 LEAD by ULTRASONIC EXTRACTION/ASV: METHOD 7701, Issue 2, dated 15 March 2003 - Page 4 of 4 EVALUATION OF METHOD: This method was evaluated with lead aerosol samples generated in the laboratory (40 to 80 :g Pb per filter) [3], and with air particulate samples collected from workplaces where abrasive blasting of leaded paint on highway bridges was being conducted [4]. For the latter, lead loadings cover the range from below the detection limit of 0.09 :g Pb per filter to loadings in excess of 1500 :g Pb per filter [4 ]. The method also has been evaluated with performance evaluation materials and by interlaboratory testing [35]. Lead recoveries from Certified Reference Materials (CRM s) were found to be quantitative ($90%) and equivalent to recoveries obtained using confirmatory analytical methods (NIOSH 7082, 7105, and 7300 [11]).
