Development of methodology and technology for identifying and quantifying emission products from open-burning and open-detonation thermal-treatment methods. Field Test Series A, B, and C. Volume 2, Part A. Quality assurance and quality control. Final report, Dec 88-Jan 92
The report describes the quality assurance/quality control program conducted during 1990 field testing which supported the OB/OD Thermal Treatment Methods Study. The QA/QC program encompassed sample collection, preparation, storage, extraction, analytical instrument operation, data reduction, statistical data analyses and interpretation. Samples included atmosphere collected in evacuated stainless steel canisters, soil, and Teflon coated-glass-fiber media. The supercritical fluid chromatograph and gas chromatograph with mass spectrometers were the principal laboratory analytical instruments used during these field tests. Real-time instruments detected and quantified CO, C02, NO, NO2, and NOx. Near-real-time analyses were accomplished by use of a Teflon bag in which samples of the plume were collected for analyses during testing operations. Sample-tracking was conducted using a system which permitted precise identification of individual specimens from collection through analyses or archiving. Analysis of atmosphere and soil samples spiked by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) reflected a degree of accuracy well within acceptable limits.
