What is Method 6?

Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Stationary Sources

A gas sample is extracted from the sampling point in the stack. The SO2 and the sulfur
trioxide, including those fractions in any sulfur acid mist, are separated. The SO2 fraction is
measured by the barium-thorin titration method.

For more information and documents about Method 6, please consult the EPA's Method 6 webpage.
