Total Fluoride Emissions from Stationary Sources (Specific Ion Electrode Method) – USEPA Method 13B

USEPA Method 13B is used for the determination of fluoride (F-) emissions from sources as specified in the regulations. The method involves isokinetically withdrawing gaseous and particulate F- from the source and collecting it in water and on a filter. The total F- is then determined by the specific ion electrode method after acid distillation. Alternatively, Clean Air Engineering can analyze the samples using ion chromatography, which provides better detection limits and is less prone to interfering compounds.

The method does not measure fluorocarbons, such as Freons.
