Workplace air — Determination of particulate lead and lead compounds — Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method

The method is applicable to the determination of masses of 10 µg to 200 µg of lead per sample using the normal procedure without dilution. The concentration range for lead in air for which this procedure is applicable is determined in part by the sampling procedure selected by the user. The method is applicable to personal and fixed location sampling. The normal sample dissolution procedure is not effective for all lead compounds.
