"The most commonly used methods for quantifying VOCs in gas streams are in the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 60) Appendix A, Methods 18, 25, and 25A. Each method has advantages and disadvantages relative to the other methods. The choice of measurement and reporting techniques depends on the purpose that the data will serve. Due to differing analytical limitations for each of the VOC test methods, all sources may not be able to use the same test method and data manipulation procedures."
