ASTM E 1792 is associated with which sampling method?

• A. Air Sampling Pumps
• B. Ghost Wipes
• C. Water Sample Bottles
• D. Lead hazard sampling protocol

Answer: (B)

ASTM E1792 guides the collection of lead dust from indoor surfaces using wipe sampling. It outlines how to perform surface sampling with pre-moistened wipes—Ghost Wipes are a common tool for this purpose—so you get a consistent measure of surface contamination, usually reported as micrograms of lead per square foot (or per area). This approach focuses on the residue left on surfaces, which is different from sampling air with pumps or collecting water in bottles. The other options describe different media or generic protocols, not the specific wipe-sampling method that E1792 defines.
