| BSI | 2000 | 10 |
This British Standard describes a method for determining the concentration of coal tar-derived phenols, namely catechol, resorcinol, phenol, cresols (ortho-, meta-, para-), xylenols (2,3; 2,4; 2,5; 2,6; 3,4 and 3,5); 2-isopropylphenol, 1-naphthol and 2,3,5 trimethylphenol. It is applicable to all types of soil containing concentrations of phenols in the approximate range 0.02 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg soil. Some performance characteristics of the method are summarized in annex A.
The method is not applicable to the determination of halogenated phenols. The range can be extended by suitable dilution of the extracts as required.
