It contains references to recognized, validated analytical methods. More generally, it is designed to minimize variability attributable to laboratory sources, from the receipt of samples to the issuance of certificates of analysis. It is designed to be used in the characterization of freshwater and marine sediments and is intended for managers of characterization projects, environmental consulting firms and laboratories that perform sediment analyses"--Abstract, p. iv.
