ASTM D5175-91(2011) - 1.5.2011
 
Significance and Use

The extensive and widespread use of organochlorine pesticides and PCBs has resulted in their presence in all parts of the environment. These compounds are persistent and may have adverse effects on the environment. Thus, there is a need to identify and quantitate these compounds in water samples.

 
1. Scope
