Gttide To abor~ Servi /c:;-~ .... ~0"' chemical analysis to local, state and federal agencies. .0&~ Q~ ERTIFIED BY AIHA AND A2LA, our laboratory of --..-qualified professionals offers: + Quality-assured analysis. + Competitive prices. + Short turn-around time. While our usual turn-around time is less than seven days, we can guarantee an even shorter turn-around time for a premium price. Our professional staff is always available to work with you prior to your sampling to ensure its quality and prevent any possible problems. We encourage you to coordinate with us so that we can provide a quick, direct response to your needs. In addition to the inorganic and organic analyses we offer, the laboratory staff provides: + Interpretations of results when requested. + Consultations on lead based paint issues. Modern technology, such as ion couple plasma atomic emission spectroscopy, is used to analyze samples for toxic metals in industrial hygiene samples. EPA-approved methods are used to perform chemical tests for wastewater and drinking water. I NORGANIC AND ORGANIC ANALYSIS. We specialize in metals analysis of paint samples, cassette filters, soil, and wipes, and we offer organic analyses of more than 80 compounds that can be captured on carbon tubes during routine air sampling. You can locate each compound in the tables on pages 4 and 5. We can provide additional analytical support for other unlisted analytes, but these requests must be coordinated with us in advance. Prices for each sample of inorganic and organic analyses are included on the insert at the back of this booklet.

Of Issued by the Laboratory Division U. S. Army Environmental Hygiene Activity-South Special Interest Lead Analysis. In October 1992, the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act was established. The Act, also called Title 10, was designed to develop a national strategy to elirnin.ate leadbased paint hazards. Under Title 10, all laboratory analysis for Lead in paint must be accredited by the EPA. Therefore, AIHA, in cooperation with the EPA, began quarterly audits of laboratories analyzing Lead. The Laboratory Division at the USAEHA-South participated in the first audit in the last quarter of 1992, and became one of less than 100 laboratories in the country proficient in Lead-in-paint analysis. South's laboratory was also rated proficient in wipe analysis of Lead by AIHA, and for the past 16 quality assurance audits (80 analyses) of Lead on filter, South has a perfect score. Ft. McPherson, Georgia 30330-5000 June 1993 Paint Chip Analysis. Much remains to be done in the field of lead abatement, particularly with regard to lead based paint. About half the buildings in the United States have at least one layer of lead based paint. Peeling still poses an exposure hazard because it often includes all layers of paint, and the soil around buildings with lead-based paint likely has significant lead concentration. The Army's Lead Paint Abatement Program will continue to require that paint chip analysis be conducted for the purpose of managing lead health risk assessment episode s and programs. The Laboratory Division at USAEHA-South is accredited and staffed to perform Lead analysis. In fact, the laboratory's most requested analysis is for Lead, especially paint chip analysis. In many of the paint samples, the Lead concentration exceeded 10% by weight; some samples contained as much as 26 % Lead by weight. Installation commanders will require quick, reliable support to ensure that Army personnel are not at risk from lead intoxications. The Laboratory Division is prepared to meet the demand and support this requirement.
