EPA SW-846 / 8000 Series Methods for Monitoring Organic
Pollutants in Groundwater, Wastewater, and Solid Waste

The US Environmental Protection Agency has proposed and promulgated the analytical methods SW-846 (8000 Series
Methods) to identify and quantify organic compounds from the Appendix VIII and Appendix IX lists of pollutants in
groundwater, wastewater and solid waste at hazardous treatment, storage and disposal sites. The authority was derived
from the Resource Conversion and Recovery Act (RCRA), which was further extended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste
Act (HSWA). EPA 8000
The compounds analyzed by these methods include volatile organic compounds, pesticides, synthetic organic compounds,
and disinfection by-products. Method 1311 (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) is the protocol used to estimate the
toxicity of the waste materials under the leaching conditions in a landfill.
Chem Service provides standards for many of these methods. We continue to evaluate and formulate additional standards
as the original SW-846’s are updated. If your laboratory needs additional formulations to meet analyte requirements,
please contact us, since it may already be in-process. We will respond to your inquiry promptly.
