Wet Lab Analy i <br /> s s Samples of paint are sent to the laboratory for analysis by atomic <br /> absorption spectrosopy. Be sure to use a lab certified by the state of California to test <br /> for lead. Paint samples should not be composited from various sources. <br /> Procedure for Wet Lab Analysis: <br /> 1. Use a clean, pocket knife or spatula to scrape off paint chips. If you are <br /> wearing disposable gloves you can pull off pieces of paint that are peeling and <br /> flaking with your hands. The paint sample should include all the layers of <br /> paint, not just the paint on the surface. The paint sample should not include <br /> adherent wood, plaster, or paper. _. <br /> 2. For each sample, collect paint chips totalling about 1 centimeter square. This <br /> is approximately the size of a thumb nail. A larger sample is desirable if it can <br /> be obtained without damaging the structure. <br /> I Place each sample of paint in a clean, plastic bag. Plastic "whirl-pak" bags are <br /> good for this purpose. <br /> 4. Label each sample with the sample location (i.e.,living room), the surface <br /> (i.e.,north window), the date, and the case identification number. <br /> 5. When all samples have been taken, wipe the pen knife or spatula clean with <br /> a paper towel, or wash with soap and water and dry. <br /> ve: hich <br /> t _ rfaces <br /> e <br /> t A <br /> Sze i.e., hollow <br /> V fe isregue a <br /> UTN <br /> c atory <br /> I - -r-= _._._ --... _ vas <br /> _ ead aitt�aSaFeineri�-fiicfi Fta --- axeri:_ the <br /> -00 <br /> I _ e project. - <br /> E.E.T.S. -DRAFT 512;39 Investigation o Lead Poisoning Cases <br /> f 8 <br /> Page - 5.13 <br />
