Lancaster ries Explanation of Symbols and Abbreviations <br />2425 New HvUand Pike * Lancaster, PR 17601 <br />ca <br />The following dunes common symbols and abbreviations used in reporting technical data: <br />N.D. <br />none detected BMQL <br />Below Minimum Quantitation Level <br />i i <br />TNTC <br />Too Numerous To Count MPN <br />Most Probable Number <br />IU <br />International Units CP Units <br />cobalt -chloroplatinate units <br />umhoslcm <br />micromhos/cm NTU <br />nephelometric turbidity units <br />C <br />degrees Celsius F <br />degrees Fahrenheit <br />meq <br />milliequivalents Ib. <br />pound(s) <br />g <br />gram(s) kg <br />kilogram(s) <br />ug <br />microgram(s) mg <br />milligram(s) <br />ml <br />milliliter(s) I <br />Iiter(s) . <br />m3 <br />< <br />cubic meter(s) ul <br />less than - The number following the sign is the limit of quantitation, <br />microliter(s) <br />the smallest amount of analyte which can be <br />- <br />reliably determined using this specific test. <br />> <br />greater than <br />J <br />estimated value — The result falls within the Method Detection Limit (MDL) and Limit of Quantitation (LOQ). <br />ppm <br />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 <br />parts per billion <br />! Dry weight <br />Results printed under this heading have been adjusted for moisture content. This increases the analyte weight <br />basis <br />concentration to approximate.the value present in a similar <br />sample without moisture. All other results are reported <br />n <br />on an as -received basis. <br />I <br />G--.
