Quality Assurance for Field Procedures Sample Clauses

Quality Assurance for Field Procedures. Particular care will be exercised to avoid the following common ways in which cross contamination or background contamination may compromise groundwater samples: • Improper storage or transportation of equipment • Contaminating the equipment or sample bottles on site by setting them on or near potential contamination sources such as uncovered ground, a contaminated vehicle, or vehicle exhaust • Handling bottles or equipment with dirty hands or gloves • Inadequate cleaning of well purging or sampling devices Special care will be exercised to prevent cross-contamination of sampling equipment, sampling bottles, or anything else that could potentially compromise the integrity of samples. Field method quality assurance verification procedures are described below in Section 4.4, “Field Blanks and Replicates”. Field personnel will work under the assumption that contamination exists in land surface soil and vegetation, near sampling points, in wash water, etc. Therefore, exposure to these media will be minimized by taking at least the following precautions: • Minimizing the amount of rinse water left on washed materials • Minimizing the time sampling containers are exposed to airborne dust or volatile contaminants in ambient air • Placing equipment on clean, ground-covering materials instead of on the land surface Clean gloves made of appropriately inert material, for example powderless nitrile gloves, will be worn by all field crew. Gloves will be kept clean while handling sampling-related materials. The gloves will be replaced by a new pair when soiled and between each sampling point.
