Summary of Practice4.1 Soil samples are collected using coring or scoopingmethods.5. Significance and Use5.1 Although this pr
9、actice is intended for the collection ofsoil samples from areas in and around buildings, this practicemay also be used to collect soil samples from other areas andenvironments.5.2 This practice limits soil collection to approximately thetop 1.5 cm of soil surface.5.3 These samples are collected in a
10、 manner that will permitsubsequent digestion and determination of lead using labora-tory analysis techniques such as Inductively Coupled PlasmaAtomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) and Flame AtomicAbsorption Spectrometry (FAAS) (see Test Method E 1613).6.

Procedure for Core Sampling8.1 General Comments:8.1.1 Coring methods are effective for collection fromdense, hard, or sticky soils. Coring methods are not intendedfor collection of loose, sandy soils (see Note 2).NOTE 2C
22、oring methods are more effective than scooping methods forthe collection of reproducible replicate samples. Coring methods have theadvantage of sampling a reproducible cross-sectional area and depth.8.2 The following procedure is for collection of soils usinga coring method at a given sample locatio
23、n within a samplingsite.8.2.1 Don a pair of clean, powderless plastic gloves (see6.6.1).8.2.2 If needed, clean the coring tool using cloths, drinkingwater, or both.8.2.3 Using a clean plunger (without stop), push the remain-ing 1.5 cm section of the core sample into a soil collectioncontainer.8.2.4
24、Place the core sample into a soil collection container.8.2.5 Collect two more soil cores, at a minimum, within a0.3 m (1 ft) diameter circle around the location where the firstcore was taken using the same procedure (8.2.3). Place each ofthese cores into the same soil collection container used for t
25、hefirst core.8.2.6 If the soil collection container used is a plastic bag,place the bag containing the sample in an additional bag, thatis, double-bag the sample.8.2.7 Label the soil collection container with sufficientinformation to uniquely identify the sample.8.2.8 Discard the gloves in the trash
26、 bag.8.2.9 Don a pair of clean, powderless plastic gloves. Cleanthe coring tool and plungers using cloths, drinking water, orboth, until visibly clean. Discard the cloths and gloves in atrash bag.9. Procedures for Scoop Sampling9.1 General Comments:9.1.1 Scooping methods are effective for collection
27、 fromsemisoft, sticky, and loose sandy soils (see Note 2). Scoopingmethods are not intended for the collection of soils from hardsoils.9.1.2 The scooping methods described here may result incollection bias toward increased amounts of surface soil asopposed to subsurface soil because of the curvature
28、 of thecollection tools.9.2 The following procedures are for collection of soilsusing scoop sampling methods.9.3 Scoop Sampling Using a Rigid-Walled Container:9.3.1 Don a pair of clean, powderless, plastic gloves (see6.6.1).9.3.2 Determine the proper burying depth of the containerneeded to collect a
29、pproximately the top 1.5 cm of soil using ameasuring tape (see Note 3).NOTE 3For example; if the container is about 3 cm in diameter, thenthe proper burying depth during scooping is to insert the container into thesoil until the soil surface is about even with the center of the container.9.3.3 Inser
30、t the open end of the container into the soil at thesampling location to the desired depth as determined in 9.3.2.Collect the soil into the container by pushing or pulling itthrough the soil surface while maintaining the burying depth inthe soil. Move the container a distance of 10 to 20 cm (4 to 8i
31、n.) across the soil surface to complete collection of the soil.9.3.4 Remove the container from the ground and wipe offthe outside of the container with a gloved finger. Place thesample into a soil collection container.9.3.5 Collect two more soils samples, at a minimum, withina 0.3-m (1-ft) diameter
32、circle around the location where thefirst scoop sample was taken using the same procedure(9.3.2-9.3.4). Place each of these scoop samples into the samesoil collection container used for the first one.9.3.6 If the soil collection container used is a plastic bag,place the bag containing the sample int
33、o an additional bag, thatis, double-bag the sample.9.3.7 Label the collection container with sufficient informa-tion to uniquely identify the sample.9.3.8 Discard the gloves in the trash bag.9.4 Scoop Sampling Using a Spoon:9.4.1 Don a pair of clean, powderless, plastic gloves (see6.6.1).E17270529.4
34、.2 Using a measuring tape and a clean spoon, dig a smalltest hole adjacent to the sampling location to the depth of 1.5cm. Use this hole as a visual aid during soil collection to helplimit collection to a depth of 1.5 cm.9.4.3 Clean the spoon using cloths, water, or both.9.4.4 Collect soil into a so
35、il collection container by scoop-ing with the spoon down to the depth indicated by the test hole(see 9.4.2). Continue to collect soil until a cylindrical hole ofapproximately 5 cm diameter and 1.5 cm depth has beencreated.9.4.5 Collect soil from a minimum of two more locationswithin a 0.3 m (1 ft) d
36、iameter circle around the first samplelocation using the same procedure (9.4.1-9.4.4). Place theseadditional scoop samples into the same soil collection con-tainer used for the first sample.9.4.6 If the soil collection container used is a plastic bag,place the bag containing the sample into an addit
37、ional bag, thatis, double-bag the sample.9.4.7 Label the soil collection container with sufficientinformation to uniquely identify the sample.9.4.8 Discard the gloves in a trash bag.9.4.9 Don a pair of clean, powderless, plastic gloves. Cleanthe spoon using cloths, drinking water, or both. Discard t
38、hecloths and gloves in a trash bag.10. Record Keeping10.1 Records shall be maintained in accordance with Prac-tice E 2239, and shall include a copy of the field collectionreport.11. Report11.1 Field data related to sample collection shall be docu-mented in a sample log form or field notebook (see No
