(a) Paint or other similar surface coating that is peeling, cracking, blistering, flaking, chipping or powdering or is on an accessible mouthable surfaces may be sampled for lead by the following methods:
(1) At
least on gram of paint or other surface coating should be collected from each
surface for approved laboratory analysis;
(2) A portable X-ray florescence analyzer may
be used to determine the presence of lead paint. In conducting sampling by
X-ray floresence the following determinations shall apply:
(i) Where substrate correction readings are
obtained, a mean reading of 1.6 milligram of lead per square centimeter or
greater shall be considered as satisfactory evidence of lead paint. A mean,
substrate corrected reading of less than 1.6 milligram of lead per square
centimeter but more than 0.4 milligrams of lead per square centimeter shall be
considered as inconclusive and in such case a sample, as described in paragraph
(1) of this subdivision may be obtained. A mean substrate corrected reading of
less than 0.4 milligrams of lead per square centimeter shall be considered as
negitive for lead paint.
(ii) If
substrate corrected readings cannot be obtained, a mean, uncorrected reading of
greater than 2.0 milligrams of lead per square centimeter shall be considered
as satisfactory evidence of lead paint. A mean reading of 2.0 milligrams of
lead per square centimeter or less shall be considered as inconclusive and in
such cases a sample, as described in paragraph (1) of this subdivision, may be
obtained.
(b) Any samples of painted surfaces, paint, water, dust, soil, food, consumer products and other potential lead sources collected during an environmental investigation must be analyzed by an approved laboratory as specified by the commissioner. The sample results may be used to evaluate possible sources of lead exposure.
