Parameter List for Inorganics Table 

The INORGANICS TABLE contains information about the sample, analytical methods, and measured values for major elements, trace metals, and other inorganic parameters.  The fields are organized by subcategory. Detailed definitions of parameters are provided in the data dictionary. All elements have columns for qualifier and detection limit values associated with the concentration field that are not listed here. Some elements also have fields for original values in original units (and original units) if they were not reported in µg/g.
