many industries. There are 17 peer reviewed, standardized methods for the
determination of volatile, semi-volatile, and selected toxic organic pollutants
in the air. The methods are named from TO-1 to TO-17.
Inorganic (IO) Compendium Methods: These are a set of 17 methods (in five
categories) with a variety of applicable sampling methods and various
analytical
techniques for specific classes of
inorganic pollutants. The
methods are named as IO-1.x to IO-5.x.
To obtain methods for emission from stationary sources, select EMC (Emission
Measurement Center) from the same TTN Web site. The EMC test methods can be
divided into four categories based on the legal status and EPA's confidence in its
application for the intended use in measuring air pollutants emitted from the entire
spectrum of industrial processes causing air pollution:
Category A: Methods proposed or promulgated in the Federal Register
Category B: Source category approved alternative methods
Category C: other methods
Category D: Historic conditional methods
Category A contains mainly four types of important methods that have been
proposed or promulgated in the Federal Register.
Method 1 to 29: These are the methods associated with ''New Source
Performance Standard (NSPS).'' They can be found in Appendix A to 40
CFR Part 60.
Method 101 to 115: These are the methods associated with ''National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).'' They can
be found in Appendix B to 40 CFR Part 61.
Method 201 to 206: These are the methods associated with ''State Imple-
mentation Plan (SIP).'' They can be found in Appendix M to 40 CFR Part 51.
Method 206 was renamed to CTM-027.
Method 301 to 310: These are the methods associated with ''Maximum
Achievable Control Technology (MACT)'' standards. They can be found in
Appendix A to 40 CFR Part 63.
You can obtain parts of 40 CFR (Title 40—Protection of Environment) for free

Water Test Methods
The U.S. EPA water test methods are under the water program (The Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, 40 CFR 100-140) and drinking water program (The Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 40 CFR 141-149). Important methods and documents
are as follows:
