Summary of Practice4.1 Wipe samples of settled dust are collected on surfacesfrom areas of known dimensions wit
17、h wipes meeting Specifi-cation E 1792, using a specified pattern of wiping.4.2 The collected wipes are then ready for subsequentsample preparation and analysis by procedures such as Prac-tices E 1644, Practice E 1979, Practice E 2051, and TestMethod E 1613.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is
18、 intended for the collection of settled dustsamples in and around buildings and related structures for thesubsequent determination of lead content in a manner consis-tent with that described in the HUD Guidelines4and 40 CFR745.63 (EPA 403 Rule). The practice is meant for use in thecollection of sett
19、led dust samples that are of interest inclearance, hazard assessment, risk assessment, and other pur-poses.5.2 Use of different pressures applied to the sampled surfacealong with the use of different wiping patterns contribute tocollection variability. Thus, the sampling result can varybetween opera
20、tors performing collection from identical sur-faces as a result of collection variables. Collection for anygroup of sampling locations at a given sampling site is bestwhen limited to a single operator.5.3 This practice is recommended for the collection ofsettled dust samples from hard, relatively sm
21、ooth, nonporoussurfaces. This practice is less effective for collecting settleddust samples from surfaces with substantial texture such asrough concrete, brickwork, textured ceilings, and soft fibroussurfaces such as upholstery and carpeting.6. Apparatus and Materials6.1 Sampling TemplatesOne or mor
22、e of the following: A30 by 30 cm (approximately 1 ft2) reusable aluminum orplastic, or disposable cardboard or plastic template, (full-square, rectangular, square “U-shaped,” rectangular “U-shaped,” and “L-shaped”) or templates of alternative areashaving accurately known dimensions (see Notes 1 and
23、2).NOTE 1For most surfaces, it is recommended to collect settled dustfrom a minimum of a 100 cm2area to provide sufficient material forlaboratory analysis.5However, areas larger than 30 by 30 cm may beappropriate for surfaces having little or no visible settled dust, and asmaller sampling area may b
24、e appropriate for surfaces with very highlevels of visible settled dust.NOTE 2Templates should be capable of lying flat on a surface.6.2 Wipes, meeting the specifications of SpecificationE 1792; see 3.2.4 for definition.6.3 Sample Containers, resealable, rigid-walled, 50-mLminimum volume.NOTE 3Screw
25、-top plastic centrifuge tubes are an example of asuitable rigid-walled sample container.NOTE 4Use of a resealable plastic bag for holding and transportingthe settled dust wipe sample is not recommended due to the potentiallosses of settled dust within the plastic bag during transportation andlaborat
26、ory handling. Quantitative removal and processing of the settleddust wipe sample by the laboratory is significantly improved through theuse of resealable rigid-walled containers.6.4 Measuring Tool, tape or ruler, capable of measuring tothe nearest 61 mm.6.5 Plastic Gloves, powderless6.6 Cleaning Clo
27、ths, for cleaning of templates and otherequipment.NOTE 5Wipes used for dust sampling (see 6.2) can be used forcleaning templates and other sampling equipment, but other cleaningcloths or wipes not meeting the specifications of Specification E 1792 maybe suitable for this purpose.6.7 Adhesive Tape, s
28、uitable for securing the template(s) tothe surface(s) to be sampled, and for demarcating samplingareas where templates cannot be used.NOTE 6Duct or masking tape, for example, function well for thesepurposes.6.8 Disposable Shoe Covers, optional.7. Procedure7.1 Use one of the following two procedures
29、for collectingsettled dust samples from each sampling location. For wide,flat locations, use the template-assisted sampling procedure(see 7.1.1). For small locations (for example, a window sill ordoor jamb), use the confined-area sampling procedure (see7.1.2).NOTE 7Lead contamination problems during
30、 field sampling can besevere and may affect settled dust analysis results. Contamination can beminimized through frequent changing of gloves, use of shoe covers (see6.8), and regular cleaning of sampling equipment with cleaning cloths (see6.6). Use of disposable shoe covers between different buildin
31、gs andremoval of them prior to entering vehicles can be helpful to minimizeinadvertent transfer of settled dust from one location to another.7.1.1 Template-Assisted Sampling Procedure:7.1.1.1 Don a pair of clean, powderless, plastic gloves (see6.5 and Note 7).7.1.1.2 Carefully place a clean template

34、collection.7.1.1.3 Obtain a packaged wipe (see 6.2) and, if there is apossibility for the package to be contaminated with dust, cleanthe package with a cleaning cloth (see 6.6).7.1.1.4 Remove the wipe from its package, and inspect thewipe to ensure that it is fully wetted and not contaminated withfu
35、ngus, dust, or other material. Discard the wipe if it is foundto be too dry or contaminated, or both.7.1.1.5 Using an open flat hand with the fingers together,place the wipe on the surface to be sampled. Wipe the selectedsurface area, side to side, in an overlapping “S” or “Z” patternwhile applying
36、pressure to the fingertips (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).Wipe the surface so that the entire selected surface area iscovered. Perform the wiping procedure using the fingers andnot the palm of the hand. The front leading edge of the wipeshall always be pushed forward.7.1.1.6 Repeat 7.1.1.5 using a differen
37、t brand of wipe if thewipe curls up or significantly changes shape (wrinkles,crumples, kinks, and so forth) during the wipe process.NOTE 8Some surfaces may cause some specific brands of wipes tocurl up or otherwise significantly change shape during the wiping process,but may not affect other wipes.
38、A type of wipe that essentially maintainsit shape must be selected for each surface sampled.7.1.1.7 Fold the wipe in half with the collected dust sidefolded inward, and repeat the preceding wiping procedure(7.1.1.6) within the selected sampling area using an up anddown overlapping “S” or “Z” pattern
39、 (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 andNote 9).NOTE 9Wipes are folded to envelop the collected dust within thewipe, to avoid collected dust loss, and to expose a clean wipe surface forfurther dust collection. For areas containing large amounts of settled dust,care must be taken during wiping to capture all the
40、dust within the wipe.7.1.1.8 Fold the wipe in half again with the collected dustside folded inward, and repeat the wiping procedure one moretime, concentrating on collecting settled dust from all cornerswithin the selected surface area (see Note 9).7.1.1.9 Fold the wipe again with the collected dust
41、 sidefolded inward and insert the folded wipe into a samplecontainer (see 6.3).7.1.1.10 Label the sample container with sufficient informa-tion to uniquely and indelibly identify the sample, and recordthe dimensions (in centimetres) of the selected sampling area(the internal template dimensions). Di
42、scard the gloves.7.1.2 Confined Area Sampling Procedure:7.1.2.1 Don a pair of clean, powderless, plastic gloves (see6.5 and Note 7).7.1.2.2 Mark the defined area to be sampled with adhesivetape (see 6.7) being careful not to disturb the settled dust, andmeasure the area to be sampled using the measu
43、ring tool (see6.4).7.1.2.3 Obtain a packaged wipe (see 6.2) and, if there is apossibility for the package to be contaminated with dust, cleanthe package with a cleaning cloth (see 6.6).7.1.2.4 Remove the wipe from its package, and inspect thewipe to ensure that it is fully wetted and not contaminate
44、d withfungus, dust, or other material. Discard the wipe if it is foundto be too dry or contaminated, or both.7.1.2.5 Holding the fingers together and flat against theselected surface area, place the wipe on the surface to besampled. Wipe the measured surface in one direction. Applypressure to the fi
45、ngers while wiping the surface. Perform thewiping procedure using the fingers and not the palm of thehand. The front leading edge of the wipe shall always bepushed forward.7.1.2.6 Fold the wipe in half with the collected dust sidefolded inward. Repeat the preceding wiping procedure(7.1.2.5) in the r
46、everse direction within the selected samplingarea on one side of the folded wipe (see Note 9).7.1.2.7 Fold the wipe in half with the collected dust sidefolded inward and repeat the preceding wiping procedure(7.1.2.6) one more time, concentrating on collecting settleddust from all corners within the
47、selected sampling area (seeNote 9).Only the center of the wipe path is shown, not the entire wiping width. Fig. 1(a) shows the first “S” wipe pattern; Fig. 1(b), the second “S” wipe pattern; and Fig. 1(c),the final pattern that is concentrated on the edges and corners.FIG. 1 Schematic of a side-to-s
48、ide overlapping “S” wiping patternE17280337.1.2.8 Fold the wipe again with the sample side foldedinward and insert the folded wipe into a sample container.7.1.2.9 Label the sample container with sufficient informa-tion to uniquely and indelibly identify the sample. Measure andrecord the dimensions (
49、in centimetres) of the selected samplingarea (that is, the area actually wiped during sample collection).Discard the gloves.7.2 Collect field blanks at a minimum frequency of 5 % (or1 for every 20 field wipe samples collected). The minimumnumber of field blanks to collect for each batch of wipesamples used is three. Place field blanks in sample containersand label these samples in the same fashion as the collectedsurface dust samples (as per 7.1.1.10 or 7.1.2.9).7.3 Follow sampling chain of custody procedures to ensuresample traceability.
