ASTM International’s water committee ( D19 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help to accelerate the analysis of ammonia nitrogen in environmental samples. Ammonia nitrogen is a nutrient that can lead to oxygen-depleted and potentially toxic algae blooms that can kill fish. According to ASTM International member William Lipps, the proposed method ( WK42422 ) will eliminate the need for…

ASTM International’s water committee ( D19 ) is developing a proposed standard ( WK74011 ) that would aid water treatment facilities in monitoring nitrosamine contamination. Nitrosamines are contaminants commonly found in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products and vegetables. Because nitrosamines have been traced to a potential increase in the risk of cancer, their…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11083 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard would provide the determination of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous matrices. ASTM’s committee on water (D19) is developing the proposed standard (WK73235). The proposed method would be applicable for the rapid, and definitive determination of PFAS compounds in water samples ranging from clean water to highly contaminated wastewater. The proposed…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11040 ###
