Best Practices for Collecting Soil Samples for VOC Analysis

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR:
When it comes to getting accurate and reliable data on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil samples, collecting and preserving the samples correctly is the most important step in the process – the data are only as good as the samples you get. This webinar will take you through the options for soil sample collection and provide recommendations for getting consistent and usable data.

The options for soil sampling in US EPA Method 5035A will be reviewed and discussed, including the advantages and disadvantages of doing field preservation using methanol and sodium bisulfurate. The EPA-listed En Core® Sampler and its “no preservative technology will be compared to methanol preservation methods, along with demonstrations of how both are employed.

Tools that can help you collect the right amount of soil for methanol preserved samples, the Terra Core® soil core samplers will also be covered in this webinar. We’ll also give a first look at the latest tool for soil core sampling, the new Combo Core™ sampling from En Novative/QED, designed to collect both 5 gram and 10 gram core samples for field preservation using a single tool.

PRESENTATION TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

  • Comparison of soil sampling methods – bulk sampling, field preservation and non-preserved samplers
  • Why methanol/sodium bisulfate preservation isn’t used everywhere
  • The effect of soil moisture and holding times on VOC concentrations in samples
  • Quality control considerations in the manufacturing of non-preserved samplers

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Environmental Specialists and Managers
  • Geotechnical and Environmental Drillers
  • Sampling Technicians
  • Engineers
  • Regulatory Program Managers
