Summary

This dataset provides the expected and determined concentrations of selected inorganic and organic analytes for spiked reagent-water samples (calibration standards and limit of quantitation standards) that were used to calculate detection limits by using the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA) Method Detection Limit (MDL) version 1.11 or 2.0 procedures, ASTM International’s Within-Laboratory Critical Level standard procedure D7783-13, and, for five pharmaceutical compounds, by USEPA’s Lowest Concentration Minimum Reporting Level procedure. Also provided are determined concentration data for reagent-water laboratory blank samples, classified as either instrument blank or set blank samples, and reagent-water blind-blank [...]

Purpose

To provide the concentration data from spiked reagent-water samples (standards) and blank reagent-water samples for some analytes determined by selected National Water Quality Laboratory methods that were used to calculate and compare detection limits obtained using spike-based or blank-based procedures for estimating detection limits.
