EPA TO-15

EPA TO-15 has become the primary method for VOC analysis in ambient air, incoor air, and source samples. 

EPA TO-15 has replaced TO-14 because it can be used for more types of compounds.  The TO-14 list can be run on the TO-15 method.

Naphthalene:  Naphthalene has some special considerations for sampling and analysis.  Refer to the INFORMATION tab for write-up on naphthalene.

Target Lists and Detection Limits

The target lists and detection limits for the different methods can be found under SPECIFICATIONS

 

EPA TO-15 Volatile Organic Compounds

EAS offers many options for VOC analysis by TO-15, TO-15 SIM, TO-14, and TO-17.  Check into a combined TO-15 Full Scan and TO-15 SIM for projects that have a few compounds need low detection limits.
