Significance and Use4.1 This guide describes approaches which can be used todetermine surface sampling strategies before any actual surfacesampling occurs. The strategy selection process needs toconsider a number of factors, including, but not lim
37、ited to,purpose for sampling, fitness of the sampling strategy for thatpurpose, data quality objectives and how the data will be used,ability to execute the selected strategy, and ability of theanalytical laboratory (fixed-site or in-field) to analyze thesamples once they are collected.4.2 For the p
38、urposes of sampling, and for the materialssampled, surface sampling strategies are matters of choice.Workplace sampling may be performed for single or multiplepurposes. Conflicts may arise when a single sampling strategyis expected to satisfy multiple purposes.4.2.1 Limitations of cost, space, power
39、 requirements, equip-ment, personnel, and analytical methods need to be consideredto arrive at an optimum strategy for each purpose.4.2.2 A strategy intended to satisfy multiple purposes willtypically be a compromise among several alternatives, and willtypically not be optimal for any one purpose.4.
40、2.3 The purpose or purposes for sampling should beexplicitly stated before a sampling strategy is selected. Goodpractice, regulatory and legal requirements, cost of the sam-pling program, and the usefulness of the results may bemarkedly different for different purposes of sampling.4.3 This guide is
41、intended for those who are preparing toevaluate a workplace environment by collecting samples ofmetals or metalloids on surfaces, or who wish to obtain anunderstanding of what information can be obtained by suchsampling.4.4 This guide cannot take the place of sound professionaljudgment in developmen
42、t and execution of any samplingstrategy. In most instances, a strategy based on a standardpractice or method will need to be adjusted due to conditionsencountered in the field. Documentation of any professionaljudgments applied to development or execution of a samplingstrategy is essential.4.5 This
43、guide should not be used as a stand-alone docu-ment to evaluate any given contaminant or chemical species.4.6 The surface sampling techniques described in this guideare intended for the determination of metals and metalloids onsurfaces, or for the determination of loadings of embeddedmetallic residu
44、es in surface coverings. These techniques maynot accurately reflect the transferability or bioavailability ofsuch residues by way of dermal contact or inhalation ofresuspended respirable dust.5. Surface SamplingGeneral5.1 Surface sampling results are one of many sources ofinformation about health an
45、d safety conditions in a workplace.Information obtained from surface sampling should not be usedto the exclusion of other information. Additional sources ofinformation may, as applicable, include air sampling, bioassayand biomonitoring results, clinical observations, quality andprocess control data,
46、 records of facility operations, and mate-rial balance studies.5.2 Agreement among separately obtained sources of infor-mation should increase confidence in the interpretation ofworkplace hazard assessments. Disagreement should be causefor concern, and should result in efforts to determine why thedi
47、sagreement occurred.5.3 The factors discussed in Sections 6 through 10 of thisguide are interdependent and may need to be applied in aniterative fashion to develop an optimum strategy.6. Purposes for Surface Sampling6.1 General considerationsPurposes for surface samplingare based on the following ge
48、neral considerations:6.1.1 Drivers for sampling; that is, the “why” for perform-ing the sampling campaign. Generally, the “why” should fallinto one of the following three areas:6.1.1.1 Health impact, or evaluation of the potential healthrisk from the contaminant or chemical species.6.1.1.2 Hazard ma
49、nagement, or evaluation of the source ofthe contaminant or chemical species, extent of exposure area,and effectiveness of controls.6.1.1.3 Hazard compliance, or evaluation of complianceagainst regulations or policies.6.1.2 Goals for the sampling campaign, which are based onhow the data will be used.6.1.3 Data quality objectives, which define how well thecollection and analysis of the samples must be performed.6.1.4 Available resources to conduct the sampling cam-paign, laboratory analyses, and data evaluation.6.2 ExamplesThe following are examp
