Water quality - Lead-210 - Test method using liquid scintillation counting (ISO 13163:2021)
This document specifies a method for the measurement of 210Pb in all types of waters by liquid scintillation counting (LSC).
The method is applicable to test samples of supply/drinking water, rainwater, surface and ground water, as well as cooling water, industrial water, domestic, and industrial wastewater after proper sampling and handling, and test sample preparation. Filtration of the test sample is necessary. Lead‑210 activity concentration in the environment can vary and usually ranges from 2 mBq l-1 to 300 mBq l-1 [27][28].
Using currently available liquid scintillation counters, the limit of detection of this method for 210Pb is generally of the order of 20 mBq l-1 to 50 mBq l-1, which is lower than the WHO criteria for safe consumption of drinking water (100 mBq l−1).[4][6] These values can be achieved with a counting time between 180 min and 720 min for a sample volume from 0,5 l to 1,5 l. Higher activity concentrations can be measured by either diluting the sample or using smaller sample aliquots or both. The method presented in this document is not intended for the determination of an ultra-trace amount of 210Pb.
The range of application depends on the amount of dissolved material in the water and on the performance characteristics of the measurement equipment (background count rate and counting efficiency).
The method described in this document is applicable to an emergency situation.
The analysis of Pb adsorbed to suspended matter is not covered by this method.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the validity of this test method for the water samples tested.

Qualité de l'eau - Plomb 210 - Méthode d'essai par comptage des scintillations en milieu liquide (ISO 13163:2021)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de mesurage du 210Pb dans tous les types d’eau par comptage des scintillations en milieu liquide (CSL).
Cette méthode est applicable aux prises d’essai provenant d’eau potable/eau de boisson, d’eau de pluie, d’eau de surface, d’eau souterraine, ainsi que d’eau de refroidissement, d’eaux industrielles, domestiques, d’eaux usées industrielles en respectant un échantillonnage, une manipulation et une préparation des prises d’essai adaptés. Il est nécessaire de filtrer la prise d’essai. L’activité volumique du plomb 210 dans l’environnement peut fluctuer et est habituellement comprise entre 2 mBq l−1 et 300 mBq l-1 [27][28].
Avec les compteurs à scintillations en milieu liquide actuellement disponibles, la limite de détection de cette méthode pour le 210Pb est généralement de l’ordre de 20 mBq l−1 à 50 mBq l−1, ce qui est inférieur aux critères de sécurité de l’OMS pour la consommation d’eau potable (100 mBq l−1)[4][6]. Ces valeurs peuvent être atteintes avec un temps de comptage compris entre 180 min et 720 min pour une prise d’essai de 0,5 l à 1,5 l. Des activités volumiques supérieures peuvent être mesurées soit en diluant l’échantillon, soit en utilisant des aliquotes plus petites, soit les deux. La méthode indiquée dans le présent document n’est pas destinée à être utilisée pour déterminer la quantité de 210Pb sous forme d’ultra-traces.
Le domaine d’application dépend de la quantité de matière dissoute dans l’eau et des caractéristiques de performance de l’équipement de mesure (taux de comptage de bruit de fond et rendement de comptage).
La méthode décrite dans le présent document est applicable en situation d’urgence.
Elle ne couvre pas l’analyse du Pb adsorbé dans des matières en suspension.
Il incombe à l’utilisateur de s’assurer de la validité de cette méthode d’essai par rapport aux échantillons d’eau soumis à essai.
Kakovost vode - Svinec Pb-210 - Preskusna metoda s štetjem s tekočinskim scintilatorjem (ISO 13163:2021)
Ta dokument določa metodo za merjenje tehnecija 210Pb v vseh vrstah vode s štetjem s tekočinskim scintilatorjem (LSC).
Metoda se uporablja za preskusne vzorce vode iz omrežja/pitne vode, deževnice, površinske in podtalne vode
ter vode za hlajenje, industrijske vode, gospodinjske in industrijske odpadne vode po ustreznem vzorčenju oziroma ravnanju z vzorci in pripravi preskusnih vzorcev. Potrebna je filtracija preskusnih vzorcev. Aktivnost svinca 210
koncentracija v okolju se lahko razlikuje in se običajno giblje med 2 mBq l
-1 do 300 mBq l
-1 [27][28].
Pri uporabi trenutno razpoložljivih števcev s tekočinskim scintilatorjem mejna vrednost zaznavanja te metode za 210Pb
običajno znaša 20 mBq l
-1 do 50 mBq l
-1, kar je nižje od meril SZO za varno
porabo pitne vode (100 mBq l−1).[4][6]
Te vrednosti se lahko dosežejo v času štetja med 180 in 720 minut za količino vzorca od 0,5 do 1,5 l. Višje koncentracije aktivnosti se lahko izmerijo z redčenjem vzorca ali raztopinami manjših vzorcev ali obojim. Metoda, predstavljena v tem dokumentu, ni namenjena določanju količine ultra-sledov tehnecija 210Pb.
Območje uporabe je odvisno od količine raztopljenih snovi v vodi in od lastnosti merilne opreme (stopnja štetja v ozadju in učinkovitost štetja).
V tem dokumentu opisana metoda se uporablja v izrednih razmerah.
Ta metoda ne zajema analize svinca, adsorbiranega na lebdečo snov.
Uporabnik mora zagotoviti veljavnost te preskusne metode za vzorce vode, ki se preskušajo.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
