Holland Pace ftagcasYe PA i�6D]' ii <br />,he following defines common symbols and abbreviations used in reporting technical data: <br />N.D. none detected BMQL Below Minimum Quantitation Level <br />TNTC <br />Too Numerous To Count <br />MPN <br />Most Probable Number <br />IU <br />International Units <br />CP Units <br />cobalt -chloroplatinate units <br />umhoslcm <br />micromhoslcm <br />NTU <br />nephelometric turbidity units <br />C <br />degrees Celsius <br />F <br />degrees Fahrenheit <br />meq <br />milliequivalents <br />Ib. <br />pound(s) <br />g <br />gram(s) <br />kg <br />kilogram(s) <br />ug <br />microgram(s) <br />mg <br />milligram(s) <br />ml <br />milliliter(s) <br />I <br />liters) <br />m3 <br />cubic meter(s) <br />ul <br />microliter(s) <br />< less than - The number following the sign is the limit of quantitation, the smallest amount of analyte which can be <br />reliably determined using this specific test. <br />> greater than <br />J estimated value — The result falls within the Method Detection Limit (MDL) and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ). <br />ppm parts per million -- One ppm is equivalent to one milligram per kilogram (mg/kg), or one gram per million grams. For <br />aqueous liquids, ppm is usually taken to be equivalent to milligrams per liter (mg/1), because one liter of water has a <br />weight very close to a kilogram. For gases or vapors, one ppm is equivalent to one microliter of gas per liter of gas. <br />ppb parts per billion <br />Dry weight Results printed under this heading have been adjusted for moisture content. This increases the analyte weight <br />basis concentration to approximate the value present in a similar sample without moisture. All other results are reported <br />on an as -received basis. <br />U.S. EPA CLP Date Qualifiers: <br />Organic Qualifiers <br />Inorganic Qualifiers <br />A <br />TIC is a possible aldol -condensation product <br />B <br />Value is <CRDL, but _>IDL <br />B <br />Analyte was also detected in the blank <br />E <br />Estimated due to interference <br />C <br />Pesticide result confirmed by GC/MS <br />M <br />Duplicate injection precision not met <br />D <br />Compound quantitated on a diluted sample <br />N <br />Spike sample not within control limits <br />E <br />Concentration exceeds the calibration range of <br />S <br />Method of standard additions (MSA) used <br />the instrument <br />for calculation <br />N <br />Presumptive evidence of a compound (TICs only) <br />U <br />Compound was not detected <br />P <br />Concentration difference between primary and <br />W <br />Post digestion spike out of control limits <br />confirmation columns X25% <br />Duplicate analysis not within control limits <br />U <br />Compound was not detected <br />+ <br />Correlation coefficient for MSA <0.995 <br />X,Y,Z <br />Defined in case narrative <br />Anslytical'fest results for methods listed on the laboratories' accreditation scope meet all requirements of NELAC unless <br />otherwise noted under the individual analysis. <br />Measurement uncertainty values, as applicable, are available upon request. <br />Tests results relate only to the sample tested. Clients should be aware that a critical step in a chemical or microbiological <br />analysis is the collection of the sample. Unless the sample analyzed is truly representative of the bulk of material involved, the <br />test results will be meaningless. If you have questions regarding the proper techniques of collecting samples, please contact <br />us. We cannot be held responsible for sample integrity, however, unless sampling has been performed by a member of our <br />staff.
