Dredging quality control study no. 5 (DQC-5) : the analysis of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, PCBs, and toxic trace metals in sediment reference materials in direct-injection solutions / Yvonne D....: En13-5/91-107E-PDF

"This report describes interlaboratory study DQC-5, the fifth in a series of intercomparison studies conducted by the Quality Assurance group at the National Water Research Institute on various organic and in organic parameters pertinent to dredging activities. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the analytical capability and performance of contract and government laboratories on their analyses of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and toxic trace metals in naturally contaminated reference sediments and direct-injection solutions. The analytical data submitted by nineteen Canadian laboratories for study DQC-5 were evaluated by various statistical treatments to identify outlying results and to assess laboratory performance with respect to precision, accuracy and bias"--Abstract.
