5203 |a"Interlaboratory quality assurance studies (external QA) are effective techniques to monitor the performance of laboratories analyzing environmental constituents. Environment Canada through the National Water Research Institute conducts intercomparison studies on waters, sediments and fish for inorganic and toxic organic constituents. Over 400 laboratories in Canada and the United States are involved in eight different ongoing external QA programs. Most studies include over 50 laboratories that analyze 15 to 30 different constituents in ten different samples"--Abstract, page ii.
