Designation:E 1741 00An American National StandardStandard Practice forPreparation of Airborne Particulate Lead Samples CollectedDuring Abatement and Construction Activities forSubsequent Analysis by Atomic Spectrometry1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1741;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the preparation of airborne particu-late samples collected during the abatement of lead hazards forlead analysis in and around buildings and structures.1.2 This practice describes the digestion procedures forairborne particulate lead samples that are collected on celluloseester membrane filters during abatement and constructionactivities.The practice is intended for use with airborneparticulate lead samples that are prepared for subsequentanalysis by laboratory-based quantitative analytical methods.1.3 This practice covers the general considerations forquantitative sample digestion for total recoverable lead inairborne particulate using hot plate or microwave heatingtechniques.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to theprocedure section of this practice.This standard does notpurport to address all of the safety concerns,if any,associatedwith its use.It is the responsibility of the user of this standardto establish appropriate safety and health practices anddetermine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior touse.Specific hazard statements are given in Section 8,9.3.1.6,and 9.3.2.6.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 1129 Terminology Relating to Water2D 1193 Specification for Reagent Water2D 1356 Terminology Relating to Sampling and Analysis ofAtmospheres3D 3335 Test Method for Concentrations of Lead,Cadmium,and Cobalt in Paint by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy4D 4185 Practice for Measurement of Metals in WorkplaceAtmosphere by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry3D 4309 Practice for Sample Digestion Using Closed VesselMicrowave Heating Technique for the Determination ofTotal Recoverable Metals in Water2E 1605 Terminology Relating to Abatement of Hazardsfrom Lead-Based Paint in Buildings and Related Struc-tures5,62.2U.S.Code of Federal Regulations:7CFR 1910.1025,Volume 29;OSHA Standard for Lead inConstructionCFR 1030.10,Volume 21;U.S.Dept.of Health and HumanServices StandardCFR Volume 47,FCC Rule Part 18,Federal Communica-tions Commission Standard3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to thepreparation of atmospheric samples that are not given here,refer to Terminology D 1129,D 1356,or E 1605.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 batcha group of field or quality control samples thatare processed together using the same reagents and equipment.3.2.2 digestatean acidified aqueous solution that resultsfrom digestion of the sample.3.2.3 digestionthe sample preparation process which willsolubilize(extract)targeted analytes present in the sample,andresults in an acidified aqueous solution called the digestate.3.2.4 extractionthe dissolution of target analytes from asolid source matrix into a liquid form.During sample diges-tion,target analytes are extracted(solubilized)into an acidicsolution.3.2.5 field blanka sampling device(filter holder contain-ing filter)that is handled in the same manner as field samples,except that no air is drawn through it.1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee E-6 on Performanceof Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.23 on Lead PaintAbatement.Current edition approved Jan.10,2000.Published April 2000.Originallypublished as ES 33 94.Last previous edition E 1741 95.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 11.01.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 11.03.4Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 06.01.5Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 04.11.6ASTM Standards on Lead-Based Paint Abatement in Buildings,1994,availablefrom ASTM,100 Barr Harbor Drive,West Conshohocken,PA 19428.7Available from Office of the Federal Register,National Archives RecordsAdministration,Superintendent of Documents,U.S.Government Printing Office,Washington,DC 20401.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.3.2.6 filter holdera plastic holder that supports the filtermedium upon which airborne particulate matter is collected.This device is also often referred to as a filter 88cassette.”3.2.7 method(reagent)blanka reagent,without analyteadded,that is analyzed to determine its contribution to the totalblank(background)reading.3.2.8 non-spiked samplea blank filter sample that istargeted for addition of analyte but which is not fortified withall the target analytes before sample preparation.For filters
