f 1Lancaster Laboratories . 2425 New Holland Pike.Lancaster,PA 17601 Explanation of Symbols and Abbreviations The following defines common symbols and abbreviations used in reporting technical data: N.D. none detected BMQL Below Minimum Quantitation Level TNTC Too Numerous To Count MPN Most Probable Number IU International Units CP Units cobalt-chloroplatinate units umhos/cm micromhos/cm NTU nephelometric turbidity units C degrees Celsius F degrees Fahrenheit meq milliequivalents Ib. pound(s) g gram(s) kg kilogram(s) ug microgram(s) mg milligram(s) ml milliliter(s) I liter(s) m3 cubic meter(s) ul microliter(s) < less than-The number following the sign is the limit of quantitation,the smallest amount of analyte which can be reliably determined using this specific test. > greater than J estimated value—The result falls within the Method Detection Limit(MDL)and Limit of Quantitation(LOQ). ppm parts per million-One ppm is equivalent to one milligram per kilogram (mg/kg),or one gram per million grams. For aqueous liquids, ppm is usually taken to be equivalent to milligrams per liter(mg/I), because one liter of water has a weight very close to a kilogram. For gases or vapors, one ppm is equivalent to one microliter of gas per liter of gas. ppb parts per billion Dry weight Results printed under this heading have been adjusted for moisture content. This increases the analyte weight basis concentration to approximate the value present in a similar sample without moisture. All other results are reported on an as-received basis. U.S. EPA CLP Data Qualifiers: Organic Qualifiers Inorganic Qualifiers A TIC is a possible aldol-condensation product B Value is <CRDL, but>_IDL B Analyte was also detected in the blank E Estimated due to interference C Pesticide result confirmed by GC/MS M Duplicate injection precision not met D Compound quantitated on a diluted sample N Spike sample not within control limits E Concentration exceeds the calibration range of S Method of standard additions(MSA)used the instrument for calculation N Presumptive evidence of a compound (TICS only) U Compound was not detected P Concentration difference between primary and W Post digestion spike out of control limits confirmation columns>25% Duplicate analysis not within control limits U Compound was not detected + Correlation coefficient for MSA<0.995 X,Y,Z Defined in case narrative Analytical test results for methods listed on the laboratories' accreditation scope meet all requirements of NELAC unless otherwise noted under the individual analysis. Measurement uncertainty values, as applicable, are available upon request. Tests results relate only to the sample tested. Clients should be aware that a critical step in a chemical or microbiological analysis is the collection of the sample. Unless the sample analyzed is truly representative of the bulk of material involved,the test results will be meaningless. If you have questions regarding the proper techniques of collecting samples, please contact us. We cannot be held responsible for sample integrity, however, unless sampling has been performed by a member of our staff.
