EPA Methods
The HRMS Services Group performs USEPA methods in support of compliance monitoring,
environmental remediation, risk assessments and other environmental monitoring activities.
The following table summarizes typical standard methods and matrices. ALTA maintains an
extensive list of state certifications covering
these methods.
Dioxin/Furan Analytical Methods Using HRMS
| Method | Sample Matrix |
| USEPA 1613 | S,E,Sl,T,W |
| USEPA 8290 | P,Sl,E,S,T,W,Fo,Sb |
| USEPA 8280 | S,W,Fa,Fo,Sb |
| USEPA 613 | W |
| USEPA 513 | W |
Sample Matrix key:
E = Effluent S = Soil
Fa = Fly Ash Sb = Still Bottom
Fo = Fuel Oils Sl = Sludge
P = Pulp/paper T = Tissue
W = Water
