Immunoassay techniques have been approved for the determination of numerous analytes commonly found in hazardous wastes. Where the EPA method numbers are given in parentheses, these include pentachlorophenol (4010), 2,4-dichlorophenox-yacetic acid (4015), polychlorinated biphenyls (4020), petroleum hydrocarbons (4030), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (4035), toxaphene (4040), chlordane (4041), DDT (4042), TNT explosives in soil (4050), and hexahydro-l,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) in soil (4051). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays have been reported for monitoring pentachlorophenol, BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and o-, m-, and /7-xylene) in industrial effluents.
