EPA 200.5 Metals by GFAA Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

As a leading laboratory testing service provider, Eurolab is proud to offer comprehensive solutions for environmental and industrial testing needs. One of the essential services offered by Eurolab is EPA 200.5 Metals by GFAA (Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption) testing. This article serves as a complete guide to understanding the importance, methodology, and benefits of this laboratory test.

Standard-Related Information

EPA 200.5 Metals by GFAA testing is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 15586:2013 - Water quality - Determination of metals and metalloids by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
  • ASTM D2340-13 - Standard Test Method for Metals in Soil by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry
  • EN 14909:2006 - Water quality - Determination of the content of certain elements - Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS) method
  • TSE 655:2014 - Turkish Standards Institution standard for water quality - Determination of metals by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
  • These standards outline the requirements and procedures for conducting EPA 200.5 Metals by GFAA testing, ensuring that results are accurate and reliable.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    EPA 200.5 Metals by GFAA testing is essential for various industries, including:

  • Water treatment plants
  • Industrial processes (e.g., mining, manufacturing)
  • Environmental monitoring agencies
  • Government regulatory bodies
  • This test is necessary to detect the presence of metals in water and soil samples, which can have severe consequences on human health and the environment. The consequences of not performing this test include:

  • Inaccurate or incomplete data leading to poor decision-making
  • Non-compliance with regulations and standards
  • Potential health risks for humans and the environment
  • Test Conditions and Methodology

    EPA 200.5 Metals by GFAA testing involves the following steps:

    1. Sample collection: Water or soil samples are collected from the site using proper sampling procedures.

    2. Sample preparation: Samples are prepared according to standard protocols, including drying, grinding, and dissolution.

    3. Instrument calibration: The graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (GFAAS) is calibrated using certified reference materials.

    4. Measurement and analysis: The GFAAS measures the absorbance of metal ions in the sample, which is then converted into concentration values.

    The testing equipment used includes:

  • Graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer (GFAAS)
  • Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) for quality control
  • pH and temperature control systems
  • Test Reporting and Documentation

    Eurolabs test reporting and documentation procedures include:

    1. Test report format: A comprehensive report is generated, including sample information, testing parameters, and results.

    2. Report interpretation: Eurolabs experts interpret the results, providing recommendations for further action or corrective measures.

    3. Certification and accreditation: Reports are certified by Eurolabs quality management system (QMS) and accredited by relevant authorities.
