Designation:E172810Standard Practice forCollection of Settled Dust Samples Using Wipe SamplingMethods for Subsequent Lead Determination1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1728;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()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the collection of settled dust onsurfaces using the wipe sampling method.These samples arecollected in a manner that will permit subsequent extractionand determination of lead using laboratory analysis techniquessuch as atomic spectrometry or electroanalysis.1.2 This practice does not address the sampling designcriteria(that is,sampling plan which includes the number andlocation of samples)that are used for clearance,lead hazardevaluation,risk assessment,and other purposes.To provide forvalid conclusions,sufficient numbers of samples should beobtained as directed by a sampling plan.1.3 This practice contains notes that are explanatory and arenot part of the mandatory requirements of this practice.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D4840 Guide for Sample Chain-of-Custody ProceduresE1605 Terminology Relating to Lead in BuildingsE1613 Test Method for Determination of Lead by Induc-tively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry(ICP-AES),Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry(FAAS),or Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spec-trometry(GFAAS)TechniquesE1644 Practice for Hot Plate Digestion of Dust WipeSamples for the Determination of LeadE1792 Specification for Wipe Sampling Materials for Leadin Surface DustE1979 Practice for Ultrasonic Extraction of Paint,Dust,Soil,and Air Samples for Subsequent Determination ofLeadE2051 Practice for the Determination of Lead in Paint,Settled Dust,Soil and Air Particulate by Field-PortableElectroanalysis(Withdrawn 2010)32.2 Federal Regulations:440 CFR 745.63 U.S.Environmental Protection Agency Fed-eral Register,Vol 66,No.4,5 Jan.2001,p.12063.Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms not listed here,see TerminologyE1605.3.2 Definitions:3.2.1 batch,na group of field or quality control(QC)samples that are collected or processed together at the sametime using the same reagents and equipment.3.2.2 sampling location,na specific area within a sam-pling site that is subjected to sample collection.3.2.2.1 DiscussionMultiple sampling locations are com-monly designated for a single sampling site(see 3.2.3).3.2.3 sampling site,na local geographic area that containsthe sampling locations(see 3.2.2).3.2.3.1 DiscussionA sampling site is generally limited toan area that is easily covered by walking.3.2.4 wipe,na disposable towellette that is moistened witha wetting agent.E17923.2.4.1 DiscussionThese towellettes are used to collect asample of settled dust on a surface for subsequent leadanalysis.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Perfor-mance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.23 on LeadHazards Associated with Buildings.Current edition approved Oct.1,2010.Published November 2010.Originallyapproved in 1994.Last previous edition approved in 2003 as E1728 03.DOI:10.1520/E1728-10.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA),ArielRios Bldg.,1200 Pennsylvania Ave.,NW,Washington,DC 20460,http:/www.epa.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.3 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.3.1 field blank,na wipe(see 3.2.4)that is exposed to thesame handling as field samples except that no sample iscollected(no surface is actually wiped).3.3.1.1 DiscussionAnalysis results from field blanks pro-vide information on the analyte background level in the wipecombined with the potential contamination experienced bysamples collected within the batch(see 3.2.1)resulting fromhandling.4.Summary of Practice4.1 Wipe samples of settled dust are collected on surfacesfrom areas of known dimensions with wipes meeting Specifi-cation E1792,using a specified pattern of wiping.4.2 The collected wipes are then ready for subsequentsample prepar
