Environmental Technology Verification Program Advanced Monitoring Systems Center: Test/QA Plan for Verification of Rapid Toxicology Technologies

摘要

This test/quality assurance (QA) plan provides procedures for a verification test of rapid analysis technologies that measure toxicity in drinking water. The verification test will be conducted under the auspices of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program. The purpose of ETV is to provide objective and quality assured performance data on environmental technologies, so that users, developers, regulators, and consultants can make informed decisions about purchasing and applying these technologies. The objective of this verification test of rapid toxicity technologies is to evaluate their ability to detect certain toxins that are particularly toxic to humans and their susceptibility to interfering chemicals in a controlled experimental matrix.
