INTRODUCTION PROCEDURE SAMPLE RESULTS Calibration Compounds ...... Table I Analyses...... Table II Landfill Analyses ...... Table III INTRODUCTION

On the dates of January 6-9, 1986, the Sciex TAGA 6000E unit was mobilized to monitor the air in and around the Industrial Excess Superfund Waste Site in Uniontown, Ohio. Air bag samples were taken from vents located within the landfill and direct air analyses were done within surrounding the landfill to check for the presence of any volatile organic compounds within the mass range of 60-250 amu. The operation of the TAGA 6000E unit was performed by personnel from Enviresponse, Inc.

PROCEDURE

The following standard operating procedure was employed each day with respect to the operation of the Sciex TAGA 6000E unit: - While introducing trichloroethene (TCE) into the system at a constant rate, the source pressure was initially set to give a maximum response from the 130,132 parent ions of this compound. This was done because the pressure at which TCE optimizes represents an intermediate source ionization condition which gives a good response for a broad range of commonly encountered organic compounds. - Peak shapes, resolution, and ion transmissions were then optimized by adjusting ion energies via lens and quadrupole voltages over a mass range of 60-250 amu. - Mass axis calibrations were then done over the mass range of 60-250 amu to ensure that all peaks were correctly assigned to their proper atomic mass units. - Concentration calibrations were then performed for individual compounds in order to obtain a calibration constant (ion counts/ppb) which was subsequently used to quantify a trace component in an air sample. This was done by first allowing a drop of the analyte to equilibrate within a 5 ml syringe and then introducing the vapors into the TAGA air sampling line at a known rate by using a syringe drive unit flushed with zero grade air in the region of the syringe needle. - The vapors are typically injected at 0.1 to 0.3 ml/min. into the TAGA air sampling line, which flows at approximately 1.5 L/min., resulting in the proper range of dilutions. By knowing the analyte's vapor pressure, temperature, injection rate, and the air sampling flow rate, the calibration constant (ion counts/ppb) can then be calculated for each syringe drive used. - After all compounds of interest were calibrated, actual samples (air bags from the landfill iteself and direct air sampling from homes surrounding the landfill) were run. Typically, a qualitative scan was first run to identify any organic compounds present within the mass range of 60-250 amu. (Note: this excludes methane, other low molecular weight hydrocarbons, and most other compounds with a mass of less than 60 amu). Next, a quantitative scan was run to determine the concentrations of the compounds present using the calibration constants previously obtained.
