Designation:D785813(Reapproved 2018)Standard Test Method forDetermination of Bisphenol A in Soil,Sludge,and Biosolidsby Pressurized Fluid Extraction and Analyzed by LiquidChromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7858;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This procedure covers the determination of Bisphenol A(BPA)in soil,sludge,and biosolids.This test method is basedupon solvent extraction of a soil matrix by pressurized fluidextraction(PFE).The extract is filtered and analyzed by liquidchromatography/tandem mass spectrometry(LC/MS/MS).BPA is qualitatively and quantitatively determined by this testmethod.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 The method detection limit(MDL),2electrospray ion-ization(ESI)mode,and reporting range3for BPA are listed inTable 1.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:4D653 Terminology Relating to Soil,Rock,and ContainedFluidsD1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD3694 Practices for Preparation of Sample Containers andfor Preservation of Organic ConstituentsD3740 Practice for Minimum Requirements for AgenciesEngaged in Testing and/or Inspection of Soil and Rock asUsed in Engineering Design and ConstructionD3856 Guide for Management Systems in LaboratoriesEngaged in Analysis of WaterD5681 Terminology for Waste and Waste ManagementE2554 Practice for Estimating and Monitoring the Uncer-tainty of Test Results of a Test Method Using ControlChart Techniques2.2 Other Documents:EPA SW-846 Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,Physical/Chemical Methods540 CFR Part 136,Appendix B Definition and Procedure forthe Determination of the Method Detection Limit63.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Bisphenol A(BPA),n2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)pro-pane.3.1.2 Bisphenol A(propane-D6)(BPA-D6),ndeuteriumlabeled Bisphenol A where the two methyl moieties contain all2H and is used as a surrogate in this method.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D34 on WasteManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D34.01.06 onAnalytical Methods.Current edition approved Sept.1,2018.Published September 2018.Originallyapproved in 2013.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D7858 13.DOI:10.1520/D7858-13R18.2The MDL is determined following the Code of Federal Regulations,40 CFRPart 136,Appendix B utilizing solvent extraction of soil by PFE.A 10-g sample ofOttawa sand was utilized.A detailed process determining the MDL is explained inthe reference and is beyond the scope of this test method to be explained here.3Reporting range concentration is calculated from Table 4 concentrationsassuming a 25-L injection of the Level 1 calibration standard for BPA,and thehighest level calibration standard with a 5-mL final extract volume of a 10-g soilsample.Volume variations will change the reporting limit and ranges.4For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.5Available from United States Environmental ProtectionAgency(EPA),WilliamJefferson Clinton Bldg.,1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,NW,Washington,DC 20460,http:/www.epa.gov.6Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 3.1.3 filter unit,nin this test method,a filter that issupported with a housing that is inert to the solvents used asdescribed in 7.4 of this test method.3.1.4 filtration device,na device used to remove particlesfrom the e
