1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) have been used for fire-fighting purposes around Australia
for decades. AFFF products historically used on some Department of Defence (Defence) sites
contain per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as active ingredients.
The historical use of AFFF has resulted in contamination of soil, groundwater, sediments,
surface water and infrastructure at many locations where AFFF has been used or stored. While
the risks to human health and the environment from PFAS are still the subject of much
research, PFAS are highly persistent in the environment, can bio-accumulate, and may be
harmful to animal and human health (US EPA, 2014).
Defence is in the process of investigating the potential for PFAS to be present on-site and off-
site in groundwater, surface water, soil and sediments at RAAF Base Townsville (the site) as
part of a process of prioritising any future investigations. As part of this, preliminary and limited
sampling and analysis of environmental media has been conducted to evaluate the potential for
the site to be a source of PFAS to off-site areas.
This investigation is intended to be a snapshot of potential off-site presence of PFAS
only, and should be regarded as a preceding step to any future preliminary
investigations that would be conducted in accordance with the approaches specified by
the National Environmental Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure
(ASC NEPM).
1.2 Objective
The objective of the investigation was to test for the presence of PFAS in environmental media.
This was to provide an indication of the potential for PFAS to have migrated off-site via
groundwater or surface water. This was to assist Defence to meet its objective of facilitating the
early identification of potential exposure risks to off-site users of groundwater for the purpose of
prioritising any future investigations.
1.3 Scope
The scope of the investigation at RAAF Base Townsville comprised:
Selection of ten (10) existing groundwater monitoring wells, with an emphasis on wells
that may indicate the potential for PFAS to be present off-site.
Collection of samples from the 10 selected groundwater wells.
Selection of up to three locations for surface water/stormwater drainage and sediment
sampling at locations that may indicate potential for off-site presence of PFAS via surface
runoff and stormwater drainage.
Collection of up to three surface water and up to three sediment samples from the
selected locations.
Laboratory analysis of samples for a suite of PFAS and other parameters.
Evaluation and interpretation of results with respect to a set of screening levels specified
by Defence for PFAS, and other Nationally applicable criteria for other parameters.

1.4 Limitations
This report has been prepared by GHD for Jones Lang LaSalle and Department of Defence
(Defence) and may only be used and relied on by Jones Lang LaSalle and Department of
Defence for the purpose agreed between GHD and Jones Lang LaSalle and Department of
Defence as set out in section 1.2 of this report.
GHD otherwise disclaims responsibility to any person other than Jones Lang LaSalle and
Defence arising in connection with this report. GHD also excludes implied warranties and
conditions, to the extent legally permissible.
The services undertaken by GHD in connection with preparing this report were limited to those
specifically detailed in the report and are subject to the scope limitations set out in the report.
The opinions, conclusions and any recommendations in this report are based on conditions
encountered and information reviewed at the date of preparation of the report. GHD has no
responsibility or obligation to update this report to account for events or changes occurring
subsequent to the date that the report was prepared.
The opinions, conclusions and any recommendations in this report are based on assumptions
made by GHD listed in Section 1.5 and contained throughout this report. GHD disclaims liability
arising from any of the assumptions being incorrect.
GHD has prepared this report on the basis of information provided by Jones Lang LaSalle,
Department of Defence and others who provided information to GHD (including Government
authorities), which GHD has not independently verified or checked beyond the agreed scope of
work. GHD does not accept liability in connection with such unverified information, including
errors and omissions in the report which were caused by errors or omissions in that information.
The opinions, conclusions and any recommendations in this report are based on information
obtained from, and testing undertaken at or in connection with, specific sample points. Site
conditions at other parts of the site may be different from the site conditions found at the specific
sample points.
Investigations undertaken in respect of this report are constrained by the particular site
conditions, such as the location of buildings, services and vegetation. As a result, not all
relevant site features and conditions may have been identified in this report.
Site conditions (including the presence of hazardous substances and/or site contamination) may
change after the date of this Report. GHD does not accept responsibility arising from, or in
connection with, any change to the site conditions. GHD is also not responsible for updating this
report if the site conditions change.
1.5 Assumptions
Being preliminary in nature, the investigation outcomes are necessarily subject to a number of
limitations which are contained throughout the report. The key assumptions are listed below:
As the investigation is intended to precede any subsequent preliminary and detailed
investigation that would be in accordance with the ASC NEPM, no conceptual site models
have been used as basis for design of the sampling and analysis plans for the
investigation
Groundwater sample locations have been limited to existing investigation and abstraction
bores and therefore:
– The groundwater sampling locations were selected on the basis of accessibility and a
limited understanding of site and regional geology, hydrogeology and hydrology, and
potential sources of PFAS.
GHD | Report for Jones Lang LaSalle - Defence per- and poly-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Environmental Management Preliminary Sampling Program, 31/34005 | 3
– Information on the construction and condition of groundwater investigation and
abstraction bores was limited to information contained in the State groundwater
database, therefore the suitability of the groundwater bore for providing a
representative sample of surrounding aquifer conditions cannot be confirmed.
Sampling has been conducted at each location once, and as such the results of the
investigation represent a snapshot at one particular time and do not take into account
possible seasonal variations.
While consideration has been given to possible on-site sources of PFAS and the
sampling plan designed accordingly, no site history or other information has been
considered in relation to other potential contaminants of concern.
The investigation is focused on early identification of potential impacts to off-site users of
groundwater rather than potential ecological impacts or impacts to human health arising
from presence of PFAS in surface water.

2. Methodology
2.1 Sample locations
Details of the nature and number of sample locations are contained in Table 1. This includes
information on proposed and actual sample locations.
Searches of the State groundwater database did not identify the presence of any off-site
groundwater monitoring wells considered suitable for fulfilling the project objective. Therefore,
established on-site groundwater wells (including many in close proximity to the site boundary)
were sampled instead to provide an indication of the potential for off-site contamination.
The groundwater sampling was complemented with surface water and sediment sampling within
drainage lines on Defence land near points of discharge from the site.
The proposed and actual groundwater and surface water / sediment sampling locations are
shown on Figure 1.
The groundwater sample locations were selected on the basis of (a) the presence of existing
bores and their suitability for sampling, and (b) their location with respect to potential PFAS
sources.
Surface water / stormwater and sediment sampling locations were selected with the aim of
identifying areas of potential or likely runoff from PFAS sources present on site. This was based
on (a) likely direction of surface drainage from PFAS sources on site, based on topography, (b)
drainage lines originating from or crossing through the site that were likely to receive drainage
from PFAS sources on site, (c) drainage lines connecting with offsite surface water bodies, and
(d) likely accessibility (e.g. proximity to roads and access paths).
To protect the privacy of landowners who granted access to their properties for the purposes of
this project, no site addresses, names or co-ordinates are presented in this report.

2.2 Sampling methodology
2.2.1 Groundwater
The groundwater sampling methodology was in accordance with:
EPA Victoria Publication 668 Hydrogeological Assessments (Groundwater Quality)
Guidelines 20061
EPA Victoria Publication 669, Groundwater Sampling Guidelines 20001
ASC NEPM (as amended in 2013) Schedule B(2) Guideline on Site Characterisation
EPA Victoria Publication IWRG 701, Sampling and analysis of waters, wastewaters, soils
and wastes 20091
Australian Standard (AS) 4482.1 Guide to the investigation and sampling of sites with
potentially contaminated soil
The following methodology was applied:
1. The well that was intended for sampling was positively identified. Any ambiguity was
resolved before proceeding. Where contaminated groundwater was suspected, wells with
the least potential to be contaminated were sampled first to minimise the risk of cross
contamination between samples.
2. The depth to groundwater in the well was measured by the use of an interface probe.
Prior to measuring, the bore cap was removed and the well head level was allowed to
stabilise before measurements were made. Depth measurements were referenced to the
top of well casing as an established datum. Where possible, depth measurements were
recorded to the nearest 1 mm. Repeat measurements were made at subsequent time
intervals so that equilibrium was attained if there was any doubt. Any field notes regarding
odour or other observations were recorded. Low flow sampling methodologies were used
to collect groundwater samples. The objective of this approach was to remove the
minimum amount of water to obtain representative aquifer samples. It relies on horizontal
flow from the aquifer directly into the pump, rather than dewatering of the well column
leading to inflow. This is verified through the careful monitoring of water level deflections
and by avoiding to the extent practicable the drawdown of the water in the well due to
pumping. The water level was left to stabilise to the standing level between each pump
cycle.

3. All reusable sampling equipment was decontaminated prior to and at completion of
sampling at each sample location. Contaminated or likely to be contaminated equipment,
instruments and other items were cleaned and / or sterilised before they were re-used.
The decontamination process comprised cleaning with Decon 90, a single rinse with tap
water, followed by a triple rinse with de-ionised water using a spray bottle. Only Teflon
free sampling equipment was used.
4. Since the method draws water from a discrete layer of the aquifer, the level of the pump
was recorded so that repetitive sampling could be undertaken at the same level of the
aquifer.
5. The pump was lowered carefully into the well and the hanging cable locked at the correct
position having regard to the depth to groundwater, the screened interval and the total
depth of the well. The well was allowed to stabilise to the initial SWL. Care was taken
when lowering sampling equipment into the well to avoid excessive disturbance and re-
suspension of sediment. The intake part of the sampling equipment was suspended
inside the well screen so as to minimise the volume of stagnant groundwater required to
be purged and intercept the inflowing groundwater from the target formation. The pump
cycle rate was set so that the water level returned to the initial SWL before the next pump
cycle.
6. Purging was conducted until the groundwater parameters had stabilised as noted above
and (where reasonable) a minimum of one bore volume had been removed. Parameter
measurements were recorded at regular intervals (i.e. every two to five minutes or every
two to five litres). A minimum of three readings were required to confirm stabilisation.
Descriptions of the visual and olfactory characteristics of the groundwater were recorded
each time a measurement was made and included details such as elapsed time, volume
purged, colour, turbidity, odour, sheen etc. All measured stabilisation parameters and
field observations were recorded on GHD’s standard purging and sampling field sheet pro
forma. The parameters were considered stable when three consecutive readings were
within: 0.05 for pH; 3% for EC; 10% for DO; 0.2 oC for temperature; and 10 mV for Eh.
Where drawdown had been observed, or parameters were unstable, a minimum of three
bore volumes was removed.
7. Once parameters had stabilised, a sample was collected directly from the low flow
sampler into laboratory prepared sampling container for each parameter. For all samples
analysed for PFAS only Teflon free containers were used. Sample containers included:
laboratory supplied HDPE bottles for PFAS analysis, and laboratory supplied analyte
specific vessels for analysis of other chemicals. Sample collection was undertaken so as
to minimise the entry of air into the sample by running the outflow from the sampling
device down the side of the container, rather than allowing it to cascade into the
container.
8. If, after prolonged purging the indicator parameters did not stabilise to within the specified
limits, the original well and gravel pack volume was estimated and at least three well
volumes of groundwater was purged. Whilst this was not the preferred approach, it
provided a contingency based on the assumption that purged water is acceptably
representative of formation water.
9. Low yielding wells that were purged dry were left to recover. Following recovery of
groundwater levels in the well, sampling proceeded on the assumption that the
groundwater represented inflow from the hydrostratigraphic unit screened by the well. In
this instance, measurement of stabilisation parameters proceeded as per the specified
procedure to provide a cross check and so that representative formation water was being
collected.

10. Once collected, groundwater samples were labelled and stored in ice chilled cooler
boxes. Samples were kept out of direct sunlight. Samples were dispatched to the primary
and secondary laboratories under Chain of Custody (COC) documentation. Verified
copies of the chain of custody were retained.
11. Low flow sampling generally provides low turbidity samples and the need for filtering may
be reduced or prevented. Where samples are turbid, they may contain suspended
particles with adsorbed contaminants. The need for filtering depended on individual wells
and the samples produced. The inclusion of these particles in the sample may result in
exchange between the adsorbed and dissolved phase leading to erroneous results.
Ideally, the samples were collected so that there was no need to filter, and filtration was
not used to compensate for inadequate sampling practice. If filtration was deemed
necessary, the sample was passed through a 0.45 um filter prior to collection in the
appropriate vessel. Sample containers for metals analysis were preserved with acid to
retain dissolved metals in solution. Acidified sample bottles were not used if samples
were not filtered in the field. This avoided stripping any adsorbed metals from the
remaining suspended particles.
12. Following use, the equipment was removed from the well. The pump was dismantled and
decontaminated together with any other equipment including hoses, water level meters
and flow cells. The decontamination process comprised cleaning as described above.
Only Teflon free sampling equipment was used. The pump bladder was replaced
between each sampling location to minimise the potential for failure and to minimise any
risk of cross contamination since the bladders are difficult to decontaminate.
13. Potentially contaminated purge water was collected and stored at an appropriate location
on-site in consultation with the Regional Environmental Officer (REO). Upon receipt of the
analytical results, GHD arranged for the purge water to be disposed of appropriately by a
liquid waste contractor licenced to receive the type of waste in accordance with
Queensland legislation and waste screening criteria.
2.2.2 Surface water and sediment sampling
The sampling methodology was in accordance with:
ASC NEPM (as amended in 2013) Schedule B(2) Guideline on Site Characterisation
EPA Victoria Publication IWRG 701, Sampling and analysis of waters, wastewaters, soils
and wastes 2009
The following methodology was applied:
1. The location that was intended for sampling was identified and marked on a site plan with
reference to permanent features where possible.
2. Any reusable sampling equipment was decontaminated prior and at completion of
sampling at each sample location. Contaminated or likely to be contaminated equipment,
instruments and other items were cleaned and / or sterilised before re-use. The
decontamination process comprised cleaning with Decon 90, a single rinse with tap
water, followed by a triple rinse with de-ionised water using a spray bottle. Only Teflon
free sampling equipment was used.
3. Surface water samples were collected directly from the water body from the embankment
using a long handled sampler, and were decanted directly to laboratory prepared sample
bottles. Field parameters (pH, EC, DO, temperature and redox potential) were measured
at the time of sampling using a calibrated water quality meter.
8 | GHD | Report for Jones Lang LaSalle - Defence per- and poly-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Environmental Management Preliminary Sampling Program, 31/34005
4. Sediment samples were collected by the use of a sediment grab sampler and placed
immediately into Teflon free laboratory prepared jars.
5. Once collected, samples were labelled and stored in ice chilled cooler boxes. Samples
were kept out of direct sunlight. Sample were dispatched to the primary and secondary
laboratories under Chain of Custody (COC) documentation. Verified copies of the chain of
custody were retained.
6. GPS coordinates were recorded for all surface water and sediment sampling locations.
7.
2.2.3 Sample handling and field QA/QC
Once collected, samples of all media were labelled and stored in ice chilled cooler boxes.
Sample were dispatched to the primary and secondary laboratories under Chain of Custody
(COC) documentation. Verified copies of the chain of custody were retained.
Potential sources of false positive PFAS detections were minimised through adoption of the
recommended mitigation practices and alternative products and practices outlined in DER 2016.
The exception to this was the use of a detergent (Decon 90) to decontaminate the interface
probe as discussed above.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance samples were analysed for PFAS at the following rates:
(a) Intra-laboratory duplicates - one secondary sample for each 10 primary samples, (b) Inter-
laboratory duplicates - one secondary sample for each 10 primary samples, and (c) Trip blank
and rinsate blank samples - one of each per base. The rinsate blank samples were used to
assess any potential cross contamination from the only piece of equipment that will be reused in
each bore which was the interface meter.
2.3 Laboratory analysis
Sediment samples were analysed at ALS Environmental, a National Association of Testing
Authorities (NATA) accredited commercial laboratories. Groundwater and surface water
samples were analysed at two National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited
commercial laboratories as follows:
ALS Environmental – analysis of all primary samples
SGS Environmental – analysis of all secondary samples
All samples were tested at standard laboratory detection limits and standard laboratory
turnaround times.

4.4 Data Quality
High standards of data integrity and quality assurance and quality control (QA / QC) were
maintained throughout the task in accordance with the guidelines provided in the ASC NEPM
and the Australian Standard (AS 4482.1-2005) and included:
Use of appropriately qualified and trained staff
Preservation of samples with ice during transport from the field to the laboratory
Transportation of samples with accompanying chain of custody documentation
Compliance with sampling holding times
Review of results of duplicate samples
Review of results for split samples
Review of internal analysis of laboratory duplicates, spikes and blanks
The results of the QA/QC program were reviewed and are considered to provide an acceptable
degree of confidence in the analytical program completed. Overall the analytical data set is
considered to be valid and acceptable for the purposes of this project.

General Comments
The analytical procedures used by the Environmental Division have been developed from established internationally recognized procedures such as those published by the USEPA, APHA, AS and NEPM. In house
developed procedures are employed in the absence of documented standards or by client request.
Where moisture determination has been performed, results are reported on a dry weight basis.
Where a reported less than (<) result is higher than the LOR, this may be due to primary sample extract/digestate dilution and/or insufficient sample for analysis.
Where the LOR of a reported result differs from standard LOR, this may be due to high moisture content, insufficient sample (reduced weight employed) or matrix interference.
When sampling time information is not provided by the client, sampling dates are shown without a time component. In these instances, the time component has been assumed by the laboratory for processing purposes.
Where a result is required to meet compliance limits the associated uncertainty must be considered. Refer to the ALS Contact for details.
CAS Number = CAS registry number from database maintained by Chemical Abstracts Services. The Chemical Abstracts Service is a division of the American Chemical Society.
LOR = Limit of reporting
^ = This result is computed from individual analyte detections at or above the level of reporting
ø = ALS is not NATA accredited for these tests.
Key :
EG005T (Total Metals by ICP-AES): Sample EB1611813-002 shows poor duplicate results due to sample heterogeneity. Confirmed by visual inspection.l
TDS by method EA-015 may bias high due to the presence of fine particulate matter, which may pass through the prescribed GF/C paper.l
EP231: Particular samples required dilution due to sample matrix . LOR values have been adjusted accordingly.l
PFOS and PFOA results are reported as an aggregate of linear and branched isomers.l

General Comments
The analytical procedures used by the Environmental Division have been developed from established internationally recognized procedures such as those published by the USEPA, APHA, AS and NEPM. In house
developed procedures are employed in the absence of documented standards or by client request.
Where moisture determination has been performed, results are reported on a dry weight basis.
Where a reported less than (<) result is higher than the LOR, this may be due to primary sample extract/digestate dilution and/or insufficient sample for analysis. Where the LOR of a reported result differs from standard LOR, this may be due to high moisture content, insufficient sample (reduced weight employed) or matrix interference.
Anonymous = Refers to samples which are not specifically part of this work order but formed part of the QC process lot
CAS Number = CAS registry number from database maintained by Chemical Abstracts Services. The Chemical Abstracts Service is a division of the American Chemical Society.
LOR = Limit of reporting
RPD = Relative Percentage Difference
# = Indicates failed QC

Laboratory Duplicate (DUP) Report
The quality control term Laboratory Duplicate refers to a randomly selected intralaboratory split. Laboratory duplicates provide information regarding method precision and sample heterogeneity. The permitted ranges
for the Relative Percent Deviation (RPD) of Laboratory Duplicates are specified in ALS Method QWI -EN/38 and are dependent on the magnitude of results in comparison to the level of reporting: Result < 10 times LOR:
No Limit; Result between 10 and 20 times LOR: 0% - 50%; Result > 20 times LOR: 0% - 20%.

Method Blank (MB) and Laboratory Control Spike (LCS) Report
The quality control term Method / Laboratory Blank refers to an analyte free matrix to which all reagents are added in the same volumes or proportions as used in standard sample preparation. The purpose of this QC
parameter is to monitor potential laboratory contamination. The quality control term Laboratory Control Spike (LCS) refers to a certified reference material, or a known interference free matrix spiked with target
analytes. The purpose of this QC parameter is to monitor method precision and accuracy independent of sample matrix. Dynamic Recovery Limits are based on statistical evaluation of processed LCS.

Analysis Holding Time Compliance
Holding times for VOC in soils vary according to analytes of interest. Vinyl Chloride and Styrene holding time is 7 days; others 14 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all VOC analytes and
should be verified in case the reported breach is a false positive or Vinyl Chloride and Styrene are not key analytes of interest/concern.
Holding time for leachate methods (e.g. TCLP) vary according to the analytes reported. Assessment compares the leach date with the shortest analyte holding time for the equivalent soil method. These are: organics
14 days, mercury 28 days & other metals 180 days. A recorded breach does not guarantee a breach for all non-volatile parameters.
If samples are identified below as having been analysed or extracted outside of recommended holding times, this should be taken into consideration when interpreting results.
This report summarizes extraction / preparation and analysis times and compares each with ALS recommended holding times (referencing USEPA SW 846, APHA, AS and NEPM) based on the sample container
provided. Dates reported represent first date of extraction or analysis and preclude subsequent dilutions and reruns. A listing of breaches (if any) is provided herein.

CE121026 R0QC SUMMARY
MB blank results are compared to the Limit of Reporting
LCS and MS spike recoveries are measured as the percentage of analyte recovered from the sample compared the the amount of analyte spiked into the sample.
DUP and MSD relative percent differences are measured against their original counterpart samples according to the formula : the absolute difference of the two results divided
by the average of the two results as a percentage. Where the DUP RPD is 'NA' , the results are less than the LOR and thus the RPD is not applicable.

MB blank results are compared to the Limit of Reporting
LCS and MS spike recoveries are measured as the percentage of analyte recovered from the sample compared the the amount of analyte spiked into the sample.
DUP and MSD relative percent differences are measured against their original counterpart samples according to the formula : the absolute difference of the two results divided
by the average of the two results as a percentage. Where the DUP RPD is 'NA' , the results are less than the LOR and thus the RPD is not applicable.

METHOD METHODOLOGY SUMMARY
METHOD SUMMARY
pH in Soil Sludge Sediment and Water: pH is measured electrometrically using a combination electrode (glass plus
reference electrode) and is calibrated against 3 buffers purchased commercially. For soils, an extract with water is
made at a ratio of 1:5 and the pH determined and reported on the extract. Reference APHA 4500-H+.
AN101
Total Dissolved Solids: A well-mixed filtered sample of known volume is evaporated to dryness at 180°C and the
residue weighed. Approximate methods for correlating chemical analysis with dissolved solids are available.
Reference APHA 2540 C.
AN113
This method is used to calculation the balance of major Anions and Cations in water samples and converts major
ion concentration to milliequivalents and then summed. Anions sum and Cation sum is calculated as a difference
and expressed as a percentage.
AN121
Alkalinity (and forms of) by Titration: The sample is titrated with standard acid to pH 8.3 (P titre) and pH 4.5 (T titre)
and permanent and/or total alkalinity calculated. The results are expressed as equivalents of calcium carbonate or
recalculated as bicarbonate, carbonate and hydroxide. Reference APHA 2320. Internal Reference AN135
AN135
TOC and DOC in Water: A homogenised micro portion of sample is injected into a heated reaction chamber
packed with an oxidative catalyst that converts organic carbon to carbon dioxide. The CO2 is measured using a
non-dispersive infrared detector. The process is fully automated in a commercially available analyser. If required
a sugar value can be calculated from the TOC result . Reference APHA 5310 B.
AN190
Chemical oxygen demand can be calculated/estimated based on the O2/C relation as 2.67*NPOC ( TOC). This is
an estimate only and the factor will vary with sample matrix so results should be interpreted with caution.
AN190
Chloride by Aquakem DA: Chloride reacts with mercuric thiocyanate forming a mercuric chloride complex. In the
presence of ferric iron, highly coloured ferric thiocyanate is formed which is proportional to the chloride
concentration. Reference APHA 4500Cl-
AN274
Mercury by Cold Vapour AAS in Waters: Mercury ions are reduced by stannous chloride reagent in acidic solution
to elemental mercury. This mercury vapour is purged by nitrogen into a cold cell in an atomic absorption
spectrometer or mercury analyser. Quantification is made by comparing absorbances to those of the calibration
standards. Reference APHA 3112/3500.
AN311/AN312
Metals by ICP-OES: Samples are preserved with 10% nitric acid for a wide range of metals and some non-metals.
This solution is measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma. Solutions are aspirated into an argon plasma at
8000-10000K and emit characteristic energy or light as a result of electron transitions through unique energy
levels. The emitted light is focused onto a diffraction grating where it is separated into components .
AN320/AN321
Photomultipliers or CCDs are used to measure the light intensity at specific wavelengths. This intensity is directly
proportional to concentration. Corrections are required to compensate for spectral overlap between elements.
Reference APHA 3120 B.
AN320/AN321
ICP-OES (Ultrasonic Nebuliser): After preservation with 10% nitric acid, a wide range of metals and some
non-metals in solution can be measured by ICP- Ultrasonic nebulisation. Solutions are aspirated using an
ultrasonic nebuliser into an argon plasma at 8000-10000K and emit characteristic energy or light as a result of
electron transitions through unique energy levels. The emitted light is focused onto a diffraction grating where it is
separated into components.
AN320/AN322
Photomultipliers or CCDs are used to measure the light intensity at specific wavelengths. This intensity is directly
proportional to concentration. Corrections are required to compensate for spectral overlap between elements.
Reference APHA 3120 B
AN322
Free and Total Carbon Dioxide may be calculated using alkalinity forms only when the samples TDS is <500mg/L.
If TDS is >500mg/L free or total carbon dioxide cannot be reported . APHA4500CO2 D.
Calculation
Page 6 of 725-May-2016
CE121026 R0
Samples analysed as received.
Solid samples expressed on a dry weight basis.
Where "Total" analyte groups are reported (for example, Total PAHs, Total OC Pesticides) the total will be calculated as the sum of the individual
analytes, with those analytes that are reported as <LOR being assumed to be zero. The summed (Total) limit of reporting is calcuated by summing
the individual analyte LORs and dividing by two. For example, where 16 individual analytes are being summed and each has an LOR of 0.1 mg/kg,
the "Totals" LOR will be 1.6 / 2 (0.8 mg/kg). Where only 2 analytes are being summed, the " Total" LOR will be the sum of those two LORs.
Some totals may not appear to add up because the total is rounded after adding up the raw values.
If reported, measurement uncertainty follow the ± sign after the analytical result and is expressed as the expanded uncertainty calculated using a
coverage factor of 2, providing a level of confidence of approximately 95%, unless stated otherwise in the comments section of this report.
Results reported for samples tested under test methods with codes starting with ARS -SOP, radionuclide or gross radioactivity concentrations are
expressed in becquerel (Bq) per unit of mass or volume or per wipe as stated on the report. Becquerel is the SI unit for activity and equals one
nuclear transformation per second.
Note that in terms of units of radioactivity:
a. 1 Bq is equivalent to 27 pCi
b. 37 MBq is equivalent to 1 mCi
For results reported for samples tested under test methods with codes starting with ARS -SOP, less than (<) values indicate the detection limit for
each radionuclide or parameter for the measurement system used. The respective detection limits have been calculated in accordance with ISO
11929.
