14、02-2:2012ISO 15202-2:2012(E)ForewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested
15、 in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Comm
16、ission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical
17、 committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall
18、not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.ISO 15202-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC 2, Workplace atmospheres.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15202-2:2001), which has been technically revised. T
19、he major changes in the second edition are as follows. Definitions have been updated. In Annex B, use of ammonium citrate leach solution has been eliminated. A new Annex H has been added to provide a method for sample dissolution using a 95 C hot block dissolution system. The original Annex H is now
20、 Annex I. A new Annex J has been added to provide guidance regarding sampler wall deposits.Annexes B through I form a normative part of this document. Annex A and Annex J are for information only.ISO 15202 consists of the following parts, under the general title Workplace air Determination of metals
21、 and metalloids in airborne particulate matter by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry: Part 1: Sampling Part 2: Sample preparation Part 3: Analysisiv ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS ISO 15202-2:2012ISO 15202-2:2012(E)IntroductionThe health of workers in many industries is at risk
22、through exposure by inhalation of toxic metals and metalloids. Industrial hygienists and other public health professionals need to determine the effectiveness of measures taken to control workers exposure, and this is generally achieved by making workplace air measurements. This part of ISO 15202 ha
23、s been published in order to make available a method for making valid exposure measurements for a wide range of metals and metalloids in use in industry. It will be of benefit to agencies concerned with health and safety at work, industrial hygienists and other public health professionals, analytica
24、l laboratories, industrial users of metals and metalloids and their workers.ISO 15202, published in three parts, specifies a generic method for the determination of the mass concentration of metals and metalloids in workplace air using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES
25、). ISO 15202-1 gives details of relevant International, European and National Standards which specify characteristics, performance requirements and test methods relating to sampling equipment. It also augments guidance provided elsewhere on assessment strategy and measurement strategy, as well as sp
26、ecifying a method for collecting samples of airborne particulate matter for subsequent chemical analysis. ISO 15202-2 (i.e. this part) describes a number of procedures for preparing sample solutions for analysis by ICP-AES. ISO 15202-3 gives requirements and test methods for the analysis of sample s
27、olutions by ICP-AES.The sample preparation methods described in this part of ISO 15202 are generally suitable for use with analytical techniques other than ICP-AES; e.g. atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).It has been assumed in the drafting
28、 of this part of ISO 15202 that the execution of its provisions and the interpretation of the results obtained are entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people.

This part of ISO 15202 does not purport to address any safety problems associated with
30、 its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this part of ISO 15202 to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1 Scope1.1 This part of ISO 15202 specifies a number of suitable methods for preparing test solutions f
31、rom samples of airborne particulate matter collected using the method specified in ISO 15202-1, for subsequent determination of metals and metalloids by ICP-AES using the method specified in ISO 15202-3. It contains information about the applicability of the methods with respect to the measurement o
32、f metals and metalloids for which limit values have been set. The methods can also be used in the measurement of some metals and metalloids for which limit values have not been set but no information about its applicability is provided in this case.NOTE The sample preparation methods described in th
33、is part of ISO 15202 are generally suitable for use with analytical techniques other than ICP-AES, e.g. atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) by ISO 85185and ISO 1117410and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) by ISO 3001111.1.2 The method specified in Annex B is applicable when maki
34、ng measurements for comparison with limit values for soluble metal or metalloid compounds.1.3 One or more of the sample dissolution methods specified in Annexes C through H are applicable when making measurements for comparison with limit values for total metals and metalloids and their compounds. I
