ASTM D 5673 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Elements in Water by Inductively Coupled PlasmaMass Spectrometry
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Jul 1, 2005
Scope:
(Footnote *)
This test method covers the determination of dissolved elements in
ground water, surface water, and
drinking water. It may also be used for the determination of
total-recoverable elements in these
waters as well as wastewater.(Footnote 2)
This test method should be used by analysts experienced in the use of
inductively coupled plasma -
mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), the interpretation of spectral and matrix
interferences and procedures
for their correction.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure the validity of the test
method for waters of untested
matrices.
Table 1 lists elements for which the test method applies, with
recommended masses and typical
estimated instrumental detection limits using conventional pneumatic
nebulization. Actual working
detection limits are sample dependent and, as the sample matrix
varies, these detection limits may
also vary. In time, other elements may be added as more information
becomes available and as
required.
This method covers the analysis of mine dewatering groundwater and
wastewater effluent in the range
of 2-120 µg/L dissolved antimony and 3-200 µg/L dissolved
arsenic.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
