Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Under the test conditions employed, it was not possible to achieve the nominal concentrations and this is presumed to be due to the volatility of the test material. These results suggest that the type of medium used did not affect the test concentration achieved and the use of solvent stock solutions was not beneficial.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It is proposed that range finding tests are performed under sealed conditions, at nominal concentrations of 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg TFO/L, with test media prepared via direct addition of the test material to the dilution media. The time taken for media preparation will be kept to a minimum in an attempt to minimise any losses by volatility.
Executive summary:

Under the test conditions employed, it was not possible to achieve the nominal concentrations and this is presumed to be due to the volatility of the test material. These results suggest that the type of medium used did not affect the test concentration achieved and the use of solvent stock solutions was not beneficial.
