E <br />a <br />greater than <br />Method of standard additions (MSA) used <br />J <br />estimated value — The result is >_ the Method Detection Limit (MDL) and < the 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 Data Qualifiers: <br />Organic Qualifiers <br />inorganic Qualifiers <br />A <br />TIC is a possible aldol -condensation product <br />B <br />Value is eCRDL, 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 GClMS <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 />FI <br />!

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.
