Guide for physicochemical and toxicological characterization of sediments / Ministère du développement durable, de l’environnement et de la lutte contre les changements climatiques and Environment and...: En84-141/2016E-PDF

“The purpose of this guide is to standardize existing sediment characterization methods, specifically by integrating performance criteria that must be met by analyses as well as acceptance criteria for analysis results. 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.
