ISO 15009:2002

Soil quality — Gas chromatographic determination of the content of volatile aromatic hydrocarbons, naphthalene and volatile halogenated hydrocarbons — Purge-and-trap method with thermal desorption

Scope

ISO 15009:2002 specifies a method for quantitative gas-chromatographic determination of volatile hydrocarbons, naphthalene and volatile halogenated hydrocarbons in soil.
ISO 15009:2002 is applicable to all types of soil.
Under the conditions specified in ISO 15009:2002, the following limits of determinations apply (expressed on basis of dry matter):
volatile hydrocarbons and naphthalene: 0,1 mg/kg;volatile halogenated hydrocarbons: 0,01 mg/kg.
The lower limit of determination is dependent on the equipment used and the quality of the methanol grade used for the extraction of the soil sample.
