Introduction
Quality Control: Schneider Laboratories has stringent quality control standards in compliance with ISO 17025 and EPA standards. Comprehensive quality control programs ensure the accuracy of analytical results. Schneider Laboratories employs a quality assurance director, a quality assurance officer and quality assurance coordinator, who maintains and implements an internal quality control program designed to monitor instrument performance and sample matrix effects using calibration standards, calibration verification standards, matrix and reagent blanks, surrogate standards, laboratory fortified ("spiked") samples, and sample duplicates. Additionally, external measures including double-blind samples, inter-laboratory testing programs, and proficiency testing programs such as NIOSH PAT, NLLAP/ELPAT, NVLAP Bulk Asbestos, Drinking Water and Waste Water studies, and NYELAP provide blind proficiency test samples to the laboratory on a regular basis. Quality control samples are regularly introduced into the sample flow at a rate of 5% (1 in 20) to 10% (1 in 10) in accordance with industry standards or method requirements. Proficiency test data and other quality control records are available upon request.
Methodologies: The sampling section of this schedule contains specific information on collection media, flow rates, recommended air volumes and special handling notes on chemicals submitted for analysis. This information has been tabulated from the methods cited. The recommended flow rate and sampling time is presented as a guide, and in most cases will provide an analytical detection limit at a fraction of the TLV. When sampling high concentrations of organic vapors on solid sorbent tubes, breakthrough can occur at these recommended sample volumes.
Statement of Qualifications
Schneider Laboratories specializes in the analyses of organic compounds, asbestos and metals in various matrices including paint, soil, wipes, building materials, wastewater, drinking water and hazardous wastes. SLi is an independent, AIHA / NELAC /NVLAP accredited, WBE, SBE, & DBE, commercial analytical testing laboratory located in Richmond, VA. The laboratory is dedicated to serving the testing needs of occupational / environmental health and safety professionals worldwide.

SLI is recognized as a leader in laboratory testing. Internationally: SLi assists industrial professionals, engineers, consultants and government agencies worldwide to meet the ongoing and ever changing needs for industrial hygiene, environmental, water testing, lead and asbestos testing. Nationally: SLi was the first laboratory in the nation to receive accreditation for the analysis of lead based paint chips, soil and dust wipes through AIHA's ELLAP Program. Schneider Laboratories is listed in the first group of laboratories in the United States to receive NELAC accreditation. Regionally: SLi was the first laboratory in Virginia to be licensed for asbestos analysis. Schneider Laboratories outstanding analytical achievements are due to a strong, focused Quality Assurance Program. This is essential to maintaining both control of all analytical processes in the laboratory and the confidence of the hundreds of clients that currently utilize the laboratorys services. The efforts to constantly improve the quality assurance program, as well as expand the services offered by the laboratory, are a great undertaking, and are being shouldered by each employee at every level of the laboratorys organization, from President to technician. Each employee is critical. Each client is our "Most Important." Our reputation for courteous and responsive interaction with our customers is widespread. Our documentation process is exact and complete. Our distinction as an "AUTHORITY" in asbestos and lead testing has become a coast-to-coast customer response.

Results are transmitted via fax, email, electronic deliverable, website Weekends: Schneider Laboratories offers same day turn-around on Saturday and Sunday testing (except TEMS and send-out/referral tests). Advance notice of sample arrival and are required by Friday at 3 PM ET in order to receive Saturday and Sunday results. A waybill number must be forwarded to your Project Manager so the weekend staff may be able to track your package. Rush turn-around-time requests remain the same for weekends and weekdays. Turnaround time on send-out/re-feral tests is based on the client needs. Call your Project Manger to get available turnaround times. Air Express: Next day delivery is available at no additional charge when submitting $150 or more samples per package (within the U.S.A. only). Via UPS or FedEx. SLI now offers shipment value protection thru UPS or DHL Globally, for a minimal charge. Only upon client request. Chain of Custody: Chain of custody forms are provided at no additional charge. Chain of custody forms should be legible and complete. It is recommended that a separate form for each sample type (e.g. metals, organics, dusts, asbestos) be used. Include the following information when submitting samples to the laboratory. SLI will pre-print your COC upon request at no charge. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Client name, address (if not using pre-printed form) Telephone number, fax number Project name/number Date and time of sample collection Number and types of samples Type of analysis requested on each sample Sample identification, including time and air volumes Purchase order information Signature of person submitting samples Sample identification numbers clearly marked on each sample submitted are necessary for cross-referencing and sample tracking throughout the laboratory. The number chosen to identify your samples should also be written on the chain of custody form submitted with the samples. Indicate any special instructions
11.
Providing this information will help eliminate delays. Please submit the top two copies of the chain of custody form with your samples and retain the bottom copy for your records.
Blanks: A minimum of one blank should be submitted for each type of industrial hygiene analysis requested in a given batch of samples. Generally, industrial hygiene methods recommend field blanks to be collected at a rate of 10% for inorganic analytes and at a rate of 2 to 10 field blanks per set for organic analytes. Specific methods may require alternate blank sampling schedules, and should be consulted for detailed information. Blanks act as a control for analysis by accounting for contamination that can occur during handling, storage, or shipment of samples. A field blank is opened and handled in the same manner as a sample, except no air should be drawn. Since blanks are analyzed as any other sample in the laboratory, they are priced the same as the analysis requested. Sample Collection Media: FREE standard collection media (call your Project Manager for list) A nominal fee will be charged for passive monitors and all other collection media. Sampling media are routinely shipped by ground delivery United Parcel Service (UPS). If air express shipping is requested, the client will be billed for this service.

Acceptance Policy
BASIC REQUIREMENTS Samples must be submitted with a SLI Submittal form or equivalent, with full instructions including tests requested and turn-around-time desired. It is the clients responsibility to communicate specific methods or detection limits required. Samples must be appropriately sealed to prevent leakage or cross-contamination. Samples must be clearly labeled. Samples should be collected on the appropriate media for the test and/or submitted in the appropriate vessel type. (See Sampling Guide for information per test.) Samples should be shipped in a manner to preserve the samples safety, quality, and integrity. It is the clients responsibility to ship the samples to the lab at the appropriate temperature for sample preservation. Sample temperature will be monitored upon receipt for temperature-sensitive samples. The receipt temperature for organics environmental samples is displayed on the final report. Clients may be notified of the receipt temperature upon request.
LABORATORY RESPONSE TO UNSUITABLE SAMPLES When testing requests, sample labeling, or other associated information is unclear, the laboratory will contact the client for clarification. The laboratory retains the right to reject, or request re-collection and re-submission of, any sample believed to be unsuitable for testing. The laboratory will provide report comments regarding any samples with questionable suitability.
LABORATORY RESPONSIBILTY & SAMPLERS / CLIENTS RESPONSIBILTY The laboratory does not provide sampling services for its clients. All samples are tested as received, and all laboratory analysis results relate only to the portion tested. It is the samplers responsibility to provide a sample that is representative of the material being investigated. IT IS THE CLIENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO VERIFY THAT THE LABORATORY HOLDS THE CERTIFICATIONS OR APPROVALS REQUIRED BY THE DATA USER PRIOR TO THE SUBMISSION OF SAMPLES.
Some samples of these conversions are: 7465 ng = 7.465 ug 0.339 mg = 339 ug 244.7 mL = 0.2447 L 1428.7 L = 1.4287 M3 7.465 ug = 0.007465 mg 0.7891 Kg = 789.1 g 1.349 M3 = 1349 L 546 cc = 546 mL
CALCULATING AIR VOLUMES Calculating accurate air volumes (exact amounts of air drawn though air sampling media) is imperative in reaching meaningful results. The air volume is simply the product of two terms, flowrate and sampling time: Air Volume = Flowrate x Sampling Time
The flowrate is usually expressed in liters/minute or in milliliters/minute (mL/minute is the same as cc/minute). The sampling time needs to be expressed in minutes, and therefore the product of these two terms, the air volume, will be either liters or milliliters. Some samples of calculating air volumes are: 11.7 L/ min. 20 mL/min. 540 cc/min. 3.4 L/min. x x x x 240 minutes 462 minutes 366 minutes 480 minutes = = = = 2808 L 9240 mL (= 9.240 L) 197640 cc (= 197.640 L) 1632 L (= 1.632 M3)
CONCENTRATIONS : AN IMPORTANT CONCEPT Concentration is an important concept in expressing analytical results in environmental and industrial hygiene testing. A concentration is so much of something per something else. When dealing with concentrations, the word per is used to separate two quantities, such as in parts per million and mg/M3 . The most commonly used concentrations are: mg/Kg mg/M3 PPM fibers/cc mg/L (milligrams per kilogram) (milligrams per cubic meter) (parts per million) (fibers per cubic centimeter of air) (milligrams per liter)
Note that there are basically two types of concentrations, weight per weight and weight per volume. Weight per weight concentrations (mg/Kg) are used to express contaminant levels of solids, such as the level of lead in paint chips. Weight per volume concentrations (mg/M3 and mg/L) are used to express contaminant levels of both air and liquids. The amount of benzene vapor in air and the amount of iron in water (most likely expressed as mg/M3 and mg/L, respectively) would both be weight per volume concentrations. Obviously, concentrations are necessary to make sense out of analytical results. Knowing only the total weight of metal found on a filter is useless without knowing the exact amount of air in which that amount of metal was contained. WHEN SENDING SAMPLES TO SCHNEIDER LABORATORIES, INC. PLEASE INCLUDE THE AIR VOLUMES IF THEY ARE AIR SAMPLES. THE CONCENTRATION CANNOT BE CALCULATED WITHOUT THE AIR VOLUME. The concentration can always be determined if the amount of contaminant and the volume of air drawn through the sampler are known. Start with the weight amount of contaminant found on the entire sample, then divide by the air volume to arrive at the concentration, for example: A charcoal tube is sent to the lab for benzene analysis, but the volume of air, 24.17 L, was not included. The lab produces a result of 0.03 mg benzene. To compare these results to a PEL or TLV, the concentration is needed. 0.03 mg benzene 0.02417 M3 air = 1.24 mg/M3 benzene
Notice that liters were converted to cubic meters so that the result may be expressed as mg/M3, not mg/L. For fiber counting, as in asbestos analysis, the application is similar. The concentration is now number of fibers per volume of air. A 1243.7 L air sample is sent to the lab, but the air volume is not included. A result of 7847 fibers/filter was reported. Knowing the total number of fibers on the entire filter and the air volume, the concentration of fibers in air can easily be calculated: 7847 fibers = 0.0063 fibers/cc
1,243,000 cc air Notice the converstion from liters to cubic centimeters, so that the results are in fibers/cc not in fibers/L. Remember, when working with concentrations, both the weight value and the volume value can be changed into the preferred units before the division is done. For example, a result of 517.3 mg/L chlordane in water can be correctly expressed as any of the following, without changing the result: 517300 ug/L 517.3 ug/mL
One last word about concentrations: Parts per million, or PPM, is frequently used to express concentrations such as volume per volume of air, volume per volume of liquid (usually water aqueous solutions), and weight per weight. For example, in testing a solid for lead we found that it contained 34 ug of lead per gram of solid, we could say that the solid contained 34 PPM lead, since there are a million micrograms in one gram. Applying PPM values to lead contamination in water is not difficult if we remember one very important premise in chemistry. One milliliter (1.0 mL) of water weighs exactly one gram (1.0g). Knowing this, it is easy to understand that if water contains 69 ug of lead per mL, then that water is 69 PPM lead. This is because 69 ug/mL is the equivalent of saying 69 ug/g (remember, 1.0 mL of water weighs 1.0 g). So, 69 ug of lead per gram of water means, by definition, 69 PPM. Lastly, PPM can refer to volume of contaminant per volume of air. In this case the contaminant is usually an organic vapor. This type of PPM application is the most difficult to understand. It is based on the following two chemical principles: 1) A chemicals molecular weight is the number of grams of that chemical found in one mole of that chemical. 2) At 25o C temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure, one mole of any chemical (in a vapor state if it is normally a liquid) or gas occupies exactly the same amount of air space, 24.45 liters. Volume per air volume results of solvent vapors and gases in PPM, can be expressed by using the following: mg contaminant M3 air x 24.45 L/mole m.w. as g/mole = PPM contaminant in air
Always remember, when using PPM, volume or weight per volume must always be expressed never use mixed values such as weight per volume. Sometimes it is useful to convert results expressed in PPM to results expressed as a percentage (or vice versa), as shown below:
(percent) =
(0.0001)
Percent
TIME-WEIGHTED AVERAGES Time weighted averages are expressions on concentrations that have been time weighted for the purpose of comparison with 8-hour contaminant concentrations. In other words, if a sample result (always as a concentration) is multiplied by a factor that would make the resultant concentration represented the contaminant level if the sampling time had been exactly eight hours, instead of more or less than eight hours. If sampled for exactly 8 hours, the sample result (concentration) is already, by definition, an 8-hour TWA. If the sampling is less than eight hours, then the sample concentration is multiplied by a factor that is less than 1. This would take the concentration of contaminant to which the employee was exposed and spread it out to represent what the concentration would have been if the exposure was 8 hours. The weight of the contaminant would be unchanged. If sampling is more than 8 hours (for instance a worker who works 4 10-hour days), the sample concentration would be multiplied by a factor that is greater than 1; this would take the concentration of contaminant to which the employee was exposed and squeeze it into an 8-hour time frame to represent what the concentration would have been if the exposure was 8 hours, but the weight of the contaminant would be unchanged. TWAs are expressed as either PPM or mg/M3 values. Hygienists need to calculate TWAs for all their sample results because the OSHA PELs and the ACGIH TLVs are all expressed as either PPM TWAs or as mg/M3 TWAs. In order to compare results to the standards, both values need to be time weighted averages. The following calculations are used to arrive at 8hour TWAs. mg M3 PPM x minutes sampled 480 minutes minutes sampled 480 minutes = mg TWA M3 PPM TWA
While sampling a painter for mineral spirits, the pump ran for 6 hours and 15 minutes while he was painting, and he spent the remainder of his shift unexposed to solvent vapors. The lab reports a result of 0.344 mg/M3 mineral spirits for the charcoal tube. The following converts this concentration to an 8-hour TWA. 0.344 mg/M3 x 375 minutes 480 minutes = 0.269 mg/M3 TWA
Remember, the painter was sampled for less than 8 hours, so the factor multiplied by the concentration is less than 1.
A lab report for formaldehyde states that the exposure was 0.85 PPM. This sample was taken on an employee working a 12-hour shift, but was sampled for 11 hours and 15 minutes because he took a break. An 8-hour TWA is calculated in order to compare his exposure to the standard. 0.85 PPM x 675 minutes 480 minutes = 1.20 PPM TWA
Since sampling was more than 8 hours, a factor greater than 1 is multiplied raising the concentration to represent what the concentration would have been during an 8-hour period had the weight of formaldehyde found remained the same.
