Abstract: 6010 A. General Discussion
The methods presented in Part 6000 are intended for the determination of individual organic compounds. Methods for the determination of aggregate concentrations of groups of organic compounds are presented in Part 5000.
Most of the methods presented herein are highly sophisticated instrumental methods for determining very low concentrations of the organic constituents. Stringent quality control requirements are provided with each method and require careful attention.
Many compounds are determinable by 2 or more of the methods presented in Part 6000. Table 6010:1 shows the specific analytical methods applicable to each compound. Guidance on method selection is provided in the introduction to each section.
