An analytical procedure to measure the hydrocarbons
with C > 12 is reported. The procedure has been developed from a
working group in the frame of the 2010-2012 working program of the
Environmental Agencies Director’s Board. ARPA/APPA
(Regional/Provincial Agency for Environmental Protection), ISS
(Istituto Superiore di Sanità), CNR-IRSA (National Research
Council- Water Research Institute), CRA (Agricultural Research
Council) and ISPRA (Institute for Environmental Protection and
Research) have participated at the working group. The
procedure adapted the ISO 16703:2004, measurements of hydrocarbon
C10-C40 in soil, to the national normative request, i.e.
measurement of hydrocarbon with C>12. Precision data
(repeatability and reproducibility) were assessed trough a
collaborative study organized by ISPRA. The Environmental Agencies
Director’s Board adopted this procedure as reference for the
System ISPRA/ARPA/APPA.
