Proposed Method
On July 7, 1998 EPA proposed a method that will improve its capability to accurately measure available cyanide in wastewater through use of a ligand exchange/flow injection technique. This method offers an alternate approach to testing for available cyanide and is being proposed for approval for use in wastewater at 40 CFR Part 136.
