Method 200.8, developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), describes a test method for determining trace elements in water and waste: Method 200.8 Inductively coupled plasma - Determination of trace elements in water and waste using mass spectrometry.

This method provides a method for the determination of dissolved elements in groundwater, surface water and drinking water. In addition, this method is used to determine the total recoverable element concentrations in these waters, as well as for the determination of wastewater, sludge and soil samples. The main elements to which this method is applied are: aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, thallium, thorium, uranium, vanadium and zinc.
Estimated device detection limits for these elements are listed in the table provided. Another table lists the detection limits for both the total recoverable determinations by direct analysis and the typical method detection using sample digestion.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. These studies are based on the latest technological equipment, trained and experienced staff and modern methods. Among the numerous tests performed in this context are inductively coupled plasma, mass spectrometry and trace element determination in waters and wastes (EPA 200.8 method).
