Analytical Methods Recommended for Drinking Water
Monitoring of Secondary Contaminants
Analysis for the following contaminants may be conducted in accordance with the methods in the following table, or their equivalent as determined by EPA.
Methods for copper, fluoride, and pH are listed in 40 CFR 141.23 and methods for the remaining contaminants are in 40 CFR 143.4. Additional methods are
» listed in Appendix A to Subpart C of Part 141. The recommended monitoring for these contaminants is specified in 40 CFR 143.4.
The CFR is the legal reference for approved methods and takes precedent over this table. The table should accurately reflect the analytical methods
information published in 40 CFR 141.23, 143.4, and Appendix A to Subpart C of Part 141. If you find discrepancies, please notify The Safe Drinking Water
Hotline (800-426-4791) so that EPA can correct the table.
