The interlaboratory studies involved sending samples to be analyzed for dioxin and furan congeners, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, resin acids, metals, and chlorinated phenols. Laboratories were evaluated on closeness to mean and expected concentrations, surrogate recoveries, detection limits, sample handling, dedicated facilities, subcontracted work, high- versus low-resolution mass spectrography results, additional quality assurance/control effort, non-detect data that was detected by other laboratories, flexibility, and treatment of outliers. Appendices include analytical and sampling protocols, plus terms of reference for analytical services.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Northern River Basins Study Project Report No. 141</style></notes><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biology</style></custom1><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/613072494</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OSEMB</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
