Guidance for Data Quality Assessment: Practical Methods for Data Analysis EPA QA/G-9: QA96 Version.

摘要

This first edition is intended to cover most of the core topics of DQA for regulatory compliance decisions that involve spatially distributed contamination. Most of the tools will also be applicable to sampling data from hazardous waste sites or facilities under Superfund or RCRA. Many of the tools are generally applicable and useful for other types of problems as well. Future editions of this guidance will address more thoroughly the problems and issues associated with analyzing sampling data from more dynamic processes, such as effluent discharged to waterways and emissions dispersed in ambient air. Future editions will also address other topics, such as analyzing results from designed experiments and other research studies, as well as environmental enforcement investigations.
