... to react with the iodine and then an ICP-MS standard bismuth solution was added as an internal standard. A 10% nitric acid solution was then added and thoroughly mixed.
From page 187...
... Analysis of reagent, filter, and spiked blanks identified contamination in two batches of ICP-MS sample runs accounting for 55% of the SMO samples. Blank concentrations were high as 5 ng/m3 (reported as effective ambient Pb concentrations)
From page 188...
... PM-Pb Field Blanks Eight PM2.5 and four TSP field blanks were collected at each airport (three field blanks per sampler per airport)
From page 189...
... Collocated Precision Given the importance of characterizing data quality at high PM-Pb concentrations, PM2.5Pb precision was further examined. Collocated sample pairs were ranked by the mean concentration for each pair and the precision was repeatedly calculated adding one pair at a time, starting with the highest concentration and adding sample pairs with decreasing concentration.

... PM-Pb Analysis by XRF with Comparison to ICP-MS Twenty-two airborne PM2.5 samples from each airport were sent to Cooper Environmental Services (CES) for elemental analysis by XRF.
