Standard particulate sampling techniques are used to
evaluate lead exposures. Potential for lead ingestion can be indicated by wipe sampling. The following links provide information regarding methods and means used to
evaluate lead hazards.
- Sampling and
Analytical Methods. OSHA. Provides links to information developed by OSHA, including validated methods for use by the Salt
Lake Technical Center (SLTC) Laboratory.
- Chemical Sampling Information (CSI). OSHA. Presents, in concise form, data on a large number of chemical
substances that may be encountered in industrial hygiene investigations.
- Blood Lead Laboratories.
OSHA. OSHA administers a program for approval of laboratories submitting data as required
by the OSHA Lead Standard for the general industry, 29
CFR 1910.1025. Employers who are required to perform biological monitoring for blood lead must use an OSHA-approved blood lead laboratory for analysis.
