Test Methods for Nonconventional Pesticides Chemicals Analysis of Industrial and Municipal Wastewater

摘要

This document presents the findings of studies of the pesticide chemicals point source category for the purpose of developing test methods for the analysis of 66 of the 137 nonconventional pesticide pollutants for which effluent limitations guidelines and standards were proposed on November 30, 1982. These test methods are proposed under authority of Sections 304(h) and 501(a) of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et. 5eg. (the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972) (the 'Act'). This document contains compilation of three sets of methods: those developed by industry, those developed by the contractor and those developed/approved by EMSL. Quality assurance (QA) requirements for the collection, preservation and handling of samples and requirements of quality control (QC) and safety are also contained in this report. Supporting data and rationale for the test methods are contained in this report and supporting file records.
