Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center
(AWBERC) - Cincinnati, Ohio
Research Containment Facility Dedicated
A new research containment facility (RCF) was
dedicated on October 25, 1988, at the Andrew W.
Breidenbach Environmental Research Center
(AWBERC). It provides the Agency with its own
capability for performing research on samples of
hazardous and toxic material. It is a self-contained,
freestanding facility that has an overall research area
of 7,500 square feet. Designated areas are available
for: (1) sample receiving, processing, and storage; (2)
sample extraction and extract concentration; (3)
measurement of toxic inorganics/metals and organic
compounds of Agency interest; and (4) individual
modules for doing research on hazardous materials
and chemicals.
The major laboratories located here at the Center
will use the RCF to conduct research on toxic
materials related to control technology, health effects,
monitoring methods, and quality assurance materials.
Concurrently, specialized analytical support will be
provided to assist the regions, states, and program
offices with problem samples and special high priority
projects that cannot be obtained through normal
services.
Maximum safety features have been incorporated
into the RCF to preclude exposure of employees
within the containment area, and special precautions
have been taken to avoid contamination of the
outside area. These include card-controlled entry to
the RCF and a special one-pass air system with
necessary air locks to insure a negative air pressure
within the containment area. All exhaust air from the
RCF will be specially treated and monitored through
an elaborate filtering system to prevent contamination
of the surrounding area. Special locker rooms with
shower-out capability and other state-of-the-art
safety features are included. Any residual samples
and solvents from all experiments will be removed by
a licensed hazardous waste transport and treat-
ment/disposal firm. We have worked closely with the
health/safety experts in the overall design of the
building and its daily operation to make this the safest
research facility possible.
Some of the key research projects planned by the
Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory (RREL) staff
will involve drinking water and wastewater research.
For example, toxics treatability will be studied with
-------
various treatment technologies. Toxics involved in
these studies will include priority pollutants, azo dyes,
and other chemical substances as designated by the
Office of Toxic Substances. Bench scale studies on
the removal of low levels of toxics from water will be
performed using fume hoods specially designed to
control toxic materials and glove boxes to prepare
and spike sample.
The EMSL-Cincinnati staff will also be using the
containment facility to prepare quality assurance
samples for use by our regional, state, and local
laboratories. They will conduct research on new
laboratory procedures for the analyses of toxic
materials and will process trace amounts of highly
toxic substances in pure or highly concentrated form.
"Real world" samples of unknown quality and
contaminant concentration will be processed,
subjected to clean-up procedures, screened by
identification procedures, and quantitatively measured
by a variety of instrumental techniques.

Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory - Cincinnati
Reorganization
On August 21, 1988, the Environmental Monitoring
and Support Laboratory - Cincinnati was reorganized
and became the Environmental Monitoring Systems
Laboratory (EMSL-Cincinnati), with the same
acronym as before. The new EMSL-Cincinnati has
three divisions, eight branches, and a new Program
Operations Staff. Approximately 18 persons were
transferred from the Bacteriology/Virology and
Parasitology/lmmunology Section of the Toxicology
and Microbiology Division, Health Effects Research
Laboratory, to EMSL-Cincinnati, creating a strong
Microbiology Division to complement our Chemistry
and Quality Assurance Divisions. EMSL-Cincinnati

New Instruments Installed for Research on Methods for Non-Volatile and Non-Gas
Chromatographable Compounds
Two new, recently developed, major laboratory
instruments were installed and will be used during
FY89 for research and development of broad
spectrum analytical methods for non-volatile and
non-gas Chromatographable toxic organic pollutants
in drinking water, wastewater, ambient water, and
hazardous waste. The instruments are an Extrel
Thermabeam (trademark) high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC)/mass spectrometry (MS)
system and a Hewlett-Packard particle beam
HPLC/MS system. The two instruments, which will be
used in the in-house research program by
experienced EPA personnel, will allow the simul-
taneous development and testing of several methods
and the implementation of these methods on the
commercial instrument system that shows the best
overall performance. Test methods for non-volatile
and non-gas Chromatographable compounds are
needed for many compounds planned for regulation,
or currently regulated, under the Safe Drinking Water
Act, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substances
Control Act, the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, or the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act.

Problems with Test Supplies and Equipment, Drinking Water Certification Program
EMSL-Cincinnati is assigned the responsibility to
maintain a program for identifying and reporting
problems with supplies and equipment to users and
manufacturers. Orion Research Incorporated has
voluntarily announced that one of their fluoride
standards exceeded specifications. Use of this
standard may result in unacceptable performance on
performance evaluation or drinking water samples.
The specific product identification is:
Product: 1 ppm Fluoride Standard
Orion catalog number: 040906
Lot number: S X -1
Actual analysis: 0.86 ppm
This product can be replaced by contacting Orion
Customer Service at Toll Free number 1-800-
225-1480 or COML: 617-242-3900.

Clarification
The article that appeared in the QA Newsletter,
Volume 10, Number 2, July 1988, concerning Sample
Collection and Preservation should read -
"Composite samples that are being collected for the
measurement of parameters that require refrigeration
(Cool to 4°C) should be refrigerated during the
composite period." The required preservation
techniques are listed in Table II or 40 CFR 136.3.

Microbiology Research Division
Suspended Cell Culture Technique for Enterovirus Monitoring of Water and Wastewater
The EMSL-Cincmnati Virology Branch has evalu-
ated the suspended cell culture procedure and
recommends the use of this method where low
numbers of indigenous viruses are anticipated in a
test sample. When the virus densities in a sample are
low, the suspended cell culture procedure detects
more viruses than the currently used monolayer
procedure. The suspended cell technique also
requires less time because it involves no prior
planting of the cells or medium changes.
For further information about the suspended cell
culture procedure contact Daniel R. Dahling, FTS:
684-7333; COML: 513-569-7333.
(Robert S. Safferman, FTS: 684-7334; COML:
513-569-7334)
Concentrating Viruses from Municipal Wastewater Sludge Solids
The accuracy of virus monitoring data from
environmental samples depends greatly on the
efficiency of concentration procedures used to
reduce the sample volumes to a quantity which can
be economically assayed on cell cultures. One step
in the concentration procedure involves the use of
beef extract to desorb viruses from solid particulates.
A modification in the commercial manufacture of
powdered beef extract greatly reduces the virus
recovery efficiency during the organic flocculation
procedure. To overcome this problem, this beef
extract has been supplemented with a floe prepared
from paste beef. This has resulted in virus recoveries
comparable to those obtained with powdered beef
extract produced prior to the change in the
manufacturing process. Copies of a report on the
subject are available from Mrs. Cherry Jenkins, FTS:
684-7356; COML: 513-569-7356.

Delays in Shipment of QC Samples and Repository Standards
Discussions are underway between Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and USEPA
to establish the labeling, packaging, and information
requirements which must be followed for QC samples
and calibration standards under the proposed
Hazardous Communication Standard. Interruptions in
the distribution of some samples are being
experienced, and further modifications in sample
labeling, packaging and shipping procedures are
anticipated through 1989. Your patience is requested.

Progress Report on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) QA Program
Under the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulates
municipal and industrial wastewater treatment
facilities. To these facilities, EPA or delegated states
issue unique permits that specify limits on pollutants
in their discharges and set self-monitoring require-
ments. Each permittee submits the results of self-
monitoring on a Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR).
As EPA and states make compliance decisions based
on the NPDES self-monitoring data, assurance of
the data quality is crucial.
Through EMSL-Cincinnati, the Office of Enforce-
ment and Permits conducts the DMR QA Program,
which serves us a primary tool to assure the quality
of the NPDES self monitoring data. It evaluates the
permittees' ability to analyze and report accurate
data. Major permittees are required to participate by
Section 308(a) of the Clean Water Act. Major
permittees receive performance evaluation samples
with constituents and concentrations like those found
in their industrial or municipal wastewaters. They are

required to analyze these samples with
constituentsand concentrations like those found in
their industrial or municipal wastewaters. They are
required to analyze these samples using the same
personnel andmethods normally used for reporting
NPDES data. Later, EPA sends each permittee an
evaluation of their reported data and a checklist for
locating sources sources of errors.
Besides providing insight on DMR data quality, this
program maintains direct and regular technical
contact with permittees. Annual national results since
the inception of the DMR QA Program in 1980 are
illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. Other accomplishments
of the program include: (1) tracking of improvements
by states, industries, and types of ownership, (2)
checking truthfulness in reporting, (3) checking
sources of errors, and (4) evaluating performance for
each analyte by the analytical method used.

QA SUPPORT FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER ANALYSES
EMSL-CINCINNATI
The QC Sample series are intended for periodic use
(quarterly) as independent checks on each laboratory's
own QC activities. They are not intended to replace the
standards, check samples, blind samples or replicates
incorporated into analytical runs as part of the
laboratory's QC program. There is no certification or
other formal evaluative function resulting from the use
of QC samples and data return is not expected.
The Quality Control Sample Program covers the
ambient water quality, drinking water, water pollution,
priority pollutant, hazardous, and toxic waste programs
for chemical, biological and microbiological analytes.
Most samples are prepared as concentrates in water or
organic solvent and sealed in glass ampuls. Instructions
are provided for dilution of samples to volume with
water or wastewater prior to analysis.
Limit of Numbers of Quality Control (QC) and Performance Evaluation (PE) Samples
Distributed/Laboratory
The anticipated initiation of a user-free program in
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
caused a significant increase in requests for large
numbers of QC samples and PE samples (outside of
the Agency's formal studies), from regional, state, and
local laboratories. To" prevent a loss of sample
inventories until the user fee decision is made,
distribution was limited to two QC samples of a type per
quarter year (first quarter is October through December,
second quarter is January through March, etc.).
Hopefully, even this limit will only be necessary
temporarily. We ask for your understanding and
forebearance.
Single Concentration QC Sample Series
To increase efficiency and economy in the prepa-
ration and distribution of QC samples, new or re-made
series are being prepared at one concentration/ analyte.
For USEPA methods which specify use of a specific
QC sample concentration for analytes, the concentra-
tion of the QC sample will be so set. For other analytes,
a mid-range concentration will be provided.
Availability of PCB Congeners
An isooctane solution containing 20 PCB congeners for
use as an instrumental check has been prepared for
EMSL-Cmcinnati by the National Institute of Stan-
dards and Technology (NIST). The PCB congeners are
in ampules containing approximately 300 ng of each
congener in 1.5 ml_ solution.
'Notice*
As an economy measure, QC samples are now sent
by the least expensive means which may be United
Parcel Service (UPS). Therefore, street addresses
must be provided. The following samples are available

The USEPA Repository for Toxic and Hazardous Materials
EMSL-Cincinnati maintains the USEPA Repository
for Toxic and Hazardous Materials to provide a
continuing source of calibration materials, standards,
reference compounds, and spiking solutions for all trace
organics of interest to the Agency. The Repository
provides support for Ambient Monitoring, Drinking
Water, NPDES/Priority Pollutants, Hazardous Waste/
Solid Waste, and Toxics and Superfund Programs.
11
-------
Compounds are prepared individually as 1.5 ml_
solutions m water-miscible solvents sealed in all-
glass ampuls. A data sheet with each ampul contains
general chemical data, solution specifications, storage
and preservation recommendations, information
onpunty and health hazards, and safe handling
instructions. Included with each data sheet is a GC or
high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC)
showing relative peak areas, retention times of the
compound, and impurities, if any. The chromato-
grams are obtained using detector conditions
specified in USEPA's methods.
Three grades of materials will be distributed:
QA Standards (QAS) a 99 percent purity
QA Reagents (QAR) 95-98 percent purity
QA Technical Materials (QAT) < 95 percent purity
The Repository will move as many compounds as
possible from the QAT and QAR categories into the
QAS category by use of purification techniques.
Exceptions are multicomponent materials such as
PCBs, toxaphene, chlordane, and halowaxes which
will be categorized as QAR or QAT and will not be
purified further. The current list of the Repository
materials distributed is given in the following table:
Concentrations are 5000 no of QAS-pure compound per mL of methanol solvent unless otherwise noted.
