Method 45

2,3,4,6-Tetrachlorophenol


This method describes the sample collection and analysis of 2,3,4,6-Tetrachlorophenol. Samples are collected by drawing a known volume of air through a sampling device consisting of two specially prepared XAD-7 adsorbent tubes which are connected in series. Following desorption with methanol, the samples are analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet (UV) detection. Special requirements: The special sampling device must be obtained from the laboratory. It contains two XAD-7 adsorbent bed sections which are used for trapping vapor components; a glass fiber filter for trapping aerosols, and a XAD-7 "cap" section. The XAD-7 "cap" tube is used as a precautionary measure to prevent the loss of volatile components which may have collected on the filter during sampling. The "cap" tube must be removed from the front section of the sampler prior to sampling and reattached at the end of the sampling period.
