NOTE: If the concentration (M) of any of the following is expeected to exceed the lead
ooncentnation(M)by 10-fold or more. add I rnL I M NgDTA to each flask before
dilution to volume: C -. POQ I -. F CH,COO-. if Car- or SQ, - are present In
104eld or greater excess, make ail standards and samples I % (wlw) In X133.
CALi®RATION AND QUAL" CONTROL:
11. Prepare a series of wolfing standards covering the range 0.25 to 20 pg/mL Po (2.5 to 200 yo
Pb per
sample).
a. Add aliquots of calibration stock solution to 100•mLvalumetriicfissiaa. Dilute to volume with 10%
I4NQ' . Srere The werltirrp standards In polyethylene buttles and prepare trash weekly.
b. Analyze the working standards together with The blanks and samples (ateps 14 and 15).
o. Prepare a otlibratlon graph of abso,bgnoe vs. solution concentration (pg/mL).
12. Aspirate a standard for every 10 samples to cheek for instrument drift.
13. Check recoveries with at least one spiked media blank per 10 samples. Use method of standard
additions to check for intettsrencaw. occasionally
M UREMEt4T:
14. Sept apsctrophotometer as apeoilied by the manufacturer end to Conditions on page 7002.1.
NOTE: An alternate wavelength to 217.0 nm [8J. Analyses at 217.0 nm have slightly greater
sensitivity, but poorer signal-to-noise ratio Dompared to 283.3 nm. Also, non-atomic
absorption is stgnillcantky greater at 217.0 MM. mat4ng the use of k r Hs continuum, or
Zeeman background correction mandatory at that wavelength,
16. Aspirate standeRq, samples, and blaniq- Record absorbance readings.
NOTE: if the absorbance valves for the samples are above the linear range of the standards,
dilute with 10% i4Nq, reenalyue, and apply the appropriate dilution factor in the
calculations,
CALCULATIONS:
16. Using the measured ebsoibences, calculate the correappndinQ oorr0sntrattons
