About This Item
ASTM D5175 is the ASTM standard that addresses the determination of organohalide pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in water using microextraction and gas chromatography. It is relevant for laboratories that need a recognized test method for targeted analysis of these contaminants in aqueous samples. By defining a consistent analytical approach, this standard supports more reliable results, better comparability between laboratories, and stronger confidence in environmental testing and compliance work.
ASTM D5175 standard overview
The official title, Standard Test Method for Organohalide Pesticides and Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Water by Microextraction and Gas Chromatography, indicates a focused analytical procedure for water samples. The method combines microextraction with gas chromatography to measure specific pesticide and PCB constituents commonly tracked in environmental monitoring. ASTM D5175 serves as a technical reference for laboratories seeking a standardized way to prepare, analyze, and report results for these target compounds.
Where is ASTM D5175 used?
This standard is commonly used in water testing environments where organohalide pesticides or polychlorinated biphenyls may need to be identified or quantified. It is most relevant to analytical laboratories, environmental monitoring programs, and quality control workflows that handle water samples. The method also fits procurement and compliance settings where a defined ASTM standard is needed to support consistent testing practices and comparable analytical outcomes.
Practical importance of ASTM D5175
ASTM D5175 matters because it gives organizations a recognized framework for testing contaminants in water with greater consistency. Using a standard method can help reduce variation in sample preparation and instrumental analysis, which is important for quality control and data confidence. It also supports regulatory or contractual testing requirements by providing a common technical basis for reporting results. For labs and buyers, that can improve traceability and reduce ambiguity in evaluation.
