GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• Treat each PE 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 water 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 determination of the 15 metals listed in
the table below. As a result of an ampul 1 batch production mishap, a fine
white precipitate of barium and lead sulfate is unfortunately present in ampul
'1 and should be excluded when removing the aliquot for sample preparation. If
the ampul is mixed, allow the precipitate to settle for at least 15 minutes
before pipetting from the top (supernatant) portion of the ampul solution.
Filtration is also an option.
MULTI-ELEMENTS
To prepare sample 1, fill a 1-L volumetric flask approximately 3/4 full
with reagent water while 'waiting for any stirred up solids to settle to the
bottom of ampul 1. After at least 15 minutes, pipet 10.0 mL (which contains
0.5 mL of concentrated nitric acid) from the supernatant in 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 following analytes in the stated concentrational ranges.

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 and 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 as 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). WS
studies prior to WS040 had 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 formazin,
suggest some high bias and a relative standard deviation around 16 to 20 percent. The
purpose of this data collection effort is to estimate the statistics of state-of-the-
art measurement of turbidity at concentrations below 0.5 NTU in those facilities that
might be effected by the proposed regulation.
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, 3 and 4 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

DIOXIN
One ampul containing a methanol solution of 2,3,7,8-tetrachloro-p-
dibenzodioxin (TCDD) is provided. Add approximately 1 L of reagent water to a
2-L separatory funnel, then add 50 /zL of the concentrate'in the ampul to the
separatory funnel and mix well.
NOTES:
Report the measured 2, 3,7,8-TCDD concentration to three figures in
picograms 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, 37C14-
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.

ASBESTOS
One ampul containing chrysotile asbestos fibers in water is provided.
All water used for dilution and washing glassware must be freshly-distilled
water from a glass still. Whenever possible, glass containers should be used.
The importance of absolute cleanliness during sample preparation cannot be
over-emphasized, and every effort must be made to exclude bacteria, molds, and
their products.
Approximately one (1) hour before beginning analysis:
1. Vigorously shake, the ampul for approximately 15 sec.
2. Place the ampul in an ultrasonic bath for at least 30 min.
3. Shake the ampul again for '15 sec.
4. Place the ampul in the ultrasonic bath for another 30 min. and continue
to sonicate the ampul until it is opened.
5. Place 100 mL of freshly-distilled water into a very clean 500-mL glass
bottle with a screw cap. Precautions should be taken to ensure that no
organic materials of bacterial origin remain in the bottle from any
previous use or from washing with unsterile water.
6. Break the ampul at the pre-scored neck and complete sample preparation
as rapidly as possible.
7. Pipet 15 mL from the ampul into the glass bottle containing the 100 mL
distilled water, and dilute to 500 mL with freshly-distilled water.
9. Shake the bottle vigorously for 15 sec.
10. Adjust the pH of the suspension to between 3 and 4 with glacial acetic
acid. The acid is most conveniently added using a microliter pipet and
non-bleeding pH indicator strips to determine the pH. After each
addition of acetic acid, shake the suspension vigorously before checking
the pH.
11. Place the bottle in an ultrasonic bath for at least 30 min.
12. Shake the bottle vigorously before removing any aliquot from the
suspension.
13. To-avo,id loss of" fibers settling on tapered funnel sides, use a
filtration apparatus with straight vertical sides.

14. Only 0.1-/itn pore size polycarbonate filter membranes or 0.1 - 0.22 /zm
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 <10-p6m fibers are to
be counted. The filter should be backed by a <.5-iJ,m pore size MCE (mixed
cellulose ester.), membrane filter to diffuse the vacuum across the-
membrane.
NOTES:
Analyze the sample with "Analytical Method for Determination of Asbestos
Fibers in Water", 40 CFR Parts 141,'142, and 143 p. 3582, Wednesday,
January 30, 1991.
An analytical sensitivity of 200,000 fibers per liter (0.2 MFL) is
required subject to the following analysis termination rules:
o- Analysis may be terminated either at completion of the grid
opening during which an analytical sensitivity of 0.2 MFL is
achieved or the grid opening that contains the 100th asbestos
fiber over 10 pm in length, whichever occurs first.
o A minimum of four grid openings must be counted, even if this
results in counting more than 100 asbestos fibers over 10 jttm in
length.
o The grid openings examined should be drawn about equally from a
minimum of three specimen grids.
Counting rules:
o Count fibers with an aspect ratio of _>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:
o Each fiber suspected to be chrysotile must first be examined by
electron diffraction (ED) following the procedure in Figure 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 /xm 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
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 1ARC, NTP, OSHA or ACCIH.
Primary Routes of Entry
Acetone may exert its effects 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 th« 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).
Eyes: 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 safe location for disposal by approved methods. }f
released to the environment, comply with all regulatory
notification requirements.
CERCLA Reportable Quantity: 5,000 Ibs.
Dispose of acetone as an EPA hazardous waste. Contact
state environmental agency for listing of licensed hazardous
waste disposal facilities and applicable regulations.

Water Supply Laboratory Performance Evaluation Study 41
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING RESULTS
REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS
« 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
number that was assigned by the USEPA the first time your lab
participated in a performance evaluation study and must 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.
• Along with each analytical result, report the two-digit code for the
analytical method used to obtain that result in the column marked "MC"
(see analyte/method 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 air-acetylene, nitrous oxide-
acetylene, platform, or non-platform use.
• Type or clearly print analytical results in the column marked
"Quantity" using specified units in the appropriate blocks (right
justify results) on the forms provided.
• Do not enter dashes or other characters in place of a value. If an
analyte is hot 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.
• 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 according to instructions included in this package
will not be evaluated.
• Provide any notes or comments on a separate sheet of paper attached to
the report form.
