The 23rd Annual International Conference on Contaminated Soils, Sediments and Water, 15-18 October 2007, University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Northeast Regional Environmental Health Center, Univ. of Massachusetts, Amherst. Abstracts, 2007 Commercial laboratories commonly analyze for 1,4-dioxane (CAS 123-91-1) in groundwater by either EPA Method 8260 or 8270, though 1,4-dioxane is not listed for the latter method. Method 8260 generally does not achieve reporting limits that meet regulatory concentrations. Determination of 1,4-dioxane in water at low detection levels also can be accomplished using a modified approach to Method 8270 with isotope dilution. Because of time and sample volume concerns, many laboratories have begun analyzing for 1,4-dioxane using a modified Method 8260 with specific ion monitoring (SIM) GC-MS to improve the detection limits. During recent characterization sampling at a central Florida site in groundwater affected by chlorinated volatile organic compounds and 1,4-dioxane, split samples of groundwater were collected and analyzed by both Method 8270 and 8260 SIM. The difference in reported concentrations of 1,4-dioxane by the two methods was significant, sometimes by orders of magnitude.

It was only a few short years ago that my duties as a College instructor took several hours of my life each day. This was long enough in the past, that some of my grandchildren have no knowledge about it. Grandma said I ought to write an autobiography so our children and grandchildren would know more about us. Our children have inherited, for better or worse, many of our physical characteristics. Our grandchildren have received one-half of these characteristics from us.
