1、Designation: D 5088 02 (Reapproved 2008)Standard Practice forDecontamination of Field Equipment Used at Waste Sites1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5088; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea
2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the decontamination of field equip-ment used in the sampling of soils, soil gas, sludges, su
3、rfacewater, and ground water at waste sites which are to undergoboth physical and chemical analyses.1.2 This practice is applicable only at sites where chemical(organic and inorganic) wastes are a concern. It is not intendedfor use at radiological, mixed (chemical and radiological), orbiohazard site
4、s.1.3 Procedures are included for the decontamination ofequipment which comes into contact with the sample matrix(sample contacting equipment) and for ancillary equipmentthat has not contacted the portion of sample to be analyzed(non-sample contacting equipment).1.4 This practice is based on commonl
5、y recognized methodsby which equipment may be decontaminated. The proceduresdescribed for sample contacting equipment are commonlyprescribed, however there is a minimum of scientific data thatsupports these methods (Mickam et al. 19892, Parker34, 1995).Therefore the user is reminded of the importanc
6、e of QA/QCsamples that document decontamination effectiveness and thatthese samples can be used to modify or enhance decontamina-tion techniques. Decontamination at radiologically contami-nated sites should refer to Practice D 5608.1.5 This practice is applicable to most conventional sam-pling equip
7、ment constructed of metallic and synthetic materi-als. The manufacturer of a specific sampling apparatus shouldbe contacted if there is concern regarding the reactivity of adecontamination rinsing agent with the equipment.1.6 This practice offers an organized collection of informa-tion or a series o

20、53.4. Summary of Practice4.1 Two different procedures are presented for the decon-tamination of sample-contacting and non-sample contactingequipment. The procedures have been developed based on areview of current state and federal guidelines, as well as asummary of commonly employed procedures. In g
21、eneral,sample contacting equipment should be washed with a deter-gent solution followed by a series of control water, desorbingagents and deionized water rinses. Nonsample contactingequipment should be washed with a detergent solution andrinsed with control water. Although such techniques may bediff
22、icult to perform in the field, they may be necessary to mostaccurately evaluate low concentrations of the chemical con-stituent(s) of interest.4.2 Prior to initiating a field program that will involveequipment decontamination, a site specific equipment decon-tamination protocol should be prepared fo
23、r distribution to theindividuals involved with the particular sampling program.Information to be presented in the protocol should include:4.2.1 Site location and description,4.2.2 Statement of the sampling program objective anddesired precision and accuracy, that is, is sampling effort forgross qual
24、itative evaluation or for trace concentration, param-eter specific evaluations,4.2.3 Summary of available information regarding soiltypes, hydrogeology and anticipated chemistry of the materialsto be sampled,4.2.4 Listing of equipment to be used for sampling andmaterials needed for decontamination,4

Significance and Use5.1 An appropriately developed, executed and documentedequipment decontamination procedure is an integral and essen-tial part of was
27、te site investigations. The benefits of its useinclude:5.1.1 Minimizing the spread of contaminants within a studyarea and from site to site,5.1.2 Reducing the potential for worker exposure by meansof contact with contaminated sampling equipment, and5.1.3 Improved data quality and reliability.5.2 Thi
28、s practice is not a substitute for a well-documentedQuality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program. Be-cause the ultimate test of a decontamination procedure is itsability to minimize erroneous data, a reasonable QA/QCprogram must be implemented.5.3 This practice may not be applicable to all wast
29、e sites.When a sampling effort is completed to determine only thegeneral range of chemical concentrations of interest lessrigorous decontamination procedures can be adequate. Inves-tigators should have the flexibility to modify the decontamina-tion procedures with due consideration for the samplingo
30、bjective or if QA/QC documentation supports alternativedecontamination methods.5.4 At sites where the reactivity of sampling equipment todecontamination washes creates concern for the generation ofundesirable chemical by-products, the use of dedicated sam-pling equipment should be considered.5.5 Thi
31、s practice, where applicable, should be used before,between, and after the completion of sampling events.5.6 This practice is appropriate for use at sites wherechemical (organic and inorganic) contamination is known orexpected. The application of this practice to other types of sitesradiological, mi
32、xed (radiological and chemical), or biohazardcontaminated sites may not be applicable. The application ofthis practice to these types of sites should be undertaken withcare and consideration, along with QA/QC documentation thatsupports the effectiveness of these decontamination techniques.6.

48、gh internal mechanical workings (pump, houisng, impellers, etc.)can be very difficult to decontaminate. This should be considered when identifying an appropriate decontamination procedure for equipment with internal sample contactingparts.CThis step is used in removing inorganic contaminants and can
49、 be eliminated if they are not of concern.DData by Parker and Ranney 1997a, 1997b should show that solvent rinsing may not be needed.EData by Parker and Ranney 1997a, 1997b, show that oven drying may be more effective than an organic solvent rinse for removing sorbed organic contaminants.FExcessive heat that could damage the polymer should not be used. Check manufacturers recommendations for heat tolerance.D 5088 02 (2008)37.2.4 Rinse with control water.7.2.5 Rinse with organic desorbing agent (may be deleted ifsamples will not undergo organic chemical analyses).7.2.6 R
