Summary of Practice4.1 A dust wipe sample is digested using hot plate typeheating with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The digestateis diluted to final volume prior to
20、lead measurement.NOTE 1The procedure in this practice is based on U.S. EPA SW846Method 3050, NIOSH 7082, and NIOSH 7105.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended for the digestion of lead in dustwipe samples collected during various lead hazard activitiesperformed in and around buildings
21、and related structures.5.2 This practice is also intended for the digestion of lead indust wipe samples collected during and after building renova-tions.5.3 This practice is applicable to the digestion of dust wipesamples that have or have not been collected in accordancewith Practice E1728 using wi
22、pes that may or may not conformto Specification E1792.5.4 This practice is applicable to the digestion of dust wipesamples that were placed in either hard-walled, rigid containerssuch as 50-mL centrifuge tubes or flexible plastic bags.NOTE 2Due to the difficulty in performing quantitative transfers
23、ofsome samples from plastic bags, hard-walled rigid containers such as50-mL plastic centrifuge tubes are recommended for sample collection.5.5 Digestates prepared according to this practice are in-tended to be analyzed for lead concentration using spectromet-ric techniques such as Inductively Couple
24、d Plasma AtomicEmission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) and Flame Atomic Absorp-tion Spectrometry (FAAS) (see Test Method E1613), or usingelectrochemical techniques such as anodic stripping voltam-metry (see Practice E2051).5.6 This practice is not capable of determining lead boundwithin matrices, such as si
25、lica, that are not soluble in nitricacid.5.7 This practice is capable of determining lead boundwithin paint.6.

Sample Preparation Procedure8.1 Sample Extraction:8.1.1 Treat each sample in a batch equally.8.1.2 Quantitatively transfer the contents of the dust-wipesample container to a labeled beaker as follows:8.1.2.1 Carefully open the container, remove the foldedwipe using a

35、r is a hard-walled, rigidcontainers such as a plastic centrifuge tube, rinse out the insideof the container into the beaker with two small volumes (2 to3 mL) of water using a squirt bottle filled with ASTM Type Iwater.8.1.2.3 If the sample container is a flexible plastic bag andmaterial appears to b

Document observations of potential loss of sampledue to residue in the container for later reporting with theresults of the
37、 lead analysis.8.1.3 Add 25 mL of 1:1 nitric acid:water to the beaker,gently swirl to mix, and cover with a watch glass. Gently heatthe sample to 85 to 100C using the hot plate and reflux for 10to 15 min without boiling. Estimate and monitor the tempera-ture of the sample solution by having a thermo
38、meter inside abeaker or flask containing a small volume (about 25 mL) ofwater on the hot plate (see Note 4).NOTE 4A hot plate surface temperature of 120 to 140C will yield asample digestate temperature of 85 to 100C.8.1.4 Using a glass rod, push the wipe down into thedigestion solution periodically
39、to effect efficient extraction.(CautionSome wipes break down into a gelatinous residuethat readily bumps or spatters, or both. Heating should beslowed with these materials.)8.1.5 Allow the sample to cool to near room temperature,add 10 mL of concentrated nitric acid, replace the watch glass,and refl
40、ux for 30 min without boiling.8.1.6 Remove the watch glass and allow the solution toevaporate to approximately 10 mL without boiling (see Notes5 and 6). Allow the sample to cool to near room temperatureafter evaporation to approximately 10 mL.NOTE 5Exercise care when removing the watch glass. Avoid
41、leadcontamination problems by placing it upside down on new clean labora-tory wipes.NOTE 6Boiling of the sample should be avoided because of potentialsample losses due to splattering and cross-contamination problems. Thesame problems can be experienced if samples are allowed to evaporate todryness.8
42、.1.7 After the sample has cooled to near room temperature,add 5 mLof water and 5 mLof 30 % hydrogen peroxide. Coverthe beaker with the watchglass and return the covered beaker tothe hot plate for warming and to start the peroxide reaction.Take care to ensure that losses do not occur due to vigorouse
43、ffervescence during heating. Heat until effervescence subsidesand cool the beaker to near room temperature.8.1.8 Remove the watch glass and continue heating theacid-peroxide digestate carefully until the volume has beenreduced to approximately 10 mL (see Notes 5 and 6).8.1.9 Allow the digestate to c
44、ool to near room temperature,rinse the beaker walls and bottom of the watch glass withwater, and quantitatively transfer through a funnel equippedwith a fast filter into a 100-mL volumetric flask (see Note 6).If a large amount of undissolved material remains in thebeaker, rinse this residue as many
45、times as necessary to transfersolubilized lead into the 100 mL volumetric flask. Dilute tovolume with water and swirl to mix.8.1.9.1 The diluted digestate solution contains approxi-mately 10 % (v/v) nitric acid. Calibration standards used forinstrumental measurement should be made with this level of
46、nitric acid.NOTE 7The wipe material may or may not be completely solubilized.Many types of wipes contain materials that do not dissolve in nitric acid.9. Quality Assurance9.1 Quality Control Samples:9.1.1 Reagent Blank SamplesProcess reagent blanks ac-cording to the frequency listed in Table 1. Subm

48、s (thatis, blank wipes) at the frequency listed in Table 1, expressedthrough subsequent analysis as percent lead recovery relativeto the true spiked value. Use blank wipes provided by fieldpersonnel who submitted the dust wipe samples (see Note 8).If the number of blank wipes provided by field perso
49、nnel isinsufficient, use wipes that conform to Specification E1792.9.1.2.1 To the extent possible, the brand or type of blankwipe used should be the same as that used for the collection ofthe dust wipe samples.9.1.2.2 Since wipe samples cannot be split uniformly, blankwipes are used for non-spiked, spiked, and spiked duplicatesamples.9.1.2.3 Preparation of Spiked and Spiked DuplicateSamplesFor a blank wipe targeted for spiking, add anappropriate volume of a lead standard stock solution to abeaker that contains a blank wipe (see Note
