DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF AN ALTERNATE ANALYTICAL AND SAMPLING PERSPECTIVE TO GREAT LAKES MASS BALANCE STUDIES - PROGRESS REPORT
Abstract
Environmental studies which include the analysis of low level anthropogenics are often limited by
the analytical limits of detection {LOO) of the methodology employed. Large data bases for the
Great Lakes have been accumulated over the recent past however many of the analytes (i.e. PCBs,
chlorinated pesticides) have been reported as less than LOO or not detected in open lake water
samples or where large sample sizes were not practicable. Data reported as such contribute little
to study conclusions or model application.
