Lead
Sampling & Analysis
Lead comes in the form a heavy, gray, soft, ductile metal. It had been added to paints and automobile gasoline, as well as used in water/plumbing pipes, but as those uses have been outlawed across Europe, North and South American and much of Asia, it is used primarily in lead-acid batteries.
The substance enters the body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin/eye contact. It is a highly toxic substance. It causes weakness/exhaustion, insomnia, facial pallor, anorexia, malnutrition, constipation, abdominal pain, anemia, tremor, kidney disease, hypertension, tremor, paralysis of the outer extremities, and permanent brain damage.
Symbols Key
: Preferred method.
: Ship overnight refrigerated.
: Call in advance of sampling to order media.
: A three sample minimum submittal is required.
: Collect using 2 tubes in a series.
: 3M recommended maximum sampling hours.
: Subcontracted analysis.
: Protect samples from light.
: Immediately after sampling remove from cassette and place in glass vial.
: Please send, under separate cover, a sample (bulk) of your particular solvent for use as a reference standard. The bulk sample will be charged the analysis price. Additional analyses and fees may be required to determine the DE for results that do not match a common standard.
: Reported results reflect elemental analysis of the requested metals. Certain compounds may not be solubilized during digestion, resulting in data that may be biased low.
: Analyte is referenced in the published method. If more than one published method is cited, the analyte is referenced in at least one of the methods.
Compatibility Codes
A: Charcoal and carbon disulfide desorption.
B: Treated XAD-2 (2-(hydroxymethyl) piperidine and toluene desorption.
C: Silica gel and 95% ethanol desorption.
D: Tenax and carbon tetrachloride desorption.
E: OVS Sampler and toluene desorption.
F: Charcoal and 5% methanol in methylene chloride.
G: Treated GFF (1-(2 pyridyl) piperazine) and acetonitrile/dimethyl sulfoxide desorption.
U: Universal Solvent GC Method.
