Air Testing Methods

  • NELAP Accreditation for EPA Method TO-15 "Canister Sampling and GC/MS Analysis of VOCs in Air".  RTP Labs is certified by the State of New Jersey's National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (laboratory ID # NC003).  We are one on the few labs in the country certified to perform the analysis of over 60 volatile organic compounds collected in canisters and analyzed at minimum detection levels of 0.5 parts per billion by volume in air.  The NELAP accreditation is accepted by States, Local Programs, EPA and other Federal Agencies, and complies with the ISO 17025 International Standards for testing labs.  All measurements must be NIST traceable and stringent QA/QC procedures are required to meet the highest level of data acceptance and documentation.

New Laboratory Services

  • Ozone Emission Tests from Air Cleaners.  Testing for Ozone (O3) is conducted in a test room according to UL Standard 867 for 24 hrs to determine if the maximum 50 ppbv concentration is exceeded.  ASTM Methods are also used for ozone testing that is more controlled and adaptable to testing removal efficiencies of micron size particles and odor causing chemicals.
  • Microorganism Removal Efficiency of Air Cleaners.  We recently conducted testing in our sealed environmental chamber for the removal efficiency of home air cleaners using laboratory prepared microorganism spores.
  • Siloxanes from Landfill Gases by GC/MS Using Sorbents.  Landfill gases can contain Siloxanes and form silicon dioxide in combustion engines used to convert methane to energy.  Sampling using a sorbet tube collects the Siloxanes and the GC/MS analysis of the samples can detect 8 different Siloxanes.  Using a 20 liter air sample, detection limits are 5-10 ppbv.
  • Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds in Indoor Air by GC/MS Ion Trap.  Air samples can now be collected in Summa canisters or on sorbent tubes, then analyzed in full scan and Selective Ion Storage modes during the same run.  Picogram levels of selected MVOCs and the ability to perform NIST/EPA Mass Spectral Library Searches for unknown compound identifications with one analysis makes this test method the most comprehensive available.  
  • Ion Trap MS technology detects parts per trillion levels for TO-14A/TO15 target compounds for risk assessment and odor testing in air and water.  Hazardous air pollutants and odor causing chemicals can now be detected at levels not previously obtainable with traditional quadrapole MS with full scan analysis.  New water headspace testing methods can identify odors caused by algae growth.
  • Pesticide Residues Sampling & Analysis by GC/ECD; GC/TSD; GC/MS.  Samples of air, soil, vegetation, and water are collected in homes, workplaces, streams, and farm runoff locations to determine environmental impact and human exposures.  This service supports governmental monitoring programs, litigation activities, and dietary supplement testing of medicinal herbs.  Purity assay and impurity identifications for EPA pesticide registration submittals.
