Designation:D785813Standard 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 BisphenolA(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 Limit2(MDL),electrosprayionization(ESI)mode,and Reporting Range3for BPA arelisted in Table 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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.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 Publication SW-846 Test Methods for Evaluating SolidWaste,Physical/Chemical Methods5The Code of Federal Regulations 40 CFR Part 136,Appen-dix B63.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.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 extract that may clog the liquid chromatographysystem as described in 7.4 of this test method.3.1.5 glass fiber filter,na porous glass fiber material ontowhich solid particles present in the extraction fluid,whichflows through it,are largely caught and retained,thus removingthem from the extract.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 April 1,2013.Published May 2013.DOI:10.1520/D7858-13.2The MDL is determined following the Code of Federal Regulations,40 CFRPart 136,Appendix B utilizing solvent extraction of soil by PFE.10 gram sampleof Ottawa Sand was utilized.A detailed process determining the MDL is explainedin the 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 gram 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 National Technical Information Service(NTIS),U.S.Depart-ment of Commerce,5285 Port Royal Road,Springfield,VA,22161 or at http:/www.epa.gov/epawaste/hazard/testmethods/index.htm6Available 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 States1 3.1.6 hypodermic syringe,nin this test method,a luer-lock-tipped glass syringe capable of holding a syringe-drivenfilter unit as described in 7.4 of this test method.3.1.7 pressurized fluid extraction,nthe process of trans-ferring the analytes of interest from the solid matrix,a soil,intothe extraction solvent using pressure and elevated temperature.3.1.8 reporting range,nthe quantitative concentrationrange for an analyte in this test method.3.2 Abbre
