As environmental regulations and testing requirements continue to evolve, we remain committed to providing comprehensive solutions that help you stay ahead. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a group of synthetic organic chemicals, pose significant health and environmental risks. To better support your projects, we’ve expanded our PCB testing capabilities to include extraction using the Soxhlet method, coupled with analysis under EPA Method 8082.
In line with BASMAA guidance addressing PCB-impacted building demolition projects, we are actively supporting new guidelines to ensure safe and compliant abatement processes. Soxhlet extraction (EPA 3540C) is now the preferred method for PCB 8082 analysis in building materials, providing a reliable approach to mitigating contamination risks.
Many EPA regions are now advocating for this method for projects falling under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as they regulate PCBs at levels ≥ 50 ppm and < 50 ppm. With our expanded testing capabilities, you can confidently meet these regulatory standards, avoid environmental contamination, and make informed decisions for your projects.
Our global network of expert testing services ensures you have access to the latest tools and insights when navigating these complex environmental challenges. Connect with our team today to learn more about Soxhlet EPA 3540C and how our solutions can support your upcoming projects.
