Typical Method Detection Limits using EPA Method 8081A for Soils and Waters.

Detection limits are generally determined by the complexity of the matrix. Values listed here are in parts per million (soils) and µg/L (waters). Compounds marked with * are not found in the EPA methods, but are detectable by EPA methodologies.
