ISO 17943 specifies a method for the determination of volatile organic compounds. The limit of determination depends on the matrix, on the specific compound to be analysed, and on the sensitivity of the mass spectrometer.
This method may be applicable to other compounds not explicitly covered by ISO 17943 or to other types of water. However, it is necessary to demonstrate the applicability for each case.
ISO 17943 on water quality is relevant to:
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are often found in the manufacturing processes of paints, adhesives, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants. Some are used as gasoline additives, solvents, hydraulic fluids, and dry-cleaning agents.
ISO 17943 provides guidance and methods for determining the volatile organic compounds in water using headspace solid-phase microextraction method and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as well as requirements and procedures for a sustainable environment.
Overall, by removing toxins in water and making a sustainable habitat through ISO 17943, you will be able to improve the water quality, saving the habitat, and environment.
