Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program evaluates the performance of innovative air, water, pollution prevention and monitoring technologies that have the potential to improve human health and the environment. This technology brief, "Portable Technologies for Measuring Lead in Dust", contains a brief summary of the information obtained from the ETV Case Studies: Demonstrating Program Outcomes (EPA/600/R-06/001) (http://www.epa.gov/etv/pdfs/publications/600r06001/600r06001pv.pdf) and the verification reports/statements. The technologies verified by the ETV Program are portable and designed to be used to analyze dust samples in the field for lead. The verified technologies use either X-ray fluorescence (XRF) or anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV). The technology brief contains a short description of the test technologies, test descriptions and results used for verifying these portable technologies. The technical brief also contains a brief summary on the potential outcomes that could be attributed to the verified technologies.
