Wide List of Target Compounds

From VOCs to SVOCs, Beacon Environmental can target the widest range of compounds

Beacon Environmental analyzes passive soil gas samples by EPA Method 8260C (a GC/MS method), providing the industry's highest level of accuracy and QA/QC procedures. Our in-house laboratory can target a broad range of VOCs and SVOCs, including chlorinated solvents (e.g., PCE, TCE, TCA, vinyl chloride), petroleum hydrocarbons (e.g., BTEX, MTBE, TPH, GRO, DRO), polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., naphthalene, acenaphthene, pyrene), phenol, chlorobenzenes, ketones, chemical warfare agent (CWA) breakdown products, and nitroaromatics.  For Department of Defense clients, CWAs (e.g., Mustard, GB-Sarin, GD-Soman, VX) can be targeted using our passive soil gas technology. Mercury can also be targeted using a slight variation on our technology.

Following is a list of compounds that Beacon Environmental can target. While the list contains over 180 compounds, a typical survey will target a group of six to 40 compounds. If you do not see a compound of interest, contact us and we will let you know if that compound can also be targeted.
