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.

                          TRACE METALS
     Two ampuls containing reagent watet solutions of trace
metals are provided.  Ampuls 1 and 2 contain 5% nitric acid (v/v)
solutions that are to be used to prepare two samples for deter-
mination of the 16 metals listed in the•table below.

                          MULTI - ELEMENTS'

     To prepare sample 1, fill a 1-L volumetric flask
approximately 3/4 full with reagent water, pipet 10.0 mL (which
contains 0.5 mL of concentrated nitric acid) from ampul 1 and 1.0
mL of trace-metal-grade concentrated nitric acid into the flask,
dilute to volume with reagent water, and mix well.  For sample 2,
repeat the procedure using ampul 2.  The resulting samples
contain 0.15% nitric acid and should be'analyzed for the

                     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.

     ADIPATE, PHTHALATE, AND POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBON

     Two ampuls are provided; one contains an acetone solution of
di(2-ethylhexyl)adipate and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, and the
other contains an acetone solution of benzo(a)pyrene.  If Method
525.2 is used, one sample can be produced for determination of
adipates, phthalates, and PAHs.   Alternatively, the adipate/
phthalate determination may be made using Method 506, and PAHs
may be determined using Method 550 (Determination of PAHs in
Drinking Water by HPLC Liquid-Liquid Extraction) or Method 550.1
(Determination of PAHs in Drinking Water by HPLC Liquid-Solid
Extraction); in that case, two samples should be prepared.

     Place approximately 1 L of reagent water in a 2-L separatory
funnel.  If Methods 506, 550 or 550.1 are to be used, you MUST
pipet 1.0 mL from the adipate/phthalate ampul to produce the
sample for adipate/phthalate analysis.  Mix well.  To produce a
separate sample for the PAH analysis, repeat the same sample
preparation procedure using 1.0 mL from the PAH ampul.

       If Method 525.2 is to be used, you may produce and analyze
separate samples as for the other methods OR you MAY produce a
single sample for combined analysis by adding a 1.0-mL aliquot
from both ampuls to the same 1L of reagent water.

     Three ampuls containing methanol  solutions  of volatile
organic compounds  (VOCs) are provided  to prepare three separate
samples.                 ;

Ampul Solution Components

1.   Benzene, carbon tetirachloride, chlorobenzene, 1,2-
     dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene,  1,2-dichloroethane,
     1,1-dichloroethylene, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene,  trans-1,2-
     dichloroethylene, dichloromethane, 1,2-dichloropropane,
     ethylbenzene, styrene, tetrachloroethylene,  toluene, 1,1,1-
     trichloroethane, 1,1,2-trichloroethane, trichloroethylene,
     1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, vinyl chloride and  total xylenes.

2.   A unspecified number of Section 1445 unregulated VOCs listed
     in the Federal Register of July 8, 1987,  p.  25710.  IF YOU
     REPORT DATA FOR ANY ANALYTE  IN THIS AMPUL,  YOU  MUST REPORT
     DATA FOR ALL THAT ARE PRESENT.

3.   Ethylene dibromide (EDB) and dibromochloropropane (DBCP).

     To prepare sample 1 'when ready to begin analyses, fill a
100-mL volumetric flask to volume with carbon-filtered reagent
water.  Immediately after opening ampul 1, withdraw  25 /iL of the
ampul solution with a syringe and adjiist .syringe contents to 20
/zL.  Quickly inject this 20-/iL aliquot into the  water in the
expanded area of the filled flask.  Remove the needle as quickly
as possible after injection.  Mix the sample by  inverting the
flask three times only.  (Excessive shaking may  result in loss of
volatiles.)   Analyze the sample immediately using methods 502.2
or 524.2.  For samples 2 and 3, repeat the procedure  using ampuls
2 and 3,  although methods 504.1 or 551 must be used  to analyze
sample 3.                ;
NOTES:
     Failure rates for vinyl chloride and other volatiles have
     been high in past studies.   Calibration standards must be
     handled carefully to avoid loss of gases such as vinyl
     chloride and should not be held for jnore than a day or two.

     For each individual compound identified, report the measured
     concentration to three figures as micrograms per liter.

                            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.

14 .   Only 0 .1-jum pore size polycarbonate filter membranes • or
   .  0.1 - 0.22 j«n celulose mixed ester membranes  (MCE) should be
     used.  Filters should be taken from a lot which has been
     pre-screened for background contamination.  This is
     particularly important if 3 :1..

     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

       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.

         Water Supply laboratory Performance Evaluation Study 40

               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
