aSources: Accepted sulfur concentrations for standards 771, 772, 774, 775, 780, and 782 are from Alpha Resources, Inc. (1985). Accepted sulfur concentrations for NBS standards 1632a, 1635, and 2683 are from NBS (1984).
b Sulfur concentrations measured in U.S. Geological Survey laboratories. Values shown for each coal standard are the arithmetic mean and standard deviation for n measurements, where n is the number in parentheses
