What is ISO 13163 - Lead-210 concentration in water bodies about?
ISO 13163 is one of a series of international documents regarding water quality. This International standard aims to help its users identify lead concentration in water.
ISO 13163 provides a test method that measures the 210Pb activity concentrations in the range of less than 20 mBq⋅l-1 to 50 mBq⋅l-1. These values are achieved with a counting time between 180 min and 720 min for a sample volume from 0,5 l to 1,5 l. Higher 210Pb activity concentrations can be measured by either diluting the sample or using smaller sample aliquots or both.
