The article focuses on a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer against Environmental Protection Agency for withholding records detailing the levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC) found in paints and coatings manufactured in or imported into the state. The lawsuit stems from a...
The Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) of Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states is seeking federal and state action to limit emissions from municipal waste combustors, while also calling for EPA to revise “grossly outdated” control techniques guidelines (CTGs) that limit volatile organic compounds (VO...
EPA Method 24: Determination of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) content in Paints, Inks, and Related Coating Products What is EPA Method 24 testing? EPA method 24 is the only method currently accepted by EPA and U.S. state/local regulatory bodies for the measurement of volatile organic compoun...
“Violation of daily and yearly emission limits are significant violations and are easily prevented through proper oversight of operations. This penalty is appropriate, given the potential impacts associated with an exceedance of emission limits,” said Jim Miller, director of DEP’s Northwest Regional ...
The proposal threatens to disregard “legally and practically enforceable” state emission limits that keep emissions from many storage vessels below the 6 tpy threshold. The proposal does this by proposing a definition for “legally and practically enforceable” that could be more stringent than the ...
some users have been multiplying the cancer PRG concentrations by 10 or 100 to set "action levels" for triggering remediation or to set less stringent cleanup levels for a specific site after considering non-risk-based factors such as ambient levels, detection limits, or technological feasibility....
Note 2: ?VOD and ?VOC are the changes in VOD and VOC, respectively, when the DI input changes state. Note 3: The SRL pin is internally biased to VCC / 2 by a 100k?/100k? resistor-divider. It is guaranteed to be VCC / 2 if left unconnected. Note 4: Maximum current level ...

• Detection Limits. It is very critical to state the levels of detection (LOD) for a particular program. The LOD can be very difficult to quantify until the ORS is actually in the field of operation. It should also be noted that LODs can be defined in different ways. It is best to...
This procedure leaves residual VOC in the trap due to the formation of high boiling compounds during the heating step. This material must be removed by heating the traps to higher temperatures. Quantitative measurement of these residuals and their effects on blank levels and the limit of detection...
