Emerging contaminants• ECs are widely used, synthetic or organic
compounds, measured in <μg/L concentrations, and not traditionally
2009 <ppt
tested for in water quality assessments• Measuring emerging contaminants is an
area of active environmental research. • Driven by improvements in analytical
methods– At the sub pg/L levels!pgIn the area of PPCPs there are several methods addressing these analytes including EPA Method 1694.

Status of EPA Method 1694“Today’s Talk”
1. The EPA Method 1694 is demonstrated with the Agilent QQQmodel 6410 and will discuss 6460 at end.
Th A il t t l f EPA th d 6 i t f 6 l t2. The Agilent protocol for EPA method 1694 consists of 65 analytes(of 75 total analytes) and 17 labeled internal standards (of 20total), which are a mixture of pharmaceuticals and personal careproducts that are analyzed each by a single MRM transition.p y y g
3. The method also uses Agilent columns, C‐18 and HILIC.

To provide additional confirmation for the EPA method a second MRM transition was added for 60 of the 65 analytes analyzed. This gives an even greater assurance of correct analysis than prescribed by EPAassurance of correct analysis than prescribed by EPA.
