Standard Practice for Hot Plate Digestion of Dust Wipe Samples for the Determination of Lead

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This practice is intended for the digestion of lead in dust wipe samples collected during various lead hazard activities performed in and around buildings and related structures.

5.2 This practice is also intended for the digestion of lead in dust wipe samples collected during and after building renovations.

5.3 This practice is applicable to the digestion of dust wipe samples that have or have not been collected in accordance with Practice E1728/E1728M using wipes that may or may not conform to Specification E1792.

5.4 This practice is applicable to the digestion of dust wipe samples that were placed in either hard-walled, rigid containers such as 50-mL centrifuge tubes or flexible plastic bags.

Note 2: Due to the difficulty in performing quantitative transfers of some samples from plastic bags, hard-walled rigid containers such as 50-mL plastic centrifuge tubes are required in Practice E1728/E1728M for sample collection.

5.5 Digestates prepared according to this practice are intended to be analyzed for lead concentration using analytical techniques such as Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES), Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS), and Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) (see Test Methods D8568, E1613, E3193, and E3203), or using electrochemical techniques such as anodic stripping voltammetry (see Practice E2051).

5.6 This practice is not capable of determining lead bound within matrices, such as silica, that are not soluble in nitric acid.

5.7 This practice is capable of determining lead bound within paint.
