Historical Standard: Standard Test Method for Determination of Parent and Alkyl Polycyclic Aromatics in Sediment Pore Water Using Solid-Phase Microextraction and Gas Chromatography\/Mass Spectrometry in Selected Ion Monitoring Mode<\/h4>\n

ASTM D7363<\/h4>\n

Scope<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

1.1 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) narcosis model for benthic organisms in sediments contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is based on the concentrations of dissolved PAHs in the interstitial water or \u201cpore water\u201d in sediment. This test method covers the separation of pore water from PAH-impacted sediment samples, the removal of colloids, and the subsequent measurement of dissolved concentrations of the required 10 parent PAHs and 14 groups of alkylated daughter PAHs in the pore water samples. The \u201c24 PAHs\u201d are determined using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) followed by Gas Chromatography\/Mass Spectrometry (GC\/MS) analysis in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Isotopically labeled analogs of the target compounds are introduced prior to the extraction, and are used as quantification references.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.2 Lower molecular weight PAHs are more water soluble than higher molecular weight PAHs. Therefore, USEPA-regulated PAH concentrations in pore water samples vary widely due to differing saturation water solubilities that range from 0.2 \u00b5g\/L for indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene to 31\u2009000 \u00b5g\/L for naphthalene. This method can accommodate the measurement of microgram per litre concentrations for low molecular weight PAHs and nanogram per litre concentrations for high molecular weight PAHs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1.3 The USEPA narcosis model predicts toxicity to benthic organisms if the sum of the toxic units (\u03a3TUc<\/span><\/sub>) calculated for all \u201c34 PAHs\u201d measured in a pore water sample is greater than or equal to 1. For this reason, the performance limit required for the individual PAH measurements was defined as the concentration of an individual PAH that would yield 1<\/sup>\/34<\/sub> of a toxic unit (TU). However, the focus of this method is the 10 parent PAHs and 14 groups of alkylated PAHs (Table 1<\/span>) that contribute 95\u2009% of the toxic units based on the analysis of 120 background and impacted sediment pore water samples.3<\/sup><\/span> The primary reasons for eliminating the rest of the 5-6 ring parent PAHs are: (1)<\/span> these PAHs contribute insignificantly to the pore water TU, and (2)<\/span> these PAHs exhibit extremely low saturation solubilities that will make the detection of these compounds difficult in pore water. This method can achieve the required detection limits, which range from approximately 0.01 \u00b5g\/L, for high molecular weight PAHs, to approximately 3 \u00b5g\/L for low molecular weight PAHs.<\/p>\n

\n B<\/i><\/sup>\u2009Performance limits were determined as 3 times the background concentrations from the SPME fiber based on the analysis of water blanks (\u201cB\u201d), the lowest calibration standard which consistently yielded a signal to noise ratio of at least 3:1 (\u201cC\u201d), or (for when no calibration standard was available) for the lowest concentrations consistently found in pore water samples with a signal to noise ratio of at least 3:1 (\u201cS\u201d). Detection limits for alkyl PAHs are based on a single isomer.\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

1.4 The test method may also be applied to the determination of additional PAH compounds (for example, 5- and 6-ring PAHs as described in Hawthorne et al.).4<\/sup><\/span> However, it is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish the validity of the test method for the determination of PAHs other than those referenced in 1.1<\/span> and Table 1<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, refer to Section 9.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
