They are more sensitive because their bodies are smaller and still growing. Also, they normally put their fingers and other things in their mouth, even if they are dirty. Do I live In an affected area? Large areas of Washington state have soil polluted with arsenic and lead from historic smelter stack emissions or lead -arsenate orchard pesticides in use in the early- to mid -1900s. Enter your address into our online map, Dirt Alert, to see if soil is potentially affected: apps.ecology.wa.gov/dirtalert/ Counties that may have polluted soil include: • Chelan • Kitsap • Snohomish • Thurston • Douglas • Okanogan • Spokane • Yakima • King • Pierce • Stevens Other sources of arsenic and lead that can locally pollute soil include arsenic -treated wood, lead paint, and air emissions from the combustion of leaded gasoline in high -traffic areas. This guide doesn't target these types of pollution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website has information about sources of lead around the home and what you can do: www.epa.gov/lead/protect-your-family- exposures-lead Publication 06-Ou9-099 12 Page 1 Revised August 2019 Submitted: a ZIX Y L Rwiria. .. Toxics Cleanup Program Step 3. Analyzing the soil samples A laboratory must analyze your soil samples to identify the arsenic and lead levels. The lab can also provide a general estimate of the cost to analyze your samples. They also may offer sample jars. Transport the samples to the lab as soon as it is convenient. In the meantime, store them in a cool, dark place until they can be delivered to the lab, preferably in a refrigerator or cooler on ice. You can deliver the samples to the lab or ship them using a parcel service. Once the lab receives the samples, they should be able to perform the analysis and report the results to you within three to four weeks. How do I find a lab that can complete these tests? Analytical labs can be found online or in the yellow pages. You do not necessarily need to use a lab near your home because many labs can work with you through the mail. Not all labs can analyze metals in soil. Ecology maintains a list of labs that are accredited by the state to perform arsenic and lead soil analyses. 6 (_t1JPu' Utfl &'�I u.l: 11 �4�6 t5�2 can help you locate an appropriate lab to analyze your samples. If you have questions or would like Ecology to send you a current list of labs, please contact us (see page 1). Ask lab staff the following questions: a Can they analyze arsenic and lead in soil by SW 846 Methods 60101), 602013? 0 Can they screen the sample to 2 millimeters (mm) if necessary? o Can you mail samples to them? 0 How much will it cost? • How long will it take? If the answer to the first two questions is yes, the lab should be able to accurately analyze your soil samples. Z https:Happs.ecology.wa.gov/laboratorysearch/Default.aspx DEPARTMENT or ECOLOGY state of Way.whingtun Should I have the lab analyze for both arsenic and lead? Generally, soil samples are analyzed for both arsenic and lead to get the best understanding of metal pollution of greatest concern for people, especially young children. What instructions should I give the lab? Ask the lab to: Analyze the samples for arsenic and lead by SW 846 Methods 6010D or 6020B. 0 Thoroughly mix each sample before analysis. Screen the samples to remove all soil and debris greater than 2 mm. The soil grain size in the sample should be less than 2 mm, or about a tenth of an inch (for example, very coarse sand and finer). If necessary, screening may add to your cost, but it is important. Report the sample concentrations in units of milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) relative to the dry weight of the soil. Use reporting limits no greater than 5 mg/kg arsenic and 10 mg/kg lead. The samples have to be analyzed so that very low concentrations can be determined accurately. What should I do with the lab results? The state cleanup level is 20 parts per million (ppm) for arsenic and 250 ppm for lead when we clean up wide -spread smelter or pesticide contamination. The lab will most likely report your arsenic and lead levels in mg/kg, which is the same as ppm. If your lab results are above these levels, please take the healthy actions described on page 10 to prevent or reduce contact with soil around your home or property as soon as possible. We encourage you to contact Ecology or your local health department for assistance and to discuss options if your results are above the state cleanup levels.

Ecology or your local health Arsenic and lead in soil does not pose an immediate health risk. However, department or district can help as long-term exposure increases the risk of certain health problems. you plan each sampling step. We want you to succeed in protecting Arsenic can cause a variety of health problems, including heart disease, people from harmful arsenic and diabetes, and cancer of the bladder, lung, skin, kidney, liver, and prostate. lead in soil. In children, lead can cause behavioral problems such as hyperactivity, Ecology contacts and our Dirt permanent learning difficulties, and reduced physical growth. In adults, Alert website are listed on page 1. lead can increase blood pressure, affect memory, and contribute to other health problems. You can be exposed to arsenic and lead in soil by breathing dust or swallowing small amounts of soil and dust. They are not absorbed through the skin. See page 10 for healthy actions you can take to protect yourself and your family. How can I be exposed? Arsenic and lead soil pollution from metal smelter or orchard pesticide sources tends to be found in the upper 3 to 18 inches of soil. Arsenic and lead are not absorbed through the skin. You can be exposed by breathing dust or swallowing small amounts of soil and dust. People at greatest risk are those exposed to soil on a regular basis, such as children, gardeners, construction workers, and landscapers. Publication 06-09-099. ReNoww g. Revised August 2019 Page 9 Healthy Actions x, Protect yourself from arsenic and lead in soil 7i Wash your hands with soap. Publication 06-09-099 After working or playing in the dirt, always wash your hands, especially before eating. Use plenty of soap and water — not hand sanitizer. Hand sanitizers don't remove dirt. Take off your shoes at the door. Use a wipe -off mat to reduce the amount of dirt and dust coming into your home. Provide a shoe rack or area for shoes at your door. Ask guests to remove their shoes, too. Mop and vacuum once a week. Dust with a damp cloth to reduce dust inhalation. Don't sweep with a broom — it can stir up dust. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter or a damp mop. Keep young children out of rooms for an hour after vacuuming to let dust settle. Wash children's toys, bedding, and pacifiers frequently. This applies to indoor and outdoor items. Cover or replace bare patches of soil in your yard to keep toys out of the dirt and reduce human contact. Provide a sand box for children to dig in. Wear shoes and gloves when gardening and working outdoors. Grow your produce in raised beds or pots made with untreated materials. Use a scrub brush to clean dirt from under your fingernails. Dust yourself off outside and wash dirt -covered clothes separately. Wash all fruits and vegetables before eating. Use a scrub brush to wash all fruits and vegetables. Peel root vegetables. Eat a diet rich in iron, calcium, and vitamin C to decrease the amount of lead your body absorbs. Wipe your pets' paws before they enter your home and brush and bathe them regularly. Cover up bare soil so pets don't dig and track dirt into the house. Give pets their own beds.
