5035SC TM Soil Core Sampler and Procedures
The purpose of the EPA Method 5035 is to reduce volatilization of soil samples prior to laboratory analyses. Other methods, notably ASTM (D4547-98) have also been developed to minimize losses in volatile organic compounds (VOC) and semi-volatile organic compound (SVOC) during soil sample collection and storage. Soil piles or even soil tubes from trenches or borings can use EPA Method 5035.
