Publication SW-846 Third Edition (November
1986) including updates I, II, IIA and IIB, as
incorporated by reference in $60.17(i). For
the purposes of a source test that consists of
three sample runs. modify those requirements to include the following: two instrument check standard runs. two calibration
blank runs, one interference check sample at
the beginning of the analysis (analyze by
Method of Standard Additions unless within
25 percent). one quality control sample to
check the accuracy of the calibration standards (required to be within 25 percent of calibration), and one duplicate analysis (required to be within 20 percent of average or
repeat all analyses).
7.2.2. Direct Aspiration AAS and/or
GFAAS Analysis for Sb, As, Ba, Be. Cd. Cu,
Cr. Co. Pb. Ni, Mn, Hg. P. Se, Ag, TI, and Zn.
Analyze all samples in duplicate. Perform a
matrix spike on at least one front-half sample and one back-half sample. or one combined sample. If recoveries of less than 75
percent or greater than 125 percent are obtained for the matrix spike, analyze each
sample by the Method of Standard Additions.
Analyze a quality control sample to check
the accuracy of the calibration standards. If
the results are not within 20 percent. repeat
the calibration.
7.2.3 CVAAS Analysis for Hg. Analyze all
samples in duplicate. Analyze a quality control sample to check the accuracy of the
calibration standards (if not within 15 percent, repeat calibration). Perform a matrix
spike on one sample (if not within 25 percent,
analyze all samples by the Method of Standard Additions). Additional Information on
quality control can be obtained from Method
