- Summary:
- The techniques that are typically used to prepare RCRA wastes for analysis for metals and other elements are generally relatively time consuming, requiring several hours to several days to complete. They also often involve the use of acid digestions and thermal decomposition steps which may result in analyte losses, incomplete recoveries, or sample contamination. These limitations are well known to the analytical community and to the end users of these data in the U.S. EPA, States, and industry. The resulting inefficiency of these techniques reduces laboratory sample throughput, drives up the cost of analytical testing and impedes decisionmaking. Given these concerns, the OSW Methods Section is interested in developing cost-effective sample preparation techniques for metals and other elements in environmental and process waste samples. Once developed, these techniques can then be written as methods for inclusion in the U.S. EPA ¿̐ưTest Methods for Evaluation of Solid Waste¿̐ư (SW-846) [1] and made available to the user community.
