fraction B has been blended and contains categories 2, 15, 16, 21,
and 22 as outlined in Figure 6-1.  These compounds can normally be classi-
fied as unsaturated hydrocarbons and halogenated species.  In general,
these classes produce strong molecular ions in the electron ionization mode
of operation resulting in spectra which are easy to interpret.
     The GC separation is best conducted on a high temperature nonpolar
chromatographic column such as Dexil 300.  The conditions for a typical
analysis are given below.
     •  Liquid phase:  Dexil 300
     •  Liquid loading:  3 percent
     t  Solid support:  Chromasorb W-AW-DMCS
     •  Column type:  glass
     •  Column size:  2 mm ID x 2 meters long
     •  Temperature program:  50°C for 5 minutes, 50°-300°C at 6° per
                              minute.  Hold at maximum until  all peaks
                              elute
     •  Injector temperature:  300°C
     •  Detector and transfer line to separator temperature:   290°C
     •  Flow rate of helium:  30 cc per minute
     •  Sample size:  1-5 |j.l
     •  Sensitivity:  10-30 nanograms per |il injected
     The compounds generally found in LC fractions 2 and 3 are also not
amenable to chemical ionization, and electron ionization spectra of these
materials should be sufficient for compound identification.
     If the mixture is exceedingly complex such that chromatographic
resolution is insufficient, the use of a silicon liquid phase OV-17
capillary column is recommended.
                                     71

-------
6.5.3  GC/MS Analysis Fraction C (4 and 5)
     Fraction C represents classes of compounds  with increased polarity
over the previous fractions.   Several  intermediate polarity nitrogen,
sulfur, and oxygen containing compounds elute in these fractions.   Analy-
sis of this material  is best suited to an intermediate polarity silicon
column of which any one of several can be chosen.   The chromatographic
conditions given below represent a compromise for this class of materials.
     •  Liquid phase:  OV-17
     t  Liquid loading:  3 percent
     •  Solid support:  Chromasorb W
     •  Column type:   glass
     t  Column size:   2 mm ID x 2 meters long
     •  Temperature program:  50°C for 5 minutes; 50°-290°C at 6°C
                              per minute.  Hold  at maximum until all
                              peaks elute
     •  Injector temperature:  290°C
     •  Detector and transfer lines to separator temperature:   290°C
     •  Flow rate of helium:   30 cc per minute
     •  Sample size:   1 to 5 pi
     •  Sensitivity:   20 to 50 nanograms per microliter injected
     Due to the nature of these classes of compounds and the fact that they
generally contain heteroatoms, chemical ionization is recommended as a
supplemental technique to aid in the interpretation of the mass spectral
data.
6.5.4  GC/MS Analysis of Fraction D (6 and 7)
     LC fractions 6 and 7 represent complex mixtures of compounds which
are rather polar in nature and have widely varying acidities.    In these
two fractions both basic and acidic compounds elute together, and such
mixtures are not amenable to a single gas chromatographic column.
Without previous information as to the nature of compounds  present, it
is necessary to run this fraction on at least three different GC  columns
in order to ensure that all materials in the sample have been identified.
                                     72

-------
The columns selected for these analyses, given below, include an inter-
mediate polarity silicon column, a column designed to elute free fatty
acids and glycols and another to elute free amines.  A class of compounds
known as nitrosoamine elute in this fraction.  These materials are very
toxic even at low concentrations.  An attempt to analyze for nitrosoamines
in this mixture, without special care would be virtually impossible.  If
nitrosoamines are expected, special precautions should be taken;
specifically designed cleanup steps should be used followed by chromato-
graphic analysis with a column such as carbowax 20M which is especially
good for nitrosoamines at low concentration.  The use of multiple ion
detection mass spectrometry for  the determination of nitrosoamines would
be logical for this type of sample.  The three columns used for the analysis
of fractions 6 and 7 are given below together with chromographic
conditions:
     •  Liquid phase:  OV-17
     •  Liquid loading:  3 percent
     •  Solid support:  Chromasorb W
     •  Column type:  glass
     •  Column size:  2 mm ID x  2 meters long
     •  Temperature program:  50°C for 5 minutes, 50°-300°C at 6
                              per minute.  Hold at temperature maximum
                              until all peaks elute
     •  Injector  temperature:  290 C
     t  Detector  and transfer line to separator temperature:  290 C
     •  Flow rate of helium:  30cc per minute
     •  Sample size:  1 to 5 microliters
     •  Sensitivity:  20 to 50 nanograms per microliter injected
     This  column  is designed to  elute those compounds with  intermediate
polarity such as  esters, ketones, and nitrogen heterocycles.  The more
polar materials are better suited to an  FFAP column  described below.
     •  Liquid phase:   FFAP  (Free Fatty  Acid Phase)
     •  Liquid loading:  10 percent
                                    73

-------
     •  Solid support:   Chromasorb  W-AW
     •  Column type:   glass
     •  Column size:   2 mm ID x  2 meters  long
     •  Temperature program:   50°C  for 5  minutes;  50°-230°C  at  6°  per
                              minute.  Hold  at  temperature maximum until
                              all peaks elute
     •  Injector temperature:   240  C
     •  Detector and transfer line  to separator temperature:  250  C
     •  Flow rate of helium:   30 cc per minute
     •  Sample size:   1 to 5  til
     t  Sensitivity:   50 to  100  nanograms per microliter  injected
     The basic compounds, such as amines, are better  suited  to  columns
specific for basic materials.  The  following set of conditions  will  provide
good chromatographic separations for  basic compounds.
     t  Liquid phase:  10 percent carbowax 20M-3 percent  KOH
     •  Solid support:   Chromasorb  W
     •  Column type:   glass
     •  Column size:   2 mm ID by 2  meters long
     •  Temperature programs:  50°C for 5 minutes  50°-180°C  at  6°C per
                               minute.  Hold at temperature  maximum
                               until  all  peaks  elute
     •  Injector temperature:  180°C
     •  Detector and transfer line  to separator temperature:  190°C
     •  Flow rate of helium:   30 cc per minute
     •  Sample size:   1 to 5  jj]
     •  Sensitivity:   50 to 100 nanograms per  microliter injected
     The use of these three columns should provide compound identification
on fractions 6 and 7.  Alternate columns  may be used if information from
the GC/MS analysis of the original  extracted material shows specific cate-
gories present.  One alternate column would be Tenax GC, which is
especially suited for analysis of  glycols and amides, while Chromasorb
103 can be used as a substitute for the  amine column KOH-carbowax.
                                   74

-------
6.5.5  GC/MS Analysis of Fraction E  (8)
     LC fraction 8 contains the most polar materials  in  the sample such as
carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids.  These compounds are not particularly
well-suited to chromatographic analysis.  Specific columns such as FFAP
or phosphoric acid treated carbowax  (SP-216-PS) can be used to run the
lower boiling acidic species.  However, the high  boiling materials can
only be analyzed by direct insertion probe mass spectrometry, preferably

     Acid fraction 8 is particularly well-suited  for chemical ionization
and, if high resolution mass spectrometer is not  available for running the
solids probe on the residue, a solids probe analysis using chemical ion-
ization may aid in identification of some components.
     An alternative to  direct analysis of acidic  species is derivation.
Several methods of derivation are available.  However, the two most common
are the formation of trimethylsilyl esters of the acids or methylation to
form the methyl esters.  The trimethylsilyl esters are the easiest to
form, although GC/MS identification of these materials can be quite diffi-
cult.  GC/MS analysis of this derivative  generally results in the TMS
fraction of the molecule dominating fragmentation such that the spectrum is
a function of the derivation rather than  the molecule itself.  The result
is a confusing, uninformative spectrum that is difficult to interpret.

-------
Chemical ionization is not particularly well-suited to  any IMS
derivative.
     The formation of methyl  esters of carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids
is a more tedious process requiring considerably more chemistry and care.
The derivatization is usually conducted with diazomethane which is a rather
explosive substance.  However, once the derivatives are formed, chromato-
graphic separation is trivial and mass spectral  identification is usually
positive.  Chemical ionization is well suited for mass  spectral analysis
of methyl esters.  If trimethylsilyl derivatives or methyl esters are
formed, the GC separation should be performed using a OV-101 column and
the conditions outlined in Section 6.5.1.
6.6  LEVEL 2 ANALYSIS OF WATER SAMPLES
     This Level 2 plan for analysis of water samples is taken from the
"Sampling and Analysis Procedures for the Survey of Industrial Effluents
for Priority Pollutants," published by the Environmental Protection Agency,
Cincinnati, Ohio.  Figure 6-2 is a schematic diagram of the plan.  The
analysis is divided into three parts, the first is a direct injection of
the aqueous sample for the determination of very high concentrations of
organic materials and those compounds which are not amenable to the
Bellar purge and trap technique.  The second step is the purge and trap
technique where an aqueous sample is purged with an inert gas and the
water immiscible volatile organic compounds are trapped on a Tenax solid
adsorbent prior to GC/MS analysis.  Finally the sample is extracted, first
at an alkaline pH followed by an acidic pH extraction to separate the
higher boiling and water miscible organics both basic and acidic.
6.6.1  Direct Aqueous Injection GC/MS
     When impurities in the water are present at very high concentration,  they
can be most easily determined both qualitatively and quantitatively by direct
aqueous injection of the water sample.  Typically a 5 micro!iter sample
of the water is injected onto an appropriate column such as Tenax for
polar compounds and Porapak Q for nonpolar compounds using the conditions
given below.  The direct injection technique is also useful for  the analy-
sis of extremely volatile impurities which cannot be determined  by the
purge and trap technique.

Tenax GC
     GC conditions for Tenax have been previously given.
Porapak Q
     Porapak Q is a porous polymer which is a gas solid absorbent, and
will elute most nonpolar compounds with good resolution.
     •  Column type:  Porapak Q
     •  Column length:  4 mm ID by 2M long
     •  Temperature program:  Room temperature to 240°C at 6 C per
                              minute.  Hold at maximum until all  peaks
                              elute.
     •  Sample size:  3 to 10 (j.1
     t  Sensitivity:  100 nanograms per ^1 injected.
6.6.2  Purge and Trap Concentration Technique
     The purge and trap technique is designed to concentrate those organic
compounds from water which are immiscible and having  a boiling range up to
about 130°C, very low boiling immiscible materials are not trapped by this
technique.  The apparatus used for this analysis consists of a purging
chamber in which the sample is placed.  The chamber -is purged with an
inert gas such as helium at a flow rate of 40 cc per  minute.  The purge
time is approximately 12 minutes and the organic vapors are trapped on a
Tenax and silica gel column which is subsequently heated and the desorbed
gases injected into a gas chromatograph followed by separation on a carbo-
wax 1500 column.
     •  Liquid phase:  0.2 percent Carbowax 1500
     •  Solid support:  Carbopak C
     t  Column type:  glass
     •  Column size:  2 mm ID by 3 meters long proceeded by a short column
                      of 3 percent Carbowax 1500 on Chromasorb W
     •  Helium flow rate:  30 cc per minute
     •  Temperature program:  room temperature during trap  desorption
                              followed by rapid heating to  60°C hold for
                              4 minutes then program at 8°C per minute to
                              170°C, and hold for 12 minutes or until  all
                              compounds have eluted.
                                     78

-------
     •  Sensitivity:  variable depending on trapping efficiency, must be
                      determined daily when analysis technique is used.
The column used in this analysis has very  high resolution for nonpolar
materials which are low boiling.  These include categories 1, 2, 15, and
16.  If the sample is highly contaminated  and chromatographic resolution
is insufficient for compound identification, a capillary column, either
OV-17 or Carbowax 20M, may  be  used  as a substitute  in this analysis.
     When using the purge and  trap  technique, it  is necessary to run blank
water samples between each  analysis sample.  It is  also necessary to bake
the trap during the course  of  the GC run to remove  all possible inter-
fering organic substituents which may cross over  from one sample to the
next due to insufficient trap  heating.
6.6.3  Extraction of Water  Sample for GC/MS Analysis
     The extraction of water samples for subsequent analysis by GC/MS is
 identical to  the procedure  outlined for the condensate sample from the
 SASS  train.   If the chromatographic analysis of the extracts is complex
 and  incomplete compound  analysis results,  the LC  fractionation step should
 be implemented as outlined  in  Figure 6-1.

                               APPENDIX B
               LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY SEPARATION PROCEDURE

Column:  200 mm x 10.5 mm ID, glass with Teflon stopcock.
Adsorbent:  Divison Silica Gel, 60-200 mesh, Grade 950 (Fisher Scientific
            Company).  This adsorbent is activated at 100°C for two hours
            just prior to use.  Cool in a desiccator.
B.I  PROCEDURE FOR COLUMN PREPARATION
     Dry pack the chromatographic column, plugged at one end with glass
wool, with 6.0 grams of freshly activated silica gel.  A portion of prop-
erly activated silica gel weighing 6.0 ±0.2 g occupies 8 ml in a 10 ml
graduated cylinder.  Vibrate the column for a minute to compact the gel
bed.  Pour pentane into the solvent reservoir positioned above the column
and let the pentane flow into the silica gel bed until the column is homo-
geneous throughout and free of any cracks and trapped air bubbles.*  The
total height of the silica bed in this packed column is 10 cm.  The solvent
void volume of the column is 2 to 4 ml.  When the column is fully prepared,
allow the pentane level in the column to drop to the top of the silica bed
so that the sample can be loaded for subsequent chromatographic elution.
B.2  PREPARATION OF THE SAMPLE
     At room temperature evaporate the solvent from an aliquot of solution
containing the sample.  The preferred sample weight is 100 mg.  Weigh this
sample in a glass weighing funnel.  In order to facilitate transfer of the
sample, add 0.5 to 1.0 g of activated silica gel to the sample and care-
fully mix this with the sample using a micro-spatula.
     Table B-l shows the sequence for the chromatographic elution.  In
order to ensure adequate resolution and reproducibility, the column elution
rate is maintained at 1 ml per minute.
*
 A convenient device for the elimination of gel bed cracks and air bubbles
 is acetone coolant, which is subsequently referred to as the ACE B method.
 It consists of a paper towel wound loosely around the glass column along
 the region of the crack or bubble; the paper towel is periodically moist-
 ened with acetone.  The acetone evaporation cools the region and dissi-
 pates the bubble or crack.

B.3  LOADING SAMPLE ON THE COLUMN
     Quantitatively transfer the sample into the column via the weighing
funnel used for 'sample preparation; a micro-spatula can be used to aid in
the sample transfer.  Rinse the funnel* with a few ml of pentane to com-
plete the quantitative sample transfer.  (Note:  Do not rinse with methy-
lene chloride because this solvent will cause the aromatics to elute with
the paraffins.)  Add the solvent slowly to minimize disturbing the gel bed
and eliminate the trapped air bubbles, particularly in the zone of the
sample-containing silica gel, by using the ACE B approach (see footnote,
preceding page).  The chromatographic system is now ready for sample
fractionation.
B.4  CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION INTO 8 FRACTIONS
     The volume of solvents shown in Table B-l represents the solvent vol-
ume collected for that fraction.  If the volume of solvent collected is
"save this weighing funnel for subsequent additional rinsing with the sol-
 vents used at interim fractions up to methylene chloride.
                                   109

-------
less than volume actually added due to evaporation, add solvent as neces-
sary.  In all cases, however, the solvent level in the column should be at
the end of the collection of any sample fraction.
     After the first fraction is collected, rinse the original sample
weighing funnel with a few ml of the fraction number 2 solvent (20% methy-
lene chloride/pentane) and carefully transfer this rinsing into the column.
Repeat as necessary for fractions 3 and 4,
B.5  PREPARATION OF XAD-2 RESIN
     The XAD-2 resin to be used in the SASS train sorbent trap must be
cleaned prior to use.  The resin as obtained from Rohm and Haas is soaked
with an aqueous salt solution.  This salt solution plus residual  monomer
and other trace organics must be removed before the resin can be used for
sampling trace organics.
     Transfer the resin to a large Soxhlet extractor with a 1.5-liter
dumping volume.  This requires 2 to 2.5 liters of solvent in the 3-liter
supply flask.  The XAD-2 resin is then extracted in sequence with the
following solvents and times:
        •   Water - 22 hrs
        •   Methanol - 22 hrs
        •   Anhydrous ether «• 8 hrs
        •   Pentane - 22 hrs
     The water removes the salt solution and any water soluble organic
material.  Methanol removes the residual water from the resin and ether
removes the majority of the polar organic material.  Pentane is used as
the final stage because it is the solvent used in the actual extraction
of collected material from the resin.
     After the final pentane extraction, transfer the XAD-2 resin into a
clean flask and dry it under a vacuum for 18 hours using mild heat from
a heat lamp.

 ceed from the initial emission screening analysis (Level 1) to the detailed emission
 characterization (Level 2), and a Level 2 analytical approach. The decision criteria,
 considering only the available  Level 1 chemical data, provide a basis which can be
 used for proceeding to a Level 2 emission characterization based on chemical cor-
 relation with  compounds identified as Multimedia Environmental Goals (MEGs). The
 report discusses the types of Level 1 environmental assessment samples, and the
 chemical data available which  can be prioritized for a MEG-based Level 2 plan.  It
 presents a logic network for determining the need for a Level 2 sampling effort. K
 also presents an integrated approach to Level 2 inorganic  compound analysis, an
 identification scheme consisting of characterization of the initial sample, of bulk
 composition,  and of individual particles. Detailed logic networks are included to
 provide direction to the analyst during the identification process.  The analysis of
 solid and liquid samples for organic compounds is discussed, using mainly combined
 gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.  A logic network is provided for the organic
 analyst.
