Quality Control:

Samples analyzed in duplicate (method duplicates) are reported as the Mean andthe Relative Percent Difference (RPD) of the two analytical values. RoutineQuality Control (QC) performed includes preparation and analysis of auditmaterials; check standards; interference check samples (ICS--for ICP-AESonly); method blanks; method spikes; analytical spikes; method duplicates; andanalytical duplicates. Calibration standards for ICP-AES are prepared fromNIST stock solutions. Calibration standards for Furnace AAS are prepared fromBaker stock solutions. Method blanks are prepared with each analytical setand are acceptable if they are found to be below the quantification level forthe sample set. Audit materials are analyzed at the beginning of each run todocument proper instrument calibration. For ICP-AES the acceptable range is90-110% recovery; for other techniques it is the 95% confidence intervalgenerated using the True Values and algorithms from EMSL-Cincinnati. Checkstandards are analyzed periodically (generally a 1/10 frequency) throughoutthe run to document instrumental stability, and are acceptable at 90-110%.The ICS is obtained from EMSL-Las Vegas and is analyzed at the beginning ofeach ICP-AES run to document proper selection of analytical lines, backgroundcorrection factors, and interelement correction factors; it is acceptable at80-120% recovery. The remaining QC items are sample specific and areperformed at a frequency of 1/10 samples for sample sets >_ 10 and 1 per sampleset for sample sets

The "Nominal Quantitttion Limit" factor is an overall correction factor applied to the method's NQL's for analytical adjustments made during me analysis(i.e., for extractions of more or less man the ideal 30 grams for soil samples, for sample extracts not concentrated to 1.00 ml due to excessivefoaming/darkness of the extract, and for sample extract dilutions prior to analysis). For example, the typical NQL factor for a CRL soil sample is 1.5Therefore, the estimated Actual Quantitation Limit for Phenol would be 0.50 ing/Kg (i.e., 1.5 x .33 mg/Kg).

Analyst:

TID #: 03950504

Method t

The two (2) aqueous samples from the Koppers Co. Fac. Plant site were analyzedfor the presence of organic compounds listed as extractable Priority Pollutantsand CLP Hazardous Substances List Compounds. The samples were collected on May01, 1995. These samples were extracted by the continuous liquid/liquidextraction method on May 04, 1995 and were analyzed on May 23, 1995 followingSOP# R3-QA211.0. This SOP is a consolidated method derived from the SuperfundContract Laboratory Program Statement of Work and from RCRA methodology (SW-846) .Instrumentation utilized consisted of a Hewlett Packard (HP) 5970 MSD coupled toa HP 5890 Series II gas chromatograph equipped with an HP-7673A autosampler andSPB-5 30 meter capillary column. Concentrations of compounds were determinedusing the relative response of authentic standards to the closest internalstandard. These values have been reported in the RLIMS Final Report. Only thosecompounds for which results are reported were detected. Sample target compoundvalues outside the calibration range were labeled with a " J". This indicatesthat the mass spectrum obtained for the sample met the identification criteria,yet the quantity present was outside the range for which the instrument accurate-ly quantitates. All results qualified with a "J" are estimated quantities. TheNQLs (nominal quantitation limits) are the quantitation limits that have beendetermined for each parameter analyzed by this method. The actual quantitationlimit for a sample reflects the NQL as well as any dilution/concent rat ion factorspecific for each sample. The NQL for all compounds is 5 ug/L except for benzoicacid, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 4,6-.dinitro-2-methylphenol and pentachlorophenol whichhad an NQL of 10 ug/L. Sample extraction volume for all samples was 1 liter.

The samples were also examined for the presence of compounds in addition to thoseon the Target Compound list. Authentic standards were not available to verifythese tentatively identified compounds (TIC) results. Tentative identificationof these compounds was made by the comparison of sample spectra to the EPA/NBS54KMass Spectral Library. Concentrations for these compounds were estimated basedon the response of the closest internal standard and the assumption that theinstrument response for a given tentative compound was the same as the instrumentresponse for the internal standards. These identifications have been reportedas tentative identifications with the associated quantitation values reported asestimated .concentrations and qualified with a "T". The TICs in all sampleextracts have been corrected for any blank contamination. There were no TICsfound in these samples.

Quality Control:

Before acquisition of any sample data, the mass spectrometer is calibrated usingFC43. The calibration is verified by obtaining the spectrum of a known compound(DFTPP) . All mass assignments and relative abundances are found to be inacceptable ranges or the instrument is adjusted until an acceptable spectrum ofthe known is obtained.

Immediately before analysis, each sample is spiked with an internal standard mixobtained commercially containing D4-l,4-dichlorobenzene, D8-naphthalene,DIO-acenaphthene, DIO-phenanthrene, Dl2-chrysene and D12-perylene. Allquantitations or estimates of concentration are made in comparison to theinternal standard nearest to the compound of interest.

A R 3 G 8 J 2 3


A lower detection limit was requested for this sample set. This was achieved byraising the sensitivity of the instrument and including a 5 ng/ul standard as apart of the calibration curve.

Quantitation was based on the 50 ng/ul standard. The initial calibrationconsisted of a five (5) point calibration (5, 10, 20, 50 and 80 ng/ul) except forbenzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 4, 6-dinitro-2-methylphenol andpentachlorophenolwhich had a four (4) point calibration (10, 20, 50 and 80 ng/ul). The percentrelative standard deviation (%RSD) for all compounds in the initial calibrationof the instrument on May 23, 1995 was below thirty (30) percent.

For each group of samples extracted, a method blank is prepared and examined forlaboratory introduced contamination. Only target compounds in the samples withvalues less than or equal to ten times (

Method;

Three (3) samples from Koppers Co. Fac. Plant (OU2) were analyzed for thepresence of volatile organic compounds amenable to purge and trap andidentifiable by mass spectrometry. Samples were collected on May l, 1995 andanalyzed on May 8 & 10, 1995 following SOP #R3-QA210. This SOP is derived fromthe Superfund Contract Laboratory Program Statement of Work and from RCRAmethodology (SW 846). Instrumentation consisted of a purge and trap apparatus{Tekmar ALS 2016/LSC 2000) interfaced to a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer(HP 5890/HP 5970) equipped with a fused silica capillary column (VOCOL 105m x0.53mm ID x 3.0um film thickness). Concentrations of compounds were determinedusing the relative response of authentic standards to the closest internalstandard. Only detected results are reported. Sample target compound valuesoutside the calibration range were labeled with a " J" . This indicates that themass spectrum obtained for the sample met the identification criteria, yet thequantity present was outside the level for which the instrument accuratelyquantitates. All results qualified with a "J" are estimated quantities. TheNQLs (nominal quantitation limits) are the quantitation limits that have beendetermined for each parameter analyzed by this method. The actual quantitationlimit is the NQL multiplied by a factor specific for each sample. The NQL factoris equal to 1 for each sample.

The samples were also examined for the presence of compounds in addition to thoseon the Target Compound list. Authentic standards were not available to verifythese tentatively identified compounds (TICs) . Tentative identification of thesecompounds was made on the comparison of sample spectra to the EPA/NBS54K MassSpectral Library. Concentrations for these compounds were estimated based on.theresponse of the closest internal standard and the assumption that the instrumentresponse for a given tentative compound was the same as the instrument responsefor the internal standards. These identifications have been reported astentative identifications with the associated quantitation values reported asestimated concentrations and qualified with a "T" . There were no TICs found fromthis.site.

Quality Control:

Before acquisition of any sample data, the mass spectrometer is calibrated usingFC43. The calibration is verified by obtaining the spectrum of a known compound(BFB) . All mass assignments and relative abundances are found to be inacceptable ranges or the instrument is adjusted until an acceptable spectrum ofthe known is obtained. All samples for this site were analyzed within the twelvehour BFB time criteria.

Immediately before analysis, each sample is spiked with internal standardsobtained commercially. All quantitations or estimates of concentrations are madein comparison to the internal standard nearest to the compound of interest.

A lower detection limit (1.0 ug/L) was requested for the low concentration methodanalysis of these samples. In order to achieve this detection limit, thefollowing modifications to the above method were implemented: 1) twenty-five(25) milliliters of sample were purged, 2) the initial calibration curve wasanalyzed at 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0 and 40.0 ug/L and 3) the daily calibration

AR3G8I25


check standard was analyzed at a concentration of 10.0 ug/L. The NQL for acetoneand 2-chloroethylvinylether was 5.0 ug/L; the lower detection limit was achievedfor all other compounds.

For each day of sample analysis, a method blank (lab reagent blank - LRB) wasprepared and examined for laboratory introduced contamination. All compoundswhich were found in both a LRB, or trip blank and a sample were qualified "B" ifthe concentration of the compound in the sample was less than ten times (
