Evaluation of Passive Samplers for Long-Term Monitoring of Organic Compounds in the Untreated Drinking Water Supply for the City of Eugene, Oregon, September–October 2007

Appendix A. Results from Analyses of Field- and Fabrication-Blank Passive Samplers

Table A1. Concentrations of selected pesticides measured by field-blank polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) at three sites in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon, September–October 2007.

[1 and 2 are replicate field banks. MDL, method detection limit; MQL, method quantitation limit; “<,” compound not present at MDL; NQ, not quantified--compound detected at a level less than the MQL. Compounds in bold type were detected in deployed samplers]
