Water and Wastewater Laboratory Analysis Methods
About this course

Overview

A result is only defensible if the sample and the method behind it were sound. This covers sampling design, the analytical chemistry behind the parameters a regulator asks about, quality control inside the laboratory, and reporting in a form that holds up under scrutiny.
