EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency's
Office
of
Toxic
Substances
(
EPA/
OTS)
maintains
a
unique
program
for
monitoring
human
exposure
to
potentially
toxic
substances.
The
National
Human
Adipose
Tissue
Survey
(
NHATS)
is
a
statistically
designed
annual
program
to
collect
and
analyze
a
nationwide
sample
of
adipose
tissue
specimens
for
toxic
compounds.
The
primary
focus
for
NHATS
has
been
to
document
trends
in
human
exposure
to
environmentally
persistent
contaminants,
specifically
organochlorine
pesticides
and
polychlorinated
biphenyls
(
PCBs).

EPA/
OTS
has
recognized
the
need
to
provide
a
more
comprehensive
assessment
of
the
toxic
substances
that
accumulate
in
adipose
tissue.
Thus,
the
NHATS
specimens
collected
during
fiscal
year
1982
(
FY82)
were
designated
for
"
broad
scan
analysis''
to
determine
volatile
and
semivolatile
organic
compounds
and
trace
elements.

This
volume
of
the
final
report
deals
specifically
with
the
measurement
of
volatile
organic
chemicals
in
composited
adipose
tissue
specimens
from
the
FY82
NHATS
repository.
The
objectives
of
this
part
of
the
study
were
(
1)
to
develop
an
analytical
method
based
on
high
resolution
gas
chromatography/
mass
spectrometry
(
HRGC/
MS)
for
determination
of
volatile
organic
chemicals
in
human
adipose
tissue
and
(
2)
to
complete
the
analysis
of
the
FY82
NHATS
specimens
as
composited
for
volatile
organic
compounds.

The
analytical
method
developed
to
sample
volatile
organic
compounds
from
human
adipose
tissue
is
based
on
a
heated
dynamic
headspace
purge
and
trap
technique.
The
volatile
organic
compounds
were
separated
and
detected
using
HRGC/
MS.
HRGC
was
selected
to
achieve
the
best
possible
separation
of
volatile
components,
and
MS
was
selected
to
provide
the
necessary
specificity
to
identify
positively
the
volatile
compounds
present
in
the
tissue.
Target
analytes
were
quantitated
based
on
a
multiple
internal
standard
technique.
The
method
evaluation
studies
and
daily
quality
control
checks
demonstrated
'
that
method
accuracy
was
improved
for
analytes
which
had
a
corresponding
deuterated
analog
as
an
internal
quantitation
standard.

Forty­
six
composite
samples
were
prepared
from
the
FY82
NHATS
repository
according
to
a
study
design
prepared
by
the
EPA/
OTS
Design
and
Development
Branch
contractor,
Battelle
Columbus
Laboratories.
The
composite
samples
represent
the

S.
cen~
usdivisions,
stratified
by
three
age
groups
(

The
HRGC/
MS
analysis
of
the
volatile
compounds
purged
from
the
human
adipose
demonstrated
a
complex
mixture
of
compounds
consisting
primarily
of

were
detected
as
minor
constituents.

Quantitative
efforts
focused
on
target
analytes
classified
as
priority
pollutants.
Quantitative
data
are
reported
for
17
specific

I.
INTRODUCTION
The
National
Human
Adipose
Tissue
Survey
(
NHATS)
is
the
main
operative
program
of
the
National
Human
Monitoring
Program.
The
National
Human
Monitoring
Program
was
first
established
by
the
U.
S.
Public
Health
Service
in
1967
and
was
subsequently
transferred
to
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
in
1970.
During
1979
the
program
was
transferred
within
EPA
to
the
Exposure
Evaluation
Division
(
EED)
of
the
Office
of
Toxic
Substances
(
OTS).

NHATS
is
an
annual
program
to
collect
a
nationwide
sample
of
adipose
tissue
specimens
and
to
chemically
analyze
them
for
the
presence
of
toxic
compounds.
The
objective
of
the
NHATS
program
is
to
detect
and
quantify
the
prevalences
of
the
compounds
in
the
general
population.
The
NHATS
data
are
used
to
address
part
of
OTS's
mandate
under
the
Toxic
Substances
Control
Act
(
TSCA)
to
assess
chemical
risk
to
the
U.
S.
population.
The
specimens
are
collected
from
autopsied
cadavers
and
surgical
patients
according
to
a
statistical
survey
design
(
Lucas,
Pierson,
Meyers,
Handy
1981).
The
survey
design
ensures
that
specified
geographical
regions
and
demographic
categories
are
appropriately
represented
to
permit
valid
and
precise
estimates
of
baseline
'
levels,
time
trends,
and
comparisons
across
subpopulations.

The
data
for
the
NHATS
are
generated
by
collecting
and
chemically
anafyzing
adipose
tissue
specimens
for
selected
toxic
substances.
Historically
organochlorines
and
polychlorinated
biphenyls
(
PCBs)
have
been
selected
for
evaluation.

A.
Broad
Scan
Analysis
Strategy
*

EPA/
OTS
has
recognized
the
need
to­
provide
a
more
comprehensive
assessment
of
the
toxic
substances
that
accumulate
in
adipose
tissue.
An
aggressive
strategy
to
assess
TSCA­
related
substances
that
persist
in
the
adipose
tissue
of
the
general
U.
S.
population
has
been
developed
by
 ED.
The
NHATS
specimens
col7ected
during
fiscal
year
1982
(
FY82)
were
selected
for
a
broad
scan
analysis
of
volatile
and
semivolatile
organic
TSCA­
related
chemicals
and
trace
'
elements
(
Mack,
Stanley
1984).

The
initiative
to
achieve
a
more
comprehensive
assessment
necessitated
either
the
development
of
new
methods
or
the
modification
of
the
existing
analytical
procedures,
specifically
high
resolution
gas
chromatography/
mass
spectrometry
(
HRGUMS).
Data
on
organochlorine
pesticides
and
PCBs
reported
for
the
NHATS
specimens.
up
to
the
FY82
collection
are
based
on
packed
column
gas
chromatography/
electron
capture
detector
(
PGC/
ECD)
analysis.

Work
Assignment
Objectives
The
objectives
of
this
phase
of
the
work
assignment
were
(
1)
to
identify
appropriate
analytical
methods
for
a
broad
scan
analysis
of
volatile
organic
compounds
in
human
adipose
tissue
based
on
HRGC/
MS
detection;
(
2)
to
conduct
preliminary
evaluation
of
the
analytical
procedures,
and
(
3)
to
complete
the
sample
workup
and
HRGC/
MS
analysis
of
46
composite
samples
prepared
from
the
NHATS
specimens
collected
during
FY82.
The
target

by
the
HRGC/

in
the
current
NHATS
strategy
(
Mack,

C.
Background
Information
The
exposure
of
the
general
U.
S.
population
to
volatile
organic
compounds
has
not
previously
been
addressed
through
a
national
sampling
of
b.
iologica1
matrices
(
breath,
blood
or
tissue).
Specific
studies
have
been
conducted,
however,
to
determine
the
effects
of
exposure
to
chemical
solvents,
monomers
such
as
vinyl
chloride
and
styrene
in
the
plastics
industry,
and
anesthetics
(
Wolff
1976;
Wolff,.
Loumer,
Selikoff,
Aubrey
1977;
Engstrom,
Riihimaki
1979;
Engstrom
1984).

The
fact
that
blood
and
breath
levels
of
volatile
organics
can
be
detected
at
declining
levels
from
several
hours
to
several
days
after
a
specific
exposure
incident
indicate
tissue
retention
(
Whitcher,
Cohen,
Trudell
1971;
Corbett
1973;
Wolff
1976).
Human
adipose
tissue
has
been
evaluated
as
a
depot
for
storage
and
release
of
volatiles
in
specific
exposure
studies
of
workers
to
styrene
and
ethylbenzene
in
the
polymerization
industry
(
Wolff
1976;
Wolff,
Daum,
loumer,
Selikoff,
Aubrey
1977;
Engstrom
1984).

Several
analytical
procedures
have
been
developed
for
the
measurement
of
specifjc
compounds
from
these
exposure
scenarios,
Analytical
techniques
have
required
dissolution
of
milligram
quantities
of
adipose
into
carbon
disulfide,
or
other
suitable
solvent,
followed
by
direct
injection
onto
gas
chromatographic
(
GC)~
columnswith
flame
ionization/
electron
capture,
microcoul
ometri
c
or
mass
spectrometer
(
MS)
detectors.
Other
analytical
procedures
combined
with
these
detection
systems
have
included:
(
a)
static
head­
space
analysis
of
heated
tissue,
(
b)
stripping
volatiles
from
heated
tissue
by
flowing
an
inert
gas
directly
through
the
rendered
sample,
(
c)
vacuum
distillation
and
cryogenic
focusing
of
the
analytes
on
a
high
resolution
gas
chromatography
(
HRGC)
column,
and
(
d)
dynamic
solution
purge
and
trap
and
headspace
analysis
of
heated
tissue
water
mixtures
combined
with
cryogenic
focusing
and
HRGC
analysis.
Each
of
these
techniques
has
certain
advantages
and
disadvantages
in
terms
of
complexity
of
the
actual
sampling
procedure
and
sensitivity
and
selectivity
of
the
detector

An
analytical
method
for
the
measurement
of
volatile
organic
chemicals
in
human
adipose
tissue
has
been
developed
as
a
result
of
this
work
assignment.
This
analytical
method
is
a
modification
of
a
dynamic
headspace
purge
and
trap
procedure
(
Michael,
Erickson,
Parks,
Pellizzari

combined
with
high

RECOMMENDATIONS
Further
analytical
development
should
be
pursued
to
improve
the
determination
of
volatile
organic
compounds
in
human
adipose
tissue
samples.
These
improvements
should
specifically
include
smaller
sample
sizes
(
1.0
to
5.0g),
more
efficient
transfer
of
volatile
organics
onto
the
HRGC*
column,
and
further
development
of
the
isotope
dilution
quantitation
technique.
These
modifications
can
possible
be
achieved
by
using
widebore
HRGC
column's
and/
or
cryofocusing
techniques.

The
analytical
method
should
be
modified
to
provide
quantitative
information
on
compounds
of
greater
volatijity
than
chloroform
(
such
as
methylene
chloride,
vinyl
chloride,
etc.).
This
possibly
could
be
accomplished
by
conducting
two
analyses
on
each
tissue
sample.
The
first
analysis
should
be
conducted
for
the
more
volatile
compounds
with
the
sample
heated
in
the
range
of
50­
8OoC
and
the
headspace
sampled
for
15
min
or
less.
The
second
sample
analysis
should
be
conducted
with
the
procedures
specified
in
this
report
to
provide
quantitative
data
for
compounds
ranging
in
volatility
from
­
chloroform
through
the
dichlorobenzene
isomers.

Stability
studies
should
be
conducted
to
determine
the
effects
of
long­
term
storage
at
subzero
temperature,
and
repeated
thawing
and
freezing
on
the
integrity
of
the
volatile
organic
content
in
the
sample.
The
results
of
the
sample
analysis
conducted
for
the
FY82
composites
indicate
considerable
differences
in
the
absolute
quantities
of
the
major
volatile
constituents
(
hydrocarbons,
aldehydes,
ketones,
etc.)
for
samples
analyzed
within
6
mo
of
collection
and
the
NHATS
specimens
that
have
been
archived
prior
to
analysis
for
up
to
2
yr.

A.
Collection
and
Storage
of
NHATS
Specimens
The
adipose
specimens
were
.
originally
collected
during
FY82
(
October
1,
1981,
through
September
30,
1982)
for
determination
of
organic
chlorine
pesticide
and
PCB
residues.
The
specimens
were
col?
ected
during
surgical
procedures
or
as
part
of
postmortem
examinations.
The
cooperating
physicians
and
pathologists
were
requested
to
acquire
at
least
5
g
of
high
lipid
adipose
(
subcutaneous,
perirenal,
or
mesenteric),
taking
precautions
to
avoid
Contamination
that
might
result
in
direct
contamination
from
chemicals
such
as
solvents,
paraffin,
disinfectants,
preservatives,
or
plastics.
The
cooperators
were
given
no
specific
instructions
to
avoid
potential
contamination
that
might
arise
from
background
contribution
of
solvents
or
metals.

The
adipose
tissue
specimens
were
sealed
in
glass
jars
and
frozen
'

(­
20OC)
following
collection.
The
specimens
were
shipped
in
insulated
coolers
packed
on
dry
ice.
The
FY82
specimens
were
originally
received
and
stored
at
EPA's
Toxicant
Analysis
Center
(
TAC)
at
Bay
St.
louis,
MS.
The
NHATS
repository
was
transferred
to
Midwest
Research
Institute
(
MRI)
during
September
1982.
The
specimens
were
shipped
in
insulated
coolers
and
packed
on
dry
ice.
The
specimens
were
inventoried
at
MRI
upon
receipt
and
were
then
stored
in
freezers
(­
20OC).
Precautions
were
taken
to
ensure
that
the
specimens
remained
frozen
during
all
inventory
and
sample
handling
procedures.

8.
Sample
Compositing
Activity
The
NHATS
FY82
adipose
tissue
specimens
were
subsampled
and
composited
as
specified
by
EPA's
Design
and
Development
Branch
contractor,
Battelle
Columbus
Laboratories
(
BCL).
Prior
to
preparation
of
the
composites,
all
of
the
FY82
specimens
were
retrieved
from
the
NHATS
repository
and
the
individual
specimens
bott?
es
were
grouped
according
to
the
designated
cornpositing
scheme
provided
by
BCL.
Care
was
taken
to
ensure
that
the
specimens
were
not
allowed
to
reach
room
temperature.
The
specimen
were
stored
on
dry
ice
during
this
process
and
were
returned
to
a
freezer
(­
20
°
)
once
all
individual
specimen
for
a
specific
composite
had
been
located.

All
specimens
for
a
specific
composite
were
removed
from
the
freezer
at
the
same
time
for
the
cornpositing
effort.
The
specimens
were
placed
on
dry
ice
so
they
would
remain
frozen
during
the
cornpositing
effort.
Each
specimen
was
handled
separately
and
each
was
subsampled
for
the
composites
for
both
volatile
and
semivolatile
organic
anlaysis.
This
resulted
in
minimum
handling
of
each
specimen.
Once
the
speciment
had
been
subsampled
for
each
composite
it
was
placed
on
dry
ice.
After
all
specimen
had
been
added
to
the
composites,
the
batch
was
returned
to
the
freezer.

All
samples
were
handled
in
a
positive
pressure
Plexiglas
hood
of
approximately
94.5
L
volume
to
prevent
contamination
from
laboratory
air.
Compressed
air
was
filtered
through
a
charcoal
trap
to
remove
potential
volatile
contaminants
from
air
supply
before
it
entered
the
hood.
The
subsamples
were
manipulated
with
the
rounded
end
of
a
lab
spoon­
type
stainless
steel
spatulas
and
placed
in
40­
mL
vials
with
TFE
septa
caps.
Each
specimen
was
manipulated
with
a
separate
clean
spatula.
All
weighings
were
performed
to
k
0.1
g
on
a
Mettler
open
pan
balance
placed
in
the
hood.

The
nominal
mass
of
each
individual
specimen
necessary
to
achieve
a
final
composite
mass
of
20
g
was
determined
before
proceeding
with
the
physical
compositing.
For
example,
if
a
composite
consisted
of
20
specimens,
1.0g
of
each
specimen
was
necessary
to
achieve
a
final
composite
mass
of
20
g­
Separate
composite
samples
were
prepared
for
both
semivolatile
(
Stanley
1986c)
and
volatile
organic
analysis.
The
individual
specimens
were
added
first
to
the
composites
for
the
semivolatile
organic
analysis.
This
resulted
in
the
addition
of
a
total
available
specimen,
in
some
cases,
to
the
semivolatile
organic
composite
only.
As
a
result,
several
of
the
volatile
organic
composites
contain
somewhat
less
than
the
target
20
g
of
tissue
mass.
The
samples
resulting
from
the
46
volatile
organic
composites
ranged
from
5.1
to
25.6
g
total
mass
with
an
average
mass
of
19
g.
Appendix
C
provides
a
summary
of
the
exact
compositing
scheme
for
both
the
volatile
and
semivolatile
organic
analyses.

Prior
to
the
compositing
effort,
the
vials
were
washed
in

Reagents
The
sources
of
the
internal
standards
and
reference
compounds
and
the
procedures
for
preparing
spiking
and
calibration
standards
are
described
below.

1.
Internal
Quantitation
Standards
A
three­.
component
internal
quantitation
standard
mixture
was
obtained
from
Supelco,
lnc.
(
Catalog
No.
4­
8823,
Lot
No.
LA
11802).
This
mixture
contained
bromochloromethane,
1,4­
dichlorobutane,
and
1­
chloro­
Z­
bromopropane
at
20
mg/
mL
each
in
1.0mL
of
methanol.
This
mixture
was
used
as
received
and
was
stored
in
the
freezer
in
its
original
resealable
ampule.

A
second
stock
solution
of
deuterated
internal
quantitation
standards
was
prepared
from
the
compounds
listed
below
by
aliquoting
each
with
a
100­
pL
syringe
into
a
IO­
mL
volumetric
flask
and
diluting
to
the
mark
with
methanol
(
B&
J
high
purity,
Lot
No.
43029).
The
volume
of
each
compound
necessary
to
achieve
the
desired
concentration
was
determined
by
the
density
of
the
specific
compound.
The
final
concentration
was
approximately
10
mg/
mL
for
each
deuterated
internal
standard.
Because
the
1,4­
d4­
dich1orobenzene
is
a
solid,
a
separate
stock
was
prepared
in
methanol
before
addition
to
the
solution
containing
the
other
deuterated
analogs.
The
final
mixture
was
sealed
in
two
5­
mL
vials
and
stored
in
the
freezer
until
just
prior
to
use.

Several
compounds
characteristic
of
aromatic
compounds,
chlorinated
and
brominated
a1
iphatic
compounds,
and
chlorinated
aromatic
compounds
were
selected
for
preparation
of
analytical
standards.
These
reference
compounds
were
also
selected
as
a
preliminary
list
of
target
analytes
as
a
result
of
their
presence
in
tissue
from
the
preliminary
method
development
and
their
classification
as
priority
pollutants.

The
compounds
listed
below
were
aliquotted
with
a
100­
pL
syringe
into
a
10­
mL
volumetric
flask
that
was
partially
filled
(
approximately
5
mL)
with
methanol.
The
volume
of
each
compound
necessary
to
achieve
the
desired
concentration
was
determined
from
the
density
of
each
specific
compound.
The
solution
was
diluted
to
the
mark
and
stored
in
the
same
manner
as
the
internal
quantitation
standard
solutions.
The
compounds
were

solution
and
the
two
internal
quantitation
standard
stock
solutions
(
Supelco
mixture
and
the
deuterated
analog
mixture)
were
.
used
to
make
up
the
spiking
solutions
necessary,
for
HRGC/

,

­
Spiking
solutions
were
prepared
fresh

from
the
three
stock
solutions.
The
spiking
solutions
were
prepared.
in
1.0­

vials
(
Supelco
No.
3­
3292)
with
Mininert
Valves
(
Supelco

Tetraglyme
was
used
as
the
solvent
for
the
spiking
solutions
to
enhance
their
stability.
All
spiking
solutions
were
stored
in
the
refrigerator
and
transported
between
the
GC/
MS
facility
and
the
laboratory
on
ice
in
a
cooler.
Following
sample
spiking,
the.
solutions
were
immediately
returned
to
the
cooler.

The
spiking
solutions
were
prepared
by
aliquoting
tetraglyme
into
the
1.0­
mt
reaction
vials
and
then
spiking
the
tetraglyme
with
the
stock
solutions
For
examp le,
a
500­
ng/
pL
internal
standard
spiking
solution
was
made
/
­
by
injecting
975
pL
of
tetraglyme
with
a
1.0­
mL
syringe
(
availab ie
from
Supelco,
Inc.)
into
the
reaction
vial
and
then
injecting
25.0
pL
of
the
three­
component
(
20
mg/

Supelco
internal
quantitation
standard
stock
solution
into
the
tetraglyme,
A
500­
ng/
vL
spiking
solution
of
the
deuterated
internal
­
standards
was
similarly
prepared
by
spiking
950
pL
of
tetraglyme
with
50.0
pL
of
the
10­
mg/
mL
deuterated
internal
standard
stock
solution.

The
target
analyte
spiking
solution
was
prepared
in
the
same
manner
but
at
100
ng/
pL.
This
was
accomplished
by
spiking
990
pL
of
tetraglyme
with
10.0
pL
of
the
target
analyte
stock
solution.

When
the
actual
sample
analyses­
were
initiated,
only
two
spiking
solutions
were
necessary.
A
500­
ng/
pL
solution
of
the
three
internal
standards
from
the
Supelco
mixture
and
the
nine
deuterated
internal
standards
were
combined.
This
mixed
internal

was
prepared
with
925
pt
of
tetraglyme,
25.0
pt
of
the
three­
component
Supelco
standard,
and
50.0

was
connected
to
a
hot

maintained
at
95OC.
Approximately
5
min
was
required
for
the
solution
within
the
vessel
to
reach
the
maximum
purge
temperature.
The
vessel
was
placed
on

Helium
was
directed
into
the

beyond
the
vessel
outlet
were
wrapped
with
heat
tape
maintained
at
15OOC
to
prevent
condensation
of
the

line
flowed
into
a
column
equipped
with
a
stopcock
and

that
contained
1.0
mL
of
volatile­

This
column
was
used
as
a
condenser
to
remove
excess
moisture
from
the
purge

was
attached
to
a
six­

was
used
to
heat
and
regulate
the

Quality
Control
Procedures
Figure

shows
the
general
volatire
organic
analysis
scheme
and
the
related
quality
control
(
QC)
procedures.
Daily
QC
procedures
included
the
analysis
of
reference
standards
and
internal
standards
spiked
in
the
purge
tower
(
instrument
performance
check);
a
system
blank
with
internal
standards;
a
reference
adipose
tissue
spiked
with
standards;
and
a
QC
sample.
The
QC
sample
consisted
of
either
an
additional
instrument
performance
check
to
verify
calibration
or
an
adipose'tissue
spiked
at
a
known
level
by
the
MS
analyst.
These
QC
samples
were
included
for
several
days
at
the
initiation
.
of
the
analysis
of
the
composites.
Also,
the
MRI
quality
control
coordinator
(
QCC)
periodically
submitted
blind
spikes
to
the
MS
analyst
to
assess
instrument
performance.
These
blind
spikes
were
added
to
the
purge
tower
before
proceeding
with
the
anlaysis.

The
results
of
these
analyses
are
provided
in
Section
V.
Before
proceeding
with
the
FY82

the
MS
analyst
was
required
to
complete
successfully
the
analyses
of
check
samples
submitted
by
the
QCC.

Quantitation
Data
were
quantitated
based
on
either
the
internal
standard
or
the
isotope
dilution
principle.
The
isotope
dilution
principle
applies
to
the
quantitation
of
target
analytes
for
which
a
deuterated
analog
was
available
as
an
internal
standard.
Where
possible,
the
deuterated
analog
of
a
target
analyte
was
used
for
quantitation.
Other
compounds'
concentrations
were
cal
culated
versus
the
internal
standard,
brornochloropropane
(
1­
chloro­
2­
bromo

were
quantitated
using
the
following
equation:

The
concentration
(

in
the
original
sample
was
calculated
by
dividing
the
total
micrograms
of

by
the

data
are
expressed
in
either
micrograms

H.
Method
Validation
The
analytical
method
was
evaluated
by
analyzing
adipose
tissue
specimens
fortified
with
known
levels
of
specific
volatile
organic
compounds.

I
..

These
experiments
were
designed
to
evaluate
the
use
of
the
internal
standards
recommended
for
 PA
Method
624
(
USEPA
1984)
for
determination
of
volatile
organics
in
water
and
wastewater
(
bromochloromethane,
bromochloropropane,
and
1,4­
dichlorobutane),
as
well
as
multiple
deuterated
analogs
of
specific
target
analytes
(
isotope
dilution).
Preliminary
studies
demonstrated
that
the
internal
standards,
bromochloromethane
and
1,4­
dichlorobutane,
were
not
adequately
recovered
from
the
adipose
tissue/
water
mixtures.
Bromochloropropane
provided
reasonable
response
from
the
spiked
adipose
matrix
and
was
further
evaluated
as
a
quantitation
standard.

The
results
of
the
analysis
of
adipose
tissue
spiked
with
nine
volatile
compounds
at
four
concentration
levels
ranging
from
5
to
75
ng/
g
(
ppb)
are
presented
in
Table
2.
In
general,
the
average
recovery
of
the
analyses
for
these
compounds
was
good,
except
for
chloroform,
which
demonstrated
an
average
recovery
of
264%.
Although
the
average
recovery
for
the
other
compounds
was
quite
good
(
62
to
116%),
wide
variability
was
noted
for
the
individual
analyses
at
each
spike
level.

The
high
recovery
of
chloroform
from
this
study
may
be
a
result
of
a
difference
in
the
background
chloroform
concentration
in
the
adipose
tissue
used
for
this
spiking
experiment
as
compared
to
the
tissue
used
for
calibration.
An
absolute
value
for
the
background
contribution
of
each
target
analyte
was
not
determined
from
unspiked
tissued
used
in
these
experiments­
Another
factor
that
may
have
resulted
in
the
high
recovery
of
chloroform
is
the
possible
conversion
of
trichloroacetic
acid
(
present
as
a
metabolite
of
tetrachlroethylene,
trichloroethane,
etc.).
to
chloroform
at
the
elevated
temperatures
required
to
complete
the
analyses
(
Peoples,
Pfaffenberger,
Shafik,
Enos
1979).

The
impact
of
the
use
of
multiple
internal
standards
versus
a
single
internal
standard
was
evaluated
as
a
separate
experiment.
Deuterated
analogs
of
several
target
analytes
were
added
to
fortified
tissue
samples
in
addition
to
bromochloropropane,
Table
3
presents
the
comparison
of
the
single
versus
multiple
internal
standard
quantitation
techniques.
As
noted
in
Table
3,
a
deuterated
analog
was
not
available
for
tetrachloroethene.
The
data
generated
for
the
target
analytes
demonstrate
average
recoveries
ranging
from
82
to
136%
for
the
multiple
internal
standard
quantitation
as
compared
to
average
recoveries
of
74
to
143%
for
the
same
compounds
quantitated
versus
bromochloropropane.
The
somewhat
tighter
range
of
recoveries
or
accuracies
of
quantitation
with
incorporation
of
the
multiple
internal
standards
results
from
the
fact
that
the
deuterated
ana logs
behave
similarly
to
the
target
analytes.

The
purging
efficiencies
of
the
target
analytes
and
the
internal
standards
were
evaluated
from
replicate
analyses
of
a
single
fortified
adipose
tiss6e.
This
experiment
was
necessary
to
(
1)
demonstrate.
the
difference
in
partitioning
of
the
various
target
anafytes
from
the
water/
tissue
mixture
to
the
headspace
and
(
2)
compare
the
partitioning
characteristics
of
the
available
internal
standards
versus
the
target
analytes.
A
20­
9
aliquot
of
tissue
was
spiked
with
1.0
yg
each
of
the
internal
standards
and
0.20
pg
of
the
target
analytes.
The
sample
was
heated
to
approximately
8OoC,
and
the
headspace
above
the
stirred
mixture
was
sampled
for
40
min.
The
volatile
compounds
were
desorbed
from
the
Tenax
adsorbent
and
analyzed
by
HRGWMS.
The
heating,
purging
sampling,
and
analysis
procedures
were
repeated
an
additional
three
times.

is
a

for

Three
distinctive
plots
for
the
three
internal

are
presented.
These
data
demonstrate
that
bromochloromethane
is
not
an
acceptable
internal
standard
due
to
low
response.
The
breakthrough
volume
for
the
volatile
components
is
based
on
the
total

of
adsorbent
and
sampling

Based
on
sampling
volumes
extrapolated
by
Brown
and
Purnell
(
19771,
it
is
expected
that
the
optimum
sampling
volume
for
the

such
as
bromochloromethane
are
approximately

L
(
40
mL/
min
for
40
min)
and
the
total
mass
of
Tenax
was
approximately
0.2
g.
Hence,
the
low
response
observed
for
bromochloromethane
is
probably
due
to
the
low
capacity
of
the
Tenax
adsortjent
system
for
the
more
volatile
compounds
rather
than
to
the
purging
efficiency
from
the
matrix.

The
plot
of
bromochloropropane
indicates
that
this
internal
standard
is
effectively
partitioned
from
the
adipose/
water
mixture
to
air
for
all
four
analyses.
The
plot
for
1,4­
dichlorobutane,
on
the
other
hand,
indicates
that
this
compound
is
fairly
soluble
in
the
adipose/
water
matrix.
The
adipose/
air
partitioning
constant
is
obviously
low.
Hence,
this
compound
was
not
considered
as
a
quantitative
internal
standard
for
further
sample
analyses.

Figure
4
presents
additional
plots
of
the
observed
purging
efficiencies
for
eight
deuterated
internal
standards
spiked
initially
at
1.0
pg
in
the
20­
9
adipose
tissue
sample.
Again
it
is
noted
that
the
deuterated
analog
of
chloroform
was
detected
only
in
the
first
sample
analysis.
This
observation
is
possibly
due
to
the
fact
that
chloroform
has
the
lowest
boiling
point
(
b.
p.
6O.
5­
61,
S0C),
hence
greatest
volatility,
of
the
compounds
analyzed.
Deuterated
methylene
chloride
(
d,­
CH2C12)
was
also
added
to
these
samples
but
was
not
detected
even
in
the
first
analyses.
The
plots
of
the
other
internal
standards
appear
to
reflect
the
effect
of
boiling
point
on
purging
efficiency
from
the
heated
mixture.
The
d6­
benzene
and
d,­
toluene
demonstrate
the
most
significant
differences
in
absolute
response
for
the
sequential
analysis
of
the
spiked
adipose
sample.
The
boiling
points
for
these
compounds
range
from
approximately
80
to
lll
°
C
as
compared
to
135
to
173OC
for
d,,­
R­
xylene
and
d4­
l,
4­
dichlorobenzene.

The
absolute
responses
of
several
target
analytes
spiked
(
0.20
pg
each)
into
the
same
20­
9
aliquot
of
human
adipose
are
plotted
for
the
four
sequential
analyses
(
Figures
5
and
6).
The
plots
for
these
target
analytes
also
appear
to
correspond
with
the
boiling
points
of
the
specific
compound.
The
more
volatile
cempounds
such
as
chloroform
(
b.
p.
60.5­
61.
S"
C),
l,
I,
l­
trichloroethane
(
b.
p.
74­
76OC),
and
dibrornochloromethane
(
b.
p.
119­
12OoC)
were
detected
in
only
the
first
and
second
analyses,
indicating
better
purging
efficiency
a1though
less
retention
on
the
Tenax
adsorbent,
than
demonstrated
for
the
other
compounds.
The
response
profiles
noted
for
compounds
such
as
benzene,
toluene,
chlorobenzene,
tetrachloroethene,
ethylbenzene,
and
dichlorobenzene
are
very
similar
to
the
plots
of
the
deuterated
analogs
presented
in
Figure
4.

The
similarity
in
the
response
profiles
for
several
target
analytes
and
the
corresponding
deuterated
analogs
are
presented
in
Figures
7
to
9.
These
plots
reflect
that
the
purging
efficiencies
of
each
pair
of
compounds
are
equivalent
from
the
spiked
adipose
tissue.
These
plots
demonstrate
the
advantages
of
the
isotope
dilution
(
target
analyte/
deuterated
internal
standard
pair)
technique
versus
a
single
internal
standard
for
quantitation
of
volatile
organics
in
human
adipose
tissue.
With
the
exception
of
toluene,
the
differences
of
responses
noted
for
these
pairs
are
roughly
a
factor
of
5
for
each
analysis,.
which
corresponds
to
the
spike
ratio
of
0.20
pg
of
target
analyte
versus
1.0
pg
for
the
deuterated
internal
standard.
The
difference
noted
for
the
toluene/
d8­
toluene
plot
is
the
result
of
the
endogenous
toluene
concentration
in
the
tissue
sample
used
for
these
analyses.

Figure
10
provides
a
plot
of
the
obse.
rved
responses
for
several
com
pounds
not
spiked
into
the
tissue
sample.
These
compounds
include
1,4­
dichlo
robenzene,
two
xylene
isomers,
and
three
C3­
alkyl
benzenes
(
trimethyl,
methyl­
ethyl,
or
propyl
isomers).
These
results
indicate
that
the.
method
might
be
capable
of
detecting
and
quantitating
compounds
with
boiling
points
ranging
up
to
approximately
175OC.

IV.
RESULTS
The
analyses
for
the
NHATS
FY82
composite
samples
were
completed
following
the
method
evaluation
studies.
Figures
11
to
17
provide
examples
of
the
HRGC/
MS
chromatograms
for
the
analysis
of
instrument
performance
checks,
spiked
tissue
samples,
and
actual
composite
samples.

Figures
12
and
13
compare
the
HRGC/
MS
chromatogram
of
the
bulk­
adipose
tissue
used
to
establish
method
performance
and
one
of
the
composite
samples.
The
HRGC/
MS
chromatogram
of
the
composite
sample
appears
to
have
considerably
more
volatile
material
than
the
bulk
adipose
used
to
prepare
the
tissue
standard.
Tentative
identifications
for
some
of
the
major
peaks
in
Figure
13
were
assigned
based
on
the
comparison
of
the
mass
spectra
to
library
spectra.

figures
14
and
15
provide
comparisons
of
the
composite
specimens
for
three
age
groups
within
the
same
census
division.
All
of
the
samples
from
each
census
division
were
analyzed
on
the
same
day.
The
results
demonstrate
that
the
elution
profiles
of
all
samples
are
comparable
although
the
absolute
responses
of
the
peaks
vary.

Figures
16
and
17
provide
comparisons
of
three
composite
samples
representing
the
15­
44and
0­
14age
groups
from
three
census
divisions.
Again
the
general
HRGC/
MS
profiles
appear
to
be
consistent
although
the
absolute
response
of
each
peak
varies
from
sample
to
sample.

Upon
reviewing
the
data
in
Tables

it
is
noted
that
the
level
of
detection
(

varies
from
one
sample
to
another.
This
results
from
a
combination
of
the
observed
background
in
a
sample
at
the
characteristic
ion
for
a
specific
analyte
and
the
intensity
of
the
response
of
the
characteristic
ion
for
the
corresponding
internal
standards.
Hence,
the
calculated
limits
of
detection
were
higher
in
some
instances
due
to
high
background
at
the
charasteric
ions
for
the
target

and/
or
low

(
observed

and
ethylphenol
were

in
all
46
composites.
Two

However,
the

QUALITY
ASSURANCE/
QUALITY
CONTROL
As
mentioned
in
Section
IV,
several
procedures
were
included
with
the
analysis
of
the
composite
specimens
to
document
the
quality
of
the
data
reported.
These
procedures
included
instrument
performance
checks
using
re
agent
spikes
at
the
purge
tower.
These
were
performed
daily
following
initial
instrument
cal
ibration
by
the
HRGC/
MS
analyst.
The
quality
control
procedures
also
required
that
the
analyst
demonstrate
background
contribution
of
the
headspace
analysis
system
through
the
analysis
of
system
blanks.
Adipose
tis
sue
samples
were
spiked
with
known
amounts
of
the
target
analytes
and
internal
standards
to
verify
consistency
of
response
factors
before
proceeding
with
the
sample
analyses.
When
necessary,
the
analyst
completed
the
analysis
of
a
three­
point
calibration
curve
before
proceeding
with
sample
analysis.
Typical
.
spike
levels
of
the
target
analyte
ranged
from
0.2
to
1.4
1.19per
20­
g
aliquot
of
tissue.
These
spike.
levels
were
equivalent
to
concentrations
from
0.010
to
0.070
pg/
g.

A.
Instrument
Performance
Checks
Instrument
performance
checks
were
completed
using
quality
control
samples
prepared
by
the
MS
analyst
(
internal
QC)
or
by
the
project
quality
control
coordinator
(
external
QC).
These
instrument
performance
checks
were
completed
to
demonstrate
that
the
HRGC/
MS
system
was
properly
calibrated
and
to
document
method
performance
(
precision)
over
time.
The
instrument
performance
checks
were
achieved
by
spiking
a
solution
of
the
reference
compounds
into
the
purge
tower
and
then
proceeding
with
the
sampling
and
analyses
events
as
described
earlier
in
the
experimental
section.

1.
Internal
QC
Table
22
presents
a
summary
of
the
internal
QC
instrumental
performance
check
completed
for
10
different
analysis
days.
Spike
levels
for
these
instrument
performance
checks
were
from
0.20
to
0.40
pg
for
each
of
the
specified
target
analytes.
Table
23
provides
the
average
recovery
and
range
of
measured
recoveries
for
each
compound.
As
noted,
the
method
recoveries
for
 
all
compounds
were
typically
within
the
range
of
80
to
120%
with
the
exception
of
bromochloromethane.
The
method
precision
for
the
internal
QC
measurements
was
generally
within
f
15%.
These
accuracy
and
precision
estimates
reflect
day­
to­
day
performance
of
the
analytical
method.

2.
External
QC
A
mixed
volatile
stock
standard
was
prepared
containing
chloroform,
benzene,
bromodichloromethane,
toluene,
chlorobenzene,
ethylbenzene,
1,
Z­
dichlorobenzene
1,1,2,2­
tetrachloroethane,
and
tetrachloroethene
at
a
concentration
of
10
mg/
mL
for
each
compound.
One
portion
of
the
stock
solution
was
diluted
and
used
for
internal
QC,
and
another
was
diluted
and
used
for
performance
audit
samples.

Five
dilutions
of
the
stock
solution
were
prepared
in
tetraglyme,
sealed
in
microreaction
vials
sealed
with
Mininert
valves,
and
stored
in
a
freezer
until
needed.
The
concentration
of
each
compound
per
dilution
was:

Spiked
Adipose
Tissue
Samples
An
additional
QC
control
check
included
the
analysSs
of
spiked
adipose
tissue
samples.
Table
25
summarizes
the
results
for
five
spiked
adipose
tissue
specimens
analyzed
with
the
first
sample
batches.
The
mean
accuracy
of
these
measurements
ranged
from
94%
for
l,
l,
Z­
trichloroethane
to
14%
for
1,1,2,2­
tetrachloroethane.
The
range
of
recoveries
for
each
compound
is
somewhat
broader
than
noted
for
the
instrument
performance
checks
due
to
the
influence
of
the
matrix
on
recovery
efficiency
and
background
contribution.

C.
Internal
Standards
The
absolute
responses
of
the
internal
standards
were
noted
for
each
QC
check
sample
and
composite
adipose
tissue
sample
to
document
instrument
operating
parameters.
The
absolute
responses
of
the
internal
standards
in
the
first
composite
sample
analyzed
were
observed
to
decrease
markedly
in
comparison
to
the
responses
observed
for
the
instrument
performance
check
and
system
blank.
A
reduction
in
the
response
can
be
attributed
to
the

partitioning
of
the
volatile
internal
standards.

Differences
in
the
recovery
of
the
internal
standard
from
the
FY82
composite
specimens
and
the
bulk
adipose
tissues
used
for
method
calibration
were
also
observed.
The
absolute
responses
of
the
internal
standards
from
the
bulk
adipdse
tissue
samples
were
nearly
always
greater
than
the
responses
for
the
NHATS
composites.
This
indicates
that
the
recoveries
or
observed
partitioning
of
the
.
internal
standards
from
the
spiked
samples
to
the
headspace
was
greater
for
the
QC
samples
than
the
FY82
composites.
This
observed
recovery
might
indicate
some
difference
in
the
two
sources
of
adipose
tissues.
This
bulk
adipose
tissue
had
been
collected
within
6
mo
of
the
volatile
organic
analysis
as
compared
with
the
FY82
specimens,
which
had
been
stored
for
up
to
2
yr.

After
observing
the
reduction
in
response
with
the
first
composite
sample,
the
instrument
performance
was
verified
through
reanalysis
of
a
vessel
blank
(
water
plus
internal
standards).
This
analysis
demonstrated
that
the
instrument
was
properly
calibrated
and
that
the
matrix
was
responsible
for
the
reduction
in
response
of
the
internal
standards.

Figures
22
to
25
are
plots
of
several
of
the
internal
standard
responses
from
the
system
blanks,
spiked
reference
tissue
samples,
and
NHATS
composite
samples.
These
plots
demonstrate
that
the
differences
in
the
observed
internal
standards
responses
for.
the
method
blanks,
spiked
reference
tissues,
and
the
NHATS
composites
were
noted
for
each
day
that
the
composites
were
analyzed.

may
differ
depending
upon
the
nature
of
interferences
in
the

METHOD
SUMMARY
Helium
gas
is
swept
through
the
head
space
of
a
special.
1ydesigned
purging
chamber
containing
water
and
the
adipose
tissue
sample.
The
water
and
sample
are
heated
and
stirred
to
aid

CONTAMINATION
AND
INTERFERENCES
3.1
'
Impurities
in
the
purge
gas,
organic
compounds
out­
gassing
from
the
plumbing
upstream
of
the
trap,
and
solvent
vapors
in
the
laboratory
account
for
the
majority
of
contamination
problems.
The
analytical
system
is
demonstrated
to
be
free
from
interferences
under
conditions
of
the
analysis
by
analyzing
blanks
initially
and
with
each
sample
set
analyzed
daily.

3.2
Samples
can
be
contaminated
by
diffusion
of
volatile
organic
compounds
through
the
bottle
seal
during
preparation,
handling,
or
storage.
A
sample
container
blank
carried
through
the
sampling
and
handling
protocol
serves
as
a
check
on
such
contamination.

3.3
Contamination
by
carry­
over
can
occur
when
high
level
and
low
level
samples
are
analyzed
sequentially.
To
reduce
carry­
over,
a
clean
headspace
chamber
is
used
for
each
sample
analysis
and
sample
syringes
are
rinsed
between
samples
with
reagent
water.
Instrument
performance
checks
and
QC
samples
are
followed
by
analysis
of
a
reagent
water
blank
to
check
for
carry­
over'.
The
headspace
device
is
washed
with
soap
solution,.
rinsed
with
tap
and
distilled
water,
and
dried
in
an
oven
at
10O­
12S0C
overnight.
The
Tenax
adsorbent
trap
and
other
parts
of
the
system
are
also
subject
to
contamination;
therefore,
frequent
bakeout
and
purging
of
the
entire
system
may
be
required.

3.4
Interferences
resulting
from
samples
may
vary
considerably,
depending
on
the
length
of
sample
storage.

4.0
SAFETY
4.1
The
toxicity
or
carcinogenicity
of
each
compound
used
in
this
method
has
not
been
precisely
def
ined;
however
,
each
compound
should
be
treated
as
a
potential
health
hazard.
Exposure
to
these
chemicals
should
be
maintained
at
the
lowest
possible
level.

4.2
The
glass
purging
apparatus
used
in
this
method
is
of
fairly
recent
design
and
has
apparent
limitations
which
must
be
observed.
The
pressure
in
the
system
should
not
exceed
10
psi.
Excessive
pressure
above
this
limit
may
result
in
the
possible
explosion
of
the
purging
vessel
or
purge
tower.
Monitoring
the
gas
pressure
is
easily
accomplished
by
placing
a
pressure
gauge
between
the
helium
source
and
the
gas
inlet
at
the
vessel.
At
no
time
should
any
glassware
be
pressurized
without
the
analyst
wearing
approved
safety
goggles.

ANALYSIS
ROUTINE
This
routine
must
be
followed
after
any
system
shutdown
or
at
least
once
every
8
h
prior
to
any
sample
analysis.

9.1
Perform
an
instrument
mass
calibration
using
bromofluorobenzene
(
BFB)
to
achieve'the
mass
intensity
specifications
in
Table
A­
1.

9.2
Conduct
a
purge
tower
instrument
evaluation
with
the
system
set
up
as
in
Figure
A­
1.

9.2.1
Conduct
a
leak
test
by
squirting
VOA­
free
water
around
,
all
connections,
vessel
cap,
etc.
Correct
as
needed.
Check
the
bubble
meter
for
the
correct
40.0­
rnL/
min
flow.
The
Carle
valve
must
be
in
the
purge
position.

9.2.2
Turn
off
the
purge
tower
stopcock
and
immediately
turn
the
helium
supply
off.
Check
the
pressure
gauge
for
a
slow
pressure
falloff.
If
the
gauge
reading
drops,
check
again
for
leaks.

9.2.3
Remove
the
purge
tower
cap.

9.2.4
Connect
a
30­
cm
length
of
Teflon@
tubing
to
the
10.0­
mL
syringe.
Draw
3.0
mL
of
VOA­
free
water
into
the
syringe.
Remove
the
Teflon@
tubing
and
draw
1.0
mL
of
air
into
the
syringe.
Using
two
separate
5.0­
pL
syringes,
withdraw
2.0
pL
of
each
working
solution
of
8.2.2
and
8.3.2.
Spike
the
10.0
mL
syringe
with
each
of
the
standard
spiking
A­

solutions.
Be
sure
to
inject
directly
into
the
water.
Reseal
the
mininert
valves
and
return
the
standards
to
a
refrigerator.
Replace
the
Teflon@
tubing
on
the
10.0­
mL
syringe.
Invert
the
syringe
several
times
to
ensure
adequate
mixing
of
the
tetraglyme
and
water.

9.2.5
Inject
the
contents
of
the
10.0­
mL
syringe
directly
into
the
water
at
the
bottom
of
the
purge
tower.
The
air
in
the
syringe
should
push
the
water
solution
completely
out,
but
should
not
be
allowed
to
bubble
out
the
end
of
the
Teflon@
tube.
Immediately
withdraw
the
Teflon@
tube
and
recap
the
purge
tower.

9.2.6,
With
the
Carle
valve
in
the
purge
mode,
the
Tenax
trap
at
ambient
temperature,
and
all
heat'
tape
lines
at
15OoC,
turn
on
the
helium
supply
valve
and
then
the
stopcock
at
the
purge
tower.

NOTE:
If
the
stopcock
on
the
purge
tower
is
left
closed,
the
helium
gas
.
may
rupture
the
purge
vessel.

Check
the
system
for
leaks.
Ifa
leak
is
detected,
the
system
must
be
shut
down
and
the
purge
tower
cleaned
as
out1ined
below.

9.2.7
Purge
the
purge
tower,
for
12
min
at
40
mL/
min.

9.2.8
After
the
purge
is
complete,
turn
the
Carle
valve
to.
the
desorb
mode,
heat
the
Tenax
trap
to
approximately
25OoC
and
initiate
the
HRGC/
MS
data
acquisition.
These
three
procedures
are
done
as
quickly
as
possible
to
maintain
the
absolute
retention
times
between
analysis.
The
gas
~

chromatograph
should
be
held
isothevmal
at
3OoC
for
5
min
then
programmed
to
125OC
at
6OC/
min.
Hold
at
125
°
C
for
10
min
and
then
program
to
2OO0C
before
returning
to

9.2.9
During
the
HRGC/
MS
data
acquisition,
remove
the
purge
tower
cap
and
rinse
the
tower.
Using
the
10.0­
mL
syringe
and
Teflon@
tube,
alternately
add
and
withdraw
10,
O­
mL
portions
of
VOA­
free
water.
Repeat
this
procedure
a
minimum
of
six
times
and
discard
each
rinse.
Reassemble
the
tower
with
2.0
mL
of
VOA­
free
water.

9.2.10
After
data
acquisition
is
complete,
check
the
HRGC/
MS
response
to
the
internal
standards.
Note
that
often
the
initial
analysis
of
the
system
following
instrument
shutdown
will
give
variable
responses.
If
this
is
observed
and
the
responses
are
not
equivalent
to
that
previously
regarded
as
optimum
performance,
the
purge
tower
instrument
evaluation
must
be
repeated.
Refer
to
Calculations
(
Section
11.0)
for
response

­
External
quality
control
checks
(
blind
samples)
should
be
conducted
by
the
project
Quality
Control
Coordinator
(
QCC)
to
demonstrate
proper
instrument
calibration.
These
QC
checks
are
performed
periodically
(
typically
on
the
first
analysis
day
of
each
week).

9.3.1
Allow
the
Tenax

temperature.

9.3.2
The
Q'C
check
is
conducted
in
the
same
manner
as
the
purge

instrument
check,
but
the
target

9.3.3
The
recoveries
of
the
target
ana?

are
calculated
and
provided
to
the
QCC
for
evaluation.
If
the
evaluation
is
adequate,
the
analyst
proceeds
with
the
system
blank
after
completing
the
system
rinse
as
in
9.2.9.
If
the
QC
check
does
not
demonstrate
acceptable

must
recalibrate
the
system
and
repeat
the
QC
check.

blank
9.4.1
With
the
system
set­
up
as
in
Figure
A­
1,
with
the
Carle
valve
in
purge
mode,
add
80.0
mL
of
VOA­
free
water
in
the
Wheaton
vessel
and
check
for
leaks.

9.4.2
Turn
the
purge
tower
valve
off
and
helium
supply
off.

9.4.3
Remove
the
Wheaton
vessel
cap
and
inject
2.0
pL
of
the
internal
standard
solution.
Follow
9.2.4,
but
substitute
the
vessel
for
the
purge
tower
and
omit
the
analyte
solution

9.4.4
Reseal
the
vessel,
turn
on
the
helium
at
the
helium
supply
valve.
When
a
pressure
reading
is
observed
in
the
system,
open
the
stopcock
at
the
purge
tower;
this
will
prevent
water
from
seeping
into
the
lines
at
the
bottom
of
the
purge
tower.
Check
for
leaks.

9.4.5
Turn
on
the
stirrer
and
the
valve
at
the
three­
way
hot
water
junction,
so
that
the
heated
(
95OC)
water
will
flow
through
the
vessel
jacket.
Purge
the
system
for
40.0
min.

9.4.6
After
the
40.0­
min
purge,
desorb
as
in
9.2.8.

9.4.7
Remove
the
modified
Wheaton
vessel
and
replace
with
a
clean
headspace
apparatus
containing
80.0
mL
VOA­

Tissue
standard
­
A
tissue
sample
(
20
g)
spiked
with
known
levels
of
the
series
of
target
analytes
and
internal
standards
should
be
analyzed
daily
to
document
relative
response
factors
from
the
tissue
matrix.
Prior
to
initiating
actual
sample
analysis,
the
analyst
should
analyze
a
series
of
adipose
tissue
samples
spiked
with
0.20
to
1.4
pg
of
each
of
the
target
analytes
and
1.0
pg
of
each
internal
standard.
The
analyst
should
require
a
relative
response
factor
consistency
of
It
40%
variability
for
the
Calibration
curve
and
for
day
to
day
verification
of
the
calibration.
If
the
measured
response
factors
are
determined
to
vary
by
more
than
40%
of
the
average,
the
calibration
curve
must
be
re­
established
The
analyst
must
be
aware
that
the
background
contribution
of
the
tissue
selected
for
spiked
samples
will
effect
the
measured
response
factors.
If
the
background
contribution
is
significant,
the
analyst
must
analyze
an
unspiked
sample
to
determine
the
level
of
background.
Figure
A­
3
is
an
example
of
a
spiked
tissue
standard.

9.5.1
With
the

cap
and
place
20.0
g
of
frozen
adipose
tissue
in
the
80.0
mL
of
water.
Use
the
Fisher
spatula
to
manipulate
the
frozen
tissue.
The
adipose
tissue
used
for
the
tissue
standard
analysis
should
be
from
a
bulk
supply
so
that
each
tissue
standard
will
be
subjected
to
the
same
matrix
effects.
Recap
the
vessel.

9.5.2
Spike
this
solution
with
2.0
pL
of
each

COMPOSITING
SCHEME
The
NHATS
FY82
specimens
were
composited
according
to
a
scheme
provided
by
the
OTS
Design
and
Development
Branch
(
DDB)
prime
contractor,
Battelle
Columbus
Laboratories
(
BCL).
The
following
tables
provide
the
details
of
the
actual
compositing
effort.
Composites
for
semivolatile
organic
analysis
were
completed
first.
Thus.,
many
of
the
specimens
identified
by.
BCL
were'depleted
before
the
volatile
composite
was
prepared.

The
aliquot
for
each
individual
specimen
added
to
the
composites
is
specified
and
the
approximate
mass
of
each
individual
specimen
remaining
after
compositing
is
listed..
Most
samples
contain
up
to
20
g
total
adipose
tissue.
However,
two
samples
(
WS
­
Composite
1,
0­
14
yr
and
MO
­
Composite
1,
0­
14
yr)
consist
of
only
5­
10
g
total.
This
is
a
result
of
the
very
small
sample
sizes
that
were
available.
Many
of
the
samples.
for
the
MO
census
division
could
not
be
located
in
the
repository.
The
notation,
NS,
indicates
no
sample
was
found.

One
error
in
the
actual
compositing
should
be
noted.
