EPA 1600 Series Methods for Wastewater Pollutants

The 1600 Series Methods are test procedures developed by EPA’s Engineering and Analysis Division (EAD) (formerly the
Industrial Technology Division and the Effluent Guidelines Division) within the EPA’s Office of Science and Technology. The
EPA promulgates effluent limitation guidelines and standards for the Pesticide Chemical Industry, under the authority derived
from 40 CFR Part 455, to control the discharge of pollutants, including certain pesticide active ingredients, into the waters of
the United States. EPA 1600

The 1600-Series Pesticide Methods, written by the EAD, were developed to measure active hazardous ingredients in support
of the pesticides rulemaking, and have therefore been applied to the specific wastewater for which they were intended.
