EPA Releases PFAS Air Emissions Test Method Ahead Of Disposal Guide
EPA has released a much-anticipated test method to measure volatile, nonpolar fluorinated compounds, such as PFAS, in air emissions, including compounds that are products of incomplete combustion or incomplete destruction, a method that could help implement the pending update to EPA’s PFAS destruction and disposal guidance, which is undergoing White House review. The agency last week quietly posted the new draft test method, known as “Other Test Method 50 (OTM-50): Sampling and Analysis of Volatile Fluorinated Compounds from Stationary Sources Using Passivated Stainless-Steel Canisters.”
