GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS .
• Treat each P.E study sample the same way you would treat a
routine sample, i.e., usual analyst, usual analytical system,
usual procedures, etc.
• For each analyte you report, provide results of a single
analysis, as would be done with a routine sample.
• To request replacements for broken ampuls, FAX your request to
Terry Bundy, ManTech Environmental, ,(919) 406-2246; to obtain
answers to questions, call your regional or state coordinator
(see list attached to your cover letter). YOU MUST INCLUDE
THE US EPA ASSIGNED LAB CODE ON ANY WRITTEN REQUEST FOR
SAMPLES.
« Read instructions carefully before opening ampuls.
• For best results, ampul solutions and reagent water should be
at room temperature (near 20° Centigrade) when used.
« Amber-colored ampuls should be stored away from light until
the analyst is ready to use them.
• Cyanide ampuls should be stored away from ultraviolet
radiation (direct sunlight, etc.)
• . Open ampuls cautiously to avoid cuts or flying glass. A
suggested procedure is to wrap the ampul in cloth or a thick
paper towel and snap off the ampul top at the narrow part of
. the neck.
• Unless otherwise stated, samples ,need not be filtered.
• Use only Class A volumetrics.
"Reagent water" is equivalent to Type II Reagent -Water as
specified in ANSI/ASTM Standard D 1193-91.

TRACIE METALS - Continued
Notes:
• Because ICP is expected to be the only method approved for
boron determinations in drinking water and our sample design
may interfere with boron determinations with other
techniques, ICP methods should be used to determine boron.
• Samples, standards amd reagent water blanks should all have
the same acid matrix: The solution :resulting from the above
dilution will contain 0.15% v/v nitric acid; additional or
different acids may be used as appropriate for analytical
procedures or to match standards.
""• Because mercury is present as a mixture of organic and
inorganic forms, samples containing;mercury must be digested
before analysis. :
» Chromium should be determined only ^.s total chromium. When
chromium is analyzed with direct aspiration AA, use of an
oxidizing air-acetylene flame or' -(preferably), a :nitrous
oxide-acetylene flame may be necessary.
--•- Analytes will be present at concentrations quantifiable by
any approved method, with the exception of direct flame
atomic absorption, whenever that is:one of the approved
methods. ;
• If you do not get a definitive result using direct flame AA,
you should follow with one of the approved flameless AA or
ICP procedures so you can report a definitive.result for
evaluation.
• . Report results to three figures as micrograms per liter.
Ampuls contain nitric;acid.

LOW-LEVEL TURBIDITY (OPTIONAL)
The Microbial and Disinfectant/Disinfection By-products Advisory Committee has recommended that
water suppliers serving more than 10,000 people, who use conventional treatment with filtration (or direct
filtration) on a surface water source, be required to measure turbidity every 4 hours and that at least 95
percent of these measurements each month be less than or equal to 0.3 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU).
Previous WS studies have used turbidity samples below 0.5 NTU only a few times and have never used
samples below 0.35 NTU. However, the statistics from the available low-level turbidity data, obtained from
analyses of samples prepared from forrnazin, suggest some high bias and a relative standard deviation around
16 to 20 percent The purpose of this data collection effort, which will also occur as a part of WS041, is to
estimate the statistics of state-of-the-art measurement of turbidity at concentrations below 0.5 NTU in those
^ ,
If your facility might have to make turbidity measurements as a result of the proposed regulation,
please follow the sample preparation directions given below and measure the samples using your routine
turbidity method(s). The data you report for Samples 2 and 3 will NOT be included in the performance '
evaluation report you and certification authorities will receive at the end of the study, so it cannot be
considered when drinking water laboratory certification decisions are made. However, these data will be
summarized and reported in a separate memorandum report, without facility identification, a copy of which
you may request from your state or regional WS coordinator after the study.
SAMPLE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS !
To prepare turbidity Sample 2, fill a clean 2L volumetric flask approximately 3/4 full with ultra-low
turbidity water (see notes below), pipet 5.0 mL of the concentrate in the Turbidity 2 ampul into the flask and
bring to volume with ultra-low turbidity water. Transfer the first 2L volume to a clean, glass container
capable of being sealed and holding at least 4L, and repeat the process above to produce another 2L volume.
Transfer the second 2L portion to the 4L container, seal and mix by slowly inverting the container 3 times
(avoid adding bubbles). Treat Sample 2 as a sample ready for immediate low-level turbidity analysis. All
facilities are requested to analyze Sample 2 using their bench-top or portable instrument. Facilities with an
on-line instrument are also requested to use it to measure Sample 2.
For those low-level turbidity measurement systems capable of analyzing a sample of approximately 40
mL, prepare turbidity Sample 3 by emptying both of the Turbidity 3 ampuls you received into a clean beaker.
Treat Sample 3 as a sample ready for immediate low-level turbidity analysis.
NOTES:
• Calibrate your instrument and clean everything that will contact the sample, as directed by the
instrument manufacturer.
• Ultra-low turbidity water is produced by filtering reagent-grade water through a 0.22 urn or smaller
membrane, which should yield water with turbidity < 0.03 NTU.
• Whenever possible, report results to the nearest 0.001 NTU.

DIOXIN
Ampuls la and Ib containing methanol solutions of 2,3,7,8-
tetrachloro-p-dibenzodioxin (TCDD) are provided. Add
approximately 1 L of reagent water to a 2-L separatory funnel.
Pipet 50 /xL of the concentrate in ampul la and 50 /^L of the
concentrate in ampul Ib into the separatory funnel, and mix well,
NOTES:
Report the measured 2,3,7,8-TCDD concentration to three
figures in picogra.ms per liter.,
Analyze the sample using USEPA Method 1613, "Tetra- through
Octachlorinated Dioxins and Furans by Isotope Dilution
HRGC/HRMS," Revision A, April 1990.
Because only 2,3,7,8-TCDD is to be determined, the only
compounds that are necessary for calibration are 2,3,7,8-
TCDD, 13C12-2,3,7,8-TCDD, 37Cl4-2 , 3 , 7, 8-TCDD, and 13C12-1, 2 , 3 , 4-
TCDD, and only ions specified for these compounds need be
monitored during data acquisition..
Because drinking water samples are relatively free from
interferences, the optional clean-up steps listed in the
method should not be needed.
For calculations, assume a sample volume of 1000 mL.

o Count a fiber bundle as a single fiber with width equal
to an estimate of the mean bundle width and length
equal to the maximum length.
o Count individual asbestos fibers and bundles within
clusters and matrices, as long as they meet the above
definitions of fibers and bundles.
o Fibers that intersect the top and left sides of the
grid opening are counted and recorded as twice their
visible length. Fibers intersecting the bottom and
right sides of the grid opening are not recorded.
o Count only one end of each fiber to avoid possibly
counting a fiber more than once.

Fiber identification criteria: i
o Each fiber suspected to be chrysotile must first be
examined by electron diffraction (ED) following the
procedure in B'igure 15 of the method. If the
characteristic ED pattern is observed, the fiber shall
be classified as CD. If no pattern is observed or the
pattern is not distinctive, the fiber shall be examined
by EDXA (energy dispersive x-ray analysis) and
classified according to the method. Only chrysotile
fibers classified as CD, CMQ or CDQ should be included
in the calculation of the concentration.
o Each fiber suspected to be amphibole must first be
examined by electron diffraction following the
procedure in Figure 18 of the method. Each fiber must
then be examined by EDXA. If a random orientation
electron diffraction pattern showing a 0.53_-nm layer
spacing is obtained and the elements and peak areas of
the EDXA spectrum correspond to those of a known
amphibole asbestos, the fiber shall be classified as
ADQ, If the random orientation electron diffraction
pattern cannot be obtained, is incomplete/ or is not
recognizable as a non-amphibole pattern but the
elements and the peak areas of the "EDXA" spectrum
correspond to those of a known amphibole asbestos, the
fiber shall be classified as !'AQ" . Only amphibole
fibers classified as "ADQ", "AQ", "AZQ", "AZZQ" or
identified by zone axis electron diffraction pattern,
should be included in the calculation of.the
concentration. :
A calibrated magnification of at least 10,OOOX ± 5% is
adequate for counting fibers over 10 jitm in length. A
minimum 250-nm spot size is adequate for this analysis.
The mass concentration of asbestos: is not needed.
Calculation of results. The concentration of asbestos in a
given sample is calculated using the following formula:
no str x efa
GO x GOA x V x :1000
i
where ;
no str = number of asbestos fibers counted
efa = effective filter area of the sampling filter
in square millimeters

Carcinogenic Data '
Acetone is not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH.
Primary Routes of Entry
Acetone may exert its effect;; through inhalation, skin absorption, and ingestion.
Industrial Exposure; Route of Exposure/Signs and Symptoms
Inhalation: • Exposure can cause, eye, nose, and throat irritation, headache,
nausea, dizziness and narcosis.
Eye Contact: Liquid and high vapor concentration can cause irritation.
-Skin Contact: Prolonged-or repeated skin contact can cause irritation
and dermatitis through defatting of skin.
Ingestion: Symptom information is inadequate/unknown.
Effects of Overexposure ;
Acetone is a mild eye and mucous membrane irritant, primary skin irritant, and
central nervous system depressant. Acute exposure irritates the eyes and upper
respiratory tract. Direct skin contact produces dermatitis, characterized by dryness
and erythema. High concentrations produce narcosis and hypoglycemia.
Medical Condition Aggravated by Exposure ,
Preclude from exposure those individuals susceptible to dermatitis.
-------
Emergency First Aid
Inhalation: Immediately remove to fresh air. If not breathing, administer
mouth-to-mouth rescue breathing. If there is no pulse
administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Contact
physician immediately.
Eye Contact: Rinse with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes.
Get emergency medical assistance.
Skin Contact: Flush thoroughly for at' least *15 minutes. Wash affected
skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing
and shoes. Wash clothing before re-use, and discard
contaminated shoes. Get emergency medical assistance.
Ingestion: Call local Poison Control Center for assistance. Contact
physician immediately. Never induce vomiting or give
anything by mouth to a victim unconscious or having
convulsions.
VI. Safety Measures and Equipment_
Ventilation: Adequate ventilation is required to protect personnel from
exposure to chemical vapors exceeding the PEL and to
minimize fire hazards. The choice of ventilation equipment,
either local or general, will depend on the conditions of
use, quantity of material, and other operating parameters.
Respiratory: Use approved-respirator equipment.. Follow NIOSH and
equipment manufacturer's recommendations to determine
appropriate equipment (air-purifying, air-supplied, or
self-contained breathing apparatus).
Safety glasses are considered minimum protection. Goggles
or face shield may be necessary depending on quantity
of material and conditions of use.
Skin: Protective gloves and clothing are recommended. The
choice of material must be based on chemical resistance
and other user requirements. Generally, neoprene or rubber
offers acceptable chemical resistance. Individuals who
are acutely and specifically sensitive to acetone may require
additional protective equipment.
Storage: Acetone should be protected from temperature extremes
and direct sunlight. Proper storage of acetone must be
determined based on other materials stored and their hazards
and potential chemical incompatibility. In general, acetone
should be stored in an acceptably protected and secure
flammable liquid storage room.
-------
Other:
Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should
be available in the vicinity of any potential exposure. Ground
and bond metal containers to;minimize static sparks.
VII. Spill and Disposal Data_
Spill Control:
Waste Disposal:
Protect from ignition. Wear protective clothing and use
approved respirator equipment. Absorb spilled material
In an absorbent recommended for solvent spills and remove
to a siafe location for disposal by approved methods. If
released to the environment, comply with all regulatory
notification requirements.
CERCLA Reportable Quantity: 5,000 IDS.
Dispose of acetone as an JEPA hazardous waste. Contact
state environmental agency for listing of licensed hazardous
waste disposal facilities and applicable regulations.
Hazardous waste numbers: U002(lgnitable); F003(Ignitable),

GENERAL Hasna3CTICiSiS FOR REEOKTIMj RESULTS
REPORTING INSTODCZECNS
® Your seven-character EPA lab identification code is shown on the label
affixed to page 1 of the data reporting form. This is a permanent
ranter that was assigned by the USEPA the first time your lab
participated in a performance evaluation study and mist be entered at
the top of each page of the data report form. Make any necessary
changes to the name/address information on the label.
e Along with each analyticail result, report the two-digit code for the
analytical method used to obtain that result in the column narked "MC"
(see analyte/trethod list). This is not an official list of approved
methods; it is simply an attempt to facilitate your reporting of the
method you used. When code 99 is used to indicate that an "other"
method was used, the method must be described briefly on a separate
sheet attached to the report form. Do not submit a written copy of an
"other" method to EPA. If an "other" atomic absorption method was
used, indicate whether it: involved aix-aicetylene, nitrous oxide-
acetylene, platform, or non-platform use;.
• Type or clearly print analytical results in the column marked
"Quantity" using specif ied units in the appropriate blocks (right
justify results) on the forms provided.
'• Do not enter dashes or other characters ±n place of a value. If an
analyte is not detected, either leave the appropriate reporting area
blank or report your detection limit along with a less than (<)
symbol. Do not use a less than or greater than (>) symbol with a
result unless it is unavoidable, for example, when reporting a detec-
tion limit.
® Report a decimal point in its own separate block.
e Report all results to three figures. ;
• Except for methods such as for trace metals analyses in which multiple
aspirations or measurements are routinely used to determine a
concentration, report results of a single determination, not an
average of multiple determinations.
• Data not reported accordling to instructions included in this package
will not be evaluated.
® Provide any notes or conments on a separate sheet of paper attached to
the report form.
