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
