1 Module C.ii. Analytical Methods for Measuring Lead in Paint 1

2 Outline Background Description of commonly used methods Conducting market surveys of lead paint Summary References Point of Contact 2

3 Background Testing the lead content of paint provides information that can be used to: assess the availability of lead paint in the market and the need for better regulation, laws and enforcement provide consumers with information so that they can choose to buy non-lead paint and can push for controls on lead paint draw attention to companies that produce lead paint and encourage them voluntarily to reformulate their products assess potential sources of exposure, for example in the home, and the need for mitigation measures e.g. removal or remediation 3

4 Background There are three main approaches for determining the lead content in paint: 1. Collect a paint sample and measure its lead content in a laboratory using various analytical techniques 2. Measure the amount of lead in paint in situ using a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) device 3. Test the paint in situ using a chemical test kit The choice of method depends on several factors such as the level accuracy required, the substrate to be tested (new paint or painted surface), the analytical equipment, and the cost. 4

5 Background The concentration of lead in paint may be expressed in a range of units e.g. ppm, %, µg/g, mg/cm 2 90 ppm = 0.009% = 90 µg/g = 90 mg/kg there is no equivalence between ppm and mg/cm 2 The choice of analytical method and units for reporting results is influenced by the reason for the analysis 5

6 Background Laboratory analysis can report the amount of lead as a proportion of the dry weight or as an amount per unit area (area concentration): market surveys: preferred units are %, ppm etc as these units are relevant to paint formulation and are used in regulatory paint standards analysis of chips of old paint on surfaces: preferred units are mg/cm 2 as the value is not affected by overcoats of lead-free paint XRF usually reports in mg/cm 2 6

7 Laboratory-based methods Sampling should be done by trained personnel to ensure samples are taken correctly When taking a paint chip sample from a painted surface: paint must be removed from the underlying material, i.e. it is necessary to damage the painted surface it is important to remove a precisely-measured area of paint Paint must be processed, e.g. by acid digestion, before analysis There is usually a delay before results are available 7

8 Laboratory-based methods Three commonly used methods are (in order of higher to lower limit of detection): Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (FAAS) Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (GFAAS) Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP- AES) Trained personnel and good quality assurance procedures are essential 8

9 Portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) Uses a radiation source to detect and measure lead radiation safety precautions should be followed Should be used by a trained operator to ensure reliable results Not all XRF devices are suitable for measuring lead in paint check before using Equipment is relatively expensive but is more practicable for measuring a large number of surfaces than laboratory analysis 9

10 Portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) Tested surface does not need to be damaged Results are available immediately Good accuracy when used by a trained operator, though there is a larger margin of error than with laboratory methods Can only be used on smooth, flat surfaces Suitable for dry paint but not wet paint 10

11 Chemical test kits Qualitative test for lead paint on walls or other surfaces Usually relies on a colour change to indicate the presence of lead above a specified concentration e.g ppm. Two kinds of kit: swab impregnated with reagents wiped against painted surface and colour changes after seconds to minutes test-tube with reagents into which a chip of paint is mixed 11

12 Chemical test kits Only tests the exposed layer - to test underlying layers of paint need to score or scrape off the surface paint Special procedure may be needed for certain surfaces e.g. plaster Test gives rapid results usually within seconds to minutes Not reliable some kits have a high rate of false positives or false negatives 12

13 Doing a market survey of lead content in paint To determine available brands, imported products, and relative sales volume In designing the study make sure that tested products are representative of all major brands and include a range of colours lead content may vary by colour Document information on product labels NB lead paint standards are based on the concentration of lead in the DRY paint

14 Sample Preparation Wear gloves and a face mask to protect against solvents Apply a thin, single coating of paint to a glass slide or wood Use a new brush/applicator for each sample to avoid cross-contamination Dry the paint in an oven at 105 C or in the open air If drying in air make sure there is no danger of dust contaminating the samples

15 Sample Preparation Cover a flat work surface with plastic to provide a clean work area Wearing new gloves, use a razor blade to scrape the dried paint and place in the sample container use a new blade for each sample Carefully document each sample: unique sample number matched to labelling information for paint (lot number/ batch/ date) Ensure chain-of-custody documentation Send to laboratory for analysis 15

16 Considerations when choosing a laboratory How experienced is the laboratory in paint analysis? Is it accredited through a recognized proficiency testing scheme? What analytical methods does it use? Is the limit of detection adequate? e.g. GFAAS, ICP-AES What are the costs per sample and the turn-around time? What are the shipping costs? Check specific sample requirements with the chosen laboratory before starting

17 Laboratory qualifications In USA, Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP) accredits laboratories performing analysis of lead in environmental samples including paint ELLAP is recognized by the EPA National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) ELLAP program is open to private and public laboratories worldwide

18 Summary Methods for measuring the lead content in paint range from simple qualitative tests to highly accurate laboratorybased methods The choice of method depends on needs e.g. number of samples, cost limitations, need for precise measurement Market surveys to determine the availability of lead paint in a country require careful planning, documentation and laboratory selection 18
