ABSTRACT
Most of the methods currently used, or in recent use, for the analysis of pollutants in various media and categories
were identified by selected EPA laboratories. Important characteristics of each method were abstracted for presentation
in the form of a one-page summary of that method. Methods are further summarized in a matrix, that presents (1) pollutant
analyzed,(2) medium in which it occurs, and (3) non-quantitative descriptions of the measurement/detection method. Some
400 methods are included in the compendium.

PURPOSES
The primary purpose of this compendium is to draw together summary descriptions of analytical methods in recent or
current use in EPA laboratories, to serve as a data base to assist the further development of a program of standardization
of EPA analytical methodology. Secondarily, the document provides EPA management personnel with easily accessible infor-
mation on methods available for measuring specific pollutants, and the more important characteristics of these methods.
Methods included in the compendium cover a variety of applications, ranging from research and routine monitoring
through procedures that have been officially selected or recommended by EPA for specific applications (for example,
those methods promulgated in the Federal Register). The inclusion of a method in this compendium, however, does not
necessarily imply EPA endorsement. Certain of the methods are, in fact, contraindicated for specific applications;
^uch cases are clearly identified.
For some pollutants, several methods are cited for measurement or detection within a single medium. No attempt has
been made in this compendium to differentiate methods into groups that would classify them according to uses (such as
monitoring, research, enforcement, etc.) or to preference. (Exceptions: (1) methods promulgated in the Federai Register
are identified In both the matrix and in the Method Summary, and (2) when EPA laboratory personnel, in reviewing the Method
Summaries Identified shortcomings of a method or expressed preference for one method over others for a specific application,
their comments are reported in the "User Comments" section of the Method Summaries.)
CONTENTS; FORM OF PRESENTATION
Each method summarized in the compendium is presented in two levels of detail:
1
-------
• A "matrix" form that relates the pollutant (or other parameter of interest), the medium
in which it occurs, and skeletal, checklist information about the measurement method.
• A "Method Summary" that includes a brief narrative description of the analytical method
applied to a specific parameter in a given medium, plus a statement of purpose of the
analysis and quantitative characteristics of the method.
Additional information about the methods can be found in the source documents from which the summarized information was
abstracted. Both the matrix and the Method Summaries identify the reference sources.
The matrix of methods together with the list of source documents is included in Volume I of the compendium. The
compilation of Method Summaries constitutes Volume II.
Matrix of Methods
This less-detailed form of presentation is an alphabetical listing of pollutant (or other parameters), segregated
according to (1) the medium in which the pollutant occurs (air, water, solid wastes), (2) recognized categories of
pollutants (pesticides, radioactivity, oils and greases, etc.), or (3) specialized categories of measurement techniques
(biological methods).
Each horizontal line of the matrix represents a combination of
• a specific pollutant
• the medium, substrate, or category in which it occurs
2
-------
• a specific procedure for obtaining the desired measure-
ment of analytical determination.
"Checklist information relative to the procedure includes (where applicable) the following categories of information:
• Type of source
• Type of sample
• Sample preservation and handling requirements
•Sample treatment prior to measurement or detection
•Detection or measurement technique
•Form of data output (visual reading, analog electric
signal, etc.)
•Form of record (manual entry, automatic graph, etc.),.
In addition, each line on the matrix includes a reference number that indicates the primary source of information listed
in the "List of Primary Reference Sources11 included in Volume I. It also includes¦ a Method Summary Number that relates
the matrix entry to one or. more of the Method Summaires presented in Volume II.
The same matrix headings and subheadings were used for all media and special categories except biological measure-
ments. Because of the nature of many biological measurement methods, a different set of matrix headings was used.
The matrix of methods serves both as a source of highly abbreviated, non-quantitative information about a specific
analytical procedure applied to a given pollutant in a given medium, and as an index to the compilation of method
summaries appearing in Volume II.
3
-------
Method Summaties
The Summaries of Analytical Methods in Volume II of this compendium present on a single page a brief description of
an analytical method applied to a specific pollutant (or other parameter) in a given medium. Most of these methods
yield quantitative results, although some are used for identifiation, taxonomic classification, or other non-quantitative
purposes.
The information presented in the Method Summary expands upon the highly abbreviated information given in the matrix.
It is intended primarily to provide a general description of the method—its characteristics, applicability, and limita-
tions, and is in no sense given as a laboratory procedure.
Each Method Summary is Intended to provide information in the following categories:
• Identification of pollutant or parameter
• Medium in which parameter occurs (for which this
specific analytical method is applied)
• Purpose of measurement or qualitative determination
• Brief description of analytical procedure
•Limitations of method
In particular, its
- range of applicability
- interferences
- pitfalls
-------
• Statistical characteristics
- accuracy
- precision
- time required to perform measurement
•Calibration requirements
•Form of data output
*
•Comments by users of the method
•Sampling procedures or special requirements
• Reference source(s) .
A primary reference, that is, the document from which the content
of the Method Summary was abstracted, is given for each Method
Summary. In some cases, additional references are given by the
Method Summary. These secondary references are usually identified
in the primary reference. In no case was the attempt made to
relate specific portions of the information presented in the Summary
to specific secondary references, since essentially all information
in the Summary was drawn from the primary reference.
Information was entered into each of these categories when available from the primary reference source identified
in the summary, or when provided by EPA reviewers. When information was not available from the primary reference source
or was not provided by the reviewer, an entry of "Not stated" or equivalent was made for the corresponding heading. This
This category of information is included only in those summaries for which EPA reviewers provided specific comments.
5
-------
should not be taken to imply that the information is not available from other sources, including secondary references
cited in some Method Summaries.
In addition, each Method Summary is numbered to permit ready correlation with entries in the matrix. The reader
should note that several matrix entries may refer to a single summary, and conversely, that a single matrix entry may
refer to more than one summary. He should also note that the Method Summary numbers are not necessarily consecutive,
since some methods were deleted after the Method Summaries were numbered.
Definition of Headings in Method Summaries
Most of the information categories or headings used in the Method Summaries are considered self explanatory. Others
listed below, require definition or explanation of their use in this compendium.
Range of Applicability; This is intended to state the upper and lower concentration (or other appropriate
characteristics of the parameter) for which the method is applicable. When only an upper or lower limit is
given in the reference source, that information is entered. When non-quantitative information is given in
the reference source, that information may also be entered under this heading.
Sensitivity: In general, sensitivity is used synonymously with "Detection Limit", to indicate the lowest
concentration of a pollutant (or lowest value of some other parameters) that a given method can consistently
measure. In a very few cases, the source reference or reviewer distinguishes between "Detection Limit" (as
the lowest measurable value) and "Sensitivity" (as the magnitude of signal needed to obtain a reliable measure-
ment, taking into account the noise level of the measurement system). When this distinction is made in the
reference source, it is reflected in the Method Summary.
6
-------
Sensitivity, in either of the senses discussed above, may be considered to be either a statistical
characteristic or a limitation of the method. Sensitivity information was available for a relatively small
proportion of the methods summarized. The "sensitivity" heading is not included on the Method Summaries when
data are not available. When sensitivity information is reported, it is usually under the category of
"Limitations".
Accuracy and Precision: There is considerable diversity in the use of these terms among the several reference
sources from which the Method Summaries were derived. Rather than impose rigorous statistical definitions of
these and related terms, the compilers of this compendium chose to accept the statistical characteristics of the
method as stated in the reference source, and to fit this information as well as possible under the headings
Accuracy and Precision, as these terms were used more or less consistently in most of the EPA source documents.
In these sources, the implied approximate definitions are as follows:
"Accuracy" — the average of the deviations of a set of replicate measurements
of a given variable from the "known" value of that variable.
"Relative accuracy" (or "relative error", or "bias")— the difference between
average value of a set of replicate measurements and the "known" value of the
variable expressed as a proportion or percentage of the known value,.
"Precision" — either the standard deviation
tape ot the known value.
U^fl
or the standard error of the mean[ / | of a set of n replicate measurements(Xi)
of a given"variable.
7
-------
"Relative precision" (or "relative standard deviation", or ''coefficient of
variation") — the standard deviation of a set of replicate measurements,
expressed as a proportion or percent of the average value of the set.
In cases where a significant divergence existed between the statistical information in the source document and the
above definitions, the information was repeated as given in the source document and the discrepancy noted by a footnote.
Organization of the Matrix and Summaries
When the format of the compendium was being developed, several arrangements were considered. One attractive scheme
was a strictly alphabetical listing of pollutants/parameters, irrespective of medium. This would permit easy comparison
of the methods applicable to each pollutant in various media, and would also make the method for a given pollutant
easier to locate.
The scheme selected for organizing the matrix in this document was considered preferable primarily because it
reflects existing organizational responsibilities and activities within EAP laboratories, and because it facilitates pro-
duction of a document of this nature. The present arrangement necessarily involves considerable redundancy, especially
in the matrix.
The segregation of methods by special measurement category does not imply that every method included in a given
category belongs exclusively in that category. For example, all methods grouped under the heading "Radioactivity" do
not involve radionuclides, but may be used to determine stable isotopes commonly investigated in conjunction with
radioactive isotopes.
8
-------
EPA's Office of Monitoring is considering alternative arrangements of the matrix and the compilation of method
summaries for future issues of the compendium, and will welcome suggestions by users of the document.
HOW THE COMPENDIUM WAS GENERATED
The analytical methods in this compendium were selected for inclusion at the suggestion of personnel in EPA NERC's
and laboratories, following cobtact by representatives of EPA Headquarters' Office of Monitoring. Method descriptions
suggested or provided by the laboratories were summarized in a form similar to that presented in Volume II (and
described above). Rough drafts of the summaries were returned to the laboratories for review and comments. The Method
Summaries in Volume II reflect the substantive comments resulting from this review.
There are certain exceptions to this review procedure, primarily in.the category of radiation measurements. Some
older methods are included that apparently are not in current use by EPA but nevertheless are considered acceptable.
Summaries are also included for certain other radiochemical procedures which had been received too late to permit
review by EPA laboratory personnel. These special cases are clearly indicated by asterisked footnotes.
Certain of the methods in the air and drinking water categories were also indicated by the reviewer to be obsolete
or not recommended. Summaries of such methods are included in the compendium with the reviewers' comments or caveat
clearly flagged. These "not recommended" method summaries were retained to indicate that they had been considered and
to emphasize that they were not used and not recommended for use by EPA.
9
-------
STATE OF COMPLETION OF THE COMPENDIUM
This initial issue of the compendium contains methods suggested by about twelve component organizations of EPA's
National Environmental Research Centers or other EP& laboratories. The compendium does not, however, include all
analytical methods in current use by EPA. Such important categories as biological methods for drinking water analyses
and methods for air pollution from mobile sources were not included because of time and budgetary limitations of the
initial effort. Expansion of the compendium to include additional methods is under consideration by the Office of
Monitoring.
The present compendium is incomplete in certain other respects. Many of the Method Summaires contain a large
number of "Not stated" or "Information not available" entries for many of the headings, especially those requiring
quantitative data. As discussed earlier, the "Not stated" entries imply only that the Information was not available
from the primary reference source from which the summary was abstracted. In many cases, needed information was supplied
by reviewers in EPA Laboratories. It was, however, outside the scope of the present effort to search secondary refer-
ences for such data.
The process of abstracting information from a detail analytical procedure to develop a summary of the method neces-
sar±1y involves selection of certain material. The degree of selection is even, greater in determining vhich
elements should be included in the highly condensed matrix format, to give even a key-word-type indication of what the
method involves. While the one page summaries give only a partial description of the analytical procedure, the matrix
should be considered to provide only a suggestion of the steps involved.

CORRECTIONS
In the first issue of a compilation of this size and nature, it is possible that errors of various types (typographi-
cal, transposition, technical, etc.) may escape detection during proofreading and other checking procedures. The Office
of Monitoring requests that readers notify the Chief of Standarization Branch, Office of Research and Monitoring, EPA
Headquarters, of any significant errors they may detect, in order that corrections may be made in subsequent issues.
