TI  - Optimized gel permeation chromatographic cleanup for soil, sediment, wastes, and 
      oily waste extracts for determination of semivolatile organic pollutants and 
      PCBs.
PG  - 752-9
AB  - A gel permeation chromatographic (GPC) method, used by the U.S. Environmental 
      Protection Agency (USEPA), was modified for cleanup of soil, sediments, wastes, 
      and oily wastes before determination of semivolatile organic pollutants. The 
      modifications included new calibration procedures and control of the amount of 
      material processed. The modifications were evaluated for soil and sediment 
      matrixes in a 5-laboratory study where each laboratory processed a solution 
      containing a phthalate, substituted phenols and benzenes, polycyclic aromatic 
      hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), nitroaniline, and 
      pesticides. With the exception of nitroaniline, analyte recoveries were 87-112%, 
      with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 6.7-26%. Soil samples containing PCBs 
      and fortified with 6 pesticides at 0.7-4 micrograms/g were also analyzed by the 5 
      laboratories. The mean recovery of the 6 pesticides was 100% with a mean RSD of 
      16%. Mean RSD for the determination of total PCBs was 8.9%. An additional 
      modification for the processing of wastes and high concentration waste samples 
      was attempted; this involved GPC processing of sample extracts dissolved in 1 + 1 
      butyl chloride-methylene chloride. This modification did not improve recoveries 
      of the semivolatile analytes. Finally, the modified GPC protocol was applied to 
      PCB-contaminated reclaimed waste oils samples. Two GPC cleanup steps were used to 
      separate PCBs from the waste oil samples before PCBs were determined by gas 
      chromatography combined with electron-capture detection (GC/ECD).
