Abstract

In this study, we introduced experience participated in ELPAT (Environmental Lead for Proficiency Analytical Testing) program that is administered by the American Industrial Hygiene Association and EPA. The 126 sample results of total 128 samples met reference value, as a result accepted 'proficient'. The concentration of Pb in air, paint chips, soils and dust wipes are $0.0089{\sim}0.3956mg/m^3$, 0.0500~8.9149%, 29.0${\sim}$1697 mg/kg and $18.00{\sim}900.3{\mu}g/sample$, respectively. The lead in environmental matrix prepared adequate techniques and analysed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The lead in air was extracted hydrochloric acid, in paint chips and soils were digested with microwave and hotplate and in dust wipes were prepared microwave digestion. No differences of each preparation techniques was found and all methods were to be proper.

미국산업위생학회 (American Industrial Hygiene Association, AIHA)와 미국환경보호청(US Environmental Protection Agency, EPA)에서 실시하는 납 분석 정도관리 프로그램에 가입하여 1999부터 2001년까지 매년 4회씩 공기, 페인트 칩, 토양 그리고 먼지 중 납을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 총 128개의 시료 중 126개의 결과가 적합 범위에 들어 전체적으로 'proficient' 인정을 받았다. 공기, 페인트 칩, 토양 그리고 먼지 중 납의 농도는 각각 $0.0089{\sim}0.3956mg/m^3$, 0.0500~8.9149%, 29.0~1697 mg/kg 그리고 $18.00{\sim}900.3{\mu}g/sample$ 이었다. 다양한 환경시료 중의 납은 각 매트릭스별로 적절한 전처리를 한 다음 불꽃 원자흡수분광광도법으로 불꽃 방법으로 분석하였다. 공기 중 납은 염산으로 추출하였고, 페인트 칩과 토양 시료는 마이크로웨이브와 핫플레이트에서 회화시키는 방법, 두 가지를 모두 이용하였다. 그리고 먼지 시료는 마이크로웨이브 회화법을 이용하였다. 각각의 전처리 방법에 따른 차이는 없었으며, 다양한 환경 시료 중의 납 분석방법으로 적당하였다.
