TRACE ELEMENTS IN URINE Event #, 00 March 6, 00
Event #, 00 Urine Arsenic The source of the test materials is human urine obtained from donor volunteers with informed consent. Urine was collected into polyethylene containers and then stored at 4 C. Following collection, urine from each donor was mixed and acidified to % v/v with nitric acid, and % (v/v) sulfamic acid was added to stabilize Hg. The urine was stored frozen at -80 ; after thawing at room temperature, precipitated salts were removed by centrifugation. The urine was separated into five pools and each was supplemented with different amounts of inorganic As 3+. Each pool was stirred for 4 hours to ensure thorough mixing prior to aliquoting 0-mL samples into acid-leached polypropylene vials. Samples were stored at -80 C prior to circulating for proficiency testing. The Target Value assigned for each PT material is the robust mean of the results reported by all participants in this event. The robust statistics were obtained utilizing algorithms based on those presented in ISO 358:005E Statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons. Values for urine arsenic range from 50.7 µg/l (0.68 µmol/l) to 78.8 µg/l (3.7 µmol/l). Acceptable ranges. The acceptable range is fixed at ±0% or ±6 µg/l for target values 30 µg/l. This provides a more realistic acceptability range at low concentrations of urine As, and the criteria are consistent with those in place for blood As. Discussion. Based upon the above criteria, 95.% of test results reported were judged as satisfactory, with one out of 5 participant laboratories (4.0%) reporting or more of the 5 results outside the acceptable ranges.

Event #, 00 Urine Cadmium The source of the test materials is human urine obtained from donor volunteers with informed consent. Urine was collected into polyethylene containers and then stored at 4 C. Following collection, urine from each donor was mixed and acidified to % v/v with nitric acid, and % (v/v) sulfamic acid was added to stabilize Hg. The urine was stored frozen at -80 ; after thawing at room temperature, precipitated salts were removed by centrifugation. The urine was separated into five pools and each was supplemented with different amounts of inorganic Cd +. Each pool was stirred for 4 hours to ensure thorough mixing prior to aliquoting 0-mL samples into acid-leached polypropylene vials. Samples were stored at -80 C prior to circulating for proficiency testing. The Target Value assigned for each PT material is the robust mean of the results reported by all participants in this event. The robust statistics were obtained utilizing algorithms based on those presented in ISO 358:005E Statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons. Values for urine cadmium range from.5 µg/l ( nmol/l) to 0. µg/l (79 nmol/l). Acceptable ranges. The acceptable range is fixed at ±5% or ± µg/l (9 nmol/l) around the target value whichever is greater. These criteria are used by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to assess performance for occupational medicine. Discussion. Based upon the above criteria, 97.7% of test results reported were judged as satisfactory, with one of the 6 participant laboratories (3.8%) reporting or more of the 5 results outside the acceptable ranges.

Event #, 00 Urine Lead The source of the test materials is human urine obtained from donor volunteers with informed consent. Urine was collected into polyethylene containers and then stored at 4 C. Following collection, urine from each donor was mixed and acidified to % v/v with nitric acid, and % (v/v) sulfamic acid was added to stabilize Hg. The urine was stored frozen at -80 ; after thawing at room temperature, precipitated salts were removed by centrifugation. The urine was separated into five pools and each was supplemented with different amounts of inorganic Pb +. Each pool was stirred for 4 hours to ensure thorough mixing prior to aliquoting 0-mL samples into acid-leached polypropylene vials. Samples were stored at -80 C prior to circulating for proficiency testing. The Target Value assigned for each PT material is the robust mean of the results reported by all participants in this event. The robust statistics were obtained utilizing algorithms based on those presented in ISO 358:005E Statistical methods for use in proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons. Values for urine lead range from 35.0 µg/l (0.7 µmol/l) to 93. µg/l (.4 µmol/l). Acceptable ranges. The acceptable range is fixed at ±0% or ±40 µg/l (0.9 µmol/l) around the target value, whichever is greater. These criteria are consistent with those established under CLIA 88 (Federal Register Volume 57, Number 40, 493. and 493.937, February 8, 99) for blood lead. Discussion. Based upon the above criteria, 95.4% of test results were judged as satisfactory, with one of the 6 participant laboratories (3.8%) reporting or more of the 5 results outside the acceptable ranges.

As, Cd, and Pb were spiked using a stock standard containing all elements in the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Refer to www.cdc.gov/exposurereport for more information on recent NHANES data for these elements in urine. In addition, these samples were spiked with leading elements present in other proficiency testing programs. The following table shows the additional elements spiked in the samples.
