Designation:D831020Standard Test Method forAnalysis of Target Phenols(TPs)in Soil by MultipleReaction Monitoring Liquid Chromatography/MassSpectrometry(LC/MS/MS)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8310;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 test method covers analysis of nonylphenol(NP),nonylphenol monoethoxylate(NP1EO),nonylphenol diethoxy-late(NP2EO),octylphenol(OP),and bisphenol A(BPA),referred to collectively as target phenols(TPs),in soil,sediments,and biosolids by extraction with acetone,filtration,dilution with water,and analysis by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.The sample extracts are prepared ina solution of 75%acetone and 25%water because TPs havean affinity for surfaces and particles that is more pronounced atlower concentrations.The range of applicability of the testmethod is shown in Table 1.The method may be extendedoutside of these ranges depending on additional performancestudies not undertaken here.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in SI units are to be regardedas the standard.No other units of measurement are included inthis standard.1.3 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.1.4 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:2D1193 Specification for Reagent WaterD7858 Test Method for Determination of Bisphenol A inSoil,Sludge,and Biosolids by Pressurized Fluid Extrac-tion and Analyzed by Liquid Chromatography/TandemMass Spectrometry2.2 Federal Standards:329 CFR Part 1910 Occupational Safety and Health Standards40 CFR Part 136,Appendix B Definition and Procedure forthe Determination of the Method Detection LimitRevision 1.113.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 batch quality control,nall the quality control(QC)samples and standards included in an analytical procedure.3.1.2 bisphenol A,BPAdefined in Test Method D7858.3.1.3 bisphenol A(propane-D6),BPA-D6defined in TestMethod D7858.3.1.4 2-bromo-4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol,Br-OP,nused in this test method as a surrogate.3.1.4.1 Discussion2-bromo-4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenol is not produced commercially and is not expected to befound in the environment.It was reported that compounds inhighly chlorinated,bromide-rich wastewaters could potentiallyinterfere with the Br-OP surrogate.If this interference isencountered,n-nonylphenol is suggested as an alternativesurrogate.3.1.5 nonylphenol,NP,nmixtureofbranchedp-nonylphenol isomers.3.1.5.1 DiscussionCommercial NP is produced by thereaction of phenol with commercial nonene.Commercialnonene is not simply a linear C9H18alpha olefin;it is acomplex mixture of predominantly nine-carbon olefins,calledpropylene trimer,containing no linear isomers.This synthesisresults in a mixture of various branched nonylphenol isomersrather than a discrete chemical structure.The branched nonylgroup is positioned predominantly in the para position on thephenol ring.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 Feb.1,2020.Published February 2020.DOI:10.1520/D8310-20.2For 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.3Available from U.S.Government Printing Office,Superintendent ofDocuments,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Washington,DC 20401-0001,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.3.1.6 nonylphenol diethoxylate,NP2EO,nbranched non-ylphenol diethoxylate.3.1.7 nonylphenol monoethoxylate,NP1EO,nbranchednonylphenol monoethoxylate.3.1.8 normal nonylphenol,n-NP,nnormal straight chainnonylphenol.3.1.8.1 Discussionn-NP is used in th
