 HEXACHLORO-1,3-CYCLOPENTADIENE: METHOD 2518, Issue 2, dated 15 August 1994 - Page 4 of 4 migrate from front sections of sorbent to backup sections. Area samples from a municipal wastewater treatment plant were collected and analyzed by a variation of this method [2]. Differences in the method included sampling with 150 mg of 80/100 Chromosorb 102 and desorption with petroleum ether. Concentrations of hexachloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene ranged from 0.03 to 39 µg/m 3.
