The Twentieth Edition has maintained the trend of the Nineteenth Edition in continued renewal of Part 1000. Significant revision has occurred in the sections on data quality (1030), sampling (1060) and reagent water (1080). In Part 2000 (physical and aggregate properties), odor (2150) has been revised to supply new tables for odor identification. The salinity (2520) formula has been made compatible with conductivity nomenclature and quality control procedures have been updated and strengthened. Significant reworking of the introductory material has occurred in Part 3000 (metals); the introduction now includes a user guide to appropriate methods of metal analysis. A new section, inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS), has been added. Anodic stripping voltammetry (3130) has been expanded to include zinc. The sections on ICP, sample preparation, and specific metal analyses have been revised. Part 4000 (inorganic nonmetallic constituents) has been reviewed and includes new methods on flow injection analysis (4130), potassium permanganate (4500-KMnO4), and capillary ion electrophoresis (4140). Ozone (4500-O3) methods have been updated. Significant revisions also have been made in the nitrogen sections. Other sections have undergone minor revisions. Part 5000 (aggregate organic constituents) has significantly revised sections on chemical oxygen demand (5220), total organic carbon (5310) (from the Nineteenth Edition supplement), and dissolved organic halogen (5320). Freon has been mostly replaced by hexane in the oil and grease section (5520). In Part 6000 (individual organic compounds), a new section on volatile organic compounds has replaced a number of old sections and a major section on quality control has been added. Various editorial changes were made in Part 7000 (radioactivity) and a revision in gamma-emitting radionuclides (7120) was made. Part 8000 (toxicity testing) underwent major changes with new protocols for quality assurance (8020), P450 methodology (8070) from the Nineteenth Edition supplement, pore water test procedures (8080), protozoa (8310), rotifers (8420), Daphnia (8711), Ceriodaphnia (8712), mysids (8714), decapods (8740), echinoderm fertilization and development (8810), and fathead minnows (8911). Other sections have been revised significantly and illustrations of many test organisms have been added. Part 9000 (microbiological examination) has had major revisions to quality assurance and pathogenic bacteria (9260) and minor revisions in several other sections. Part 10000 (biological examination) has undergone minor revisions. Some new figures and illustrations of organisms have been added.
