• For more accurate results, determine a reagent blank value for each new lot of reagent. Follow the procedure using deionized
water in place of the sample. Subtract the reagent blank value from the final results or perform a reagent blank adjust. See
Section 2.6.2 Reagent Blank on page 20.
• Place a safety shield in front of the COD reactor to prevent injury if splattering occurs.
• Clean glassware with 1:1 Hydrochloric Acid Standard Solution. Rinse with deionized water. Do not use detergents that contain
phosphate to clean glassware.
• Final samples will contain molybdenum. In addition, final samples will have a pH less than 2 and are considered corrosive (D002)
by the Federal RCRA. Please see Waste Management and Safety on page 55 for more information on proper disposal of these
materials.
