Typical Method Detection Limits
using EPA Methods 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.
