Full Description

1.1This procedure covers the determination of Bisphenol A (BPA) in soil, sludge, and biosolids. This test method is based upon solvent extraction of a soil matrix by pressurized fluid extraction (PFE). The extract is filtered and analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). BPA is qualitatively and quantitatively determined by this test method.

1.2Units-The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3The Method Detection Limit² (MDL), electrospray ionization (ESI) mode, and Reporting Range³ for BPA are listed in Table 1.

TABLE 1 Method Detection Limit and Reporting Range

Analyte	ESI Mode	MDL (PPB)	Reporting Range (PPB)
Bisphenol A	Negative	2.8	10-250
