| Short description: |
This report was published by the
U.S. EPA Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation Program
(SITE). A demonstration of screening technologies for
determining the presence of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds in
soil and sediment was conducted in Saginaw, Michigan in 2004.
The objectives of the demonstration included evaluating each
participating technology's accuracy, precision, sensitivity,
sample throughput, tendency for matrix effects, and cost. The
test also included an assessment of how well the technology's
results compared to those generated by established laboratory
methods using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The
demonstration objectives were accomplished by evaluating the
results generated by each technology from 209 soil, sediment,
and extract samples. The test samples included performance
evaluation (PE) samples (i.e., contaminant concentrations were
certified or the samples were spiked with known contaminants)
and environmental samples collected from 10 different sampling
locations. The report describes the test plan, methodology and
results for the participating technologies
