Location of samples

Audits of each phase of the study should include personnel training, preparation of collection forms, application calibration, each sample collection procedure, sample transport, each type of chemical analysis, data recording, data entry, data verification and data storage. Data collection in the field is often tedious if automated logging devices are not in place. To ensure data integrity, the paper and ink used for field studies should be waterproof. Each data collection form should contain appropriate locations for information detailing the time and location of sample collection, sample transport and sample analysis. Data collection forms should be stored in an orderly fashion in a secure location immediately upon return of field teams from the field at the end of each day. It is also important for data quality for studies to collect necessary field data seven days per week when required. In our experience, poor study quality is likely when field sample and data collection do not proceed on weekends.

Millions of soil samples per year are analyzed for nonpoint source analytes such as potassium, phosphorous, insecticides, and herbicides. It is necessary to obtain an idea of the level of these components throughout the field and to take corrective action as necessary. Thus, a more random sampling methodology is called for. Figure 7.2 shows a field that includes both different soil types (letters) and topographical features (e.g., a ditch) that are to be sampled. Also, a transect line and locations of sample sites along it are indicated. Transect lines and sampling sites are discussed later. 

Spatial trends in LAS concentrations in marine and estuarine environments show clear relationships with the location of sampling points relative to point sources of wastewater discharges and a rapid rate of decrease is observed as one moves downstream from these. LAS tend to be degraded relatively rapidly in summer, whereas in winter a higher recalcitrance is observed. Sediments constitute the final sink of LAS that have not been degraded. 

Univariate Data - Multivariate Data. If one deals only with one variable under study, e.g., the concentration of a particular chemical in the water of a river, this is a univariate problem. It is univariate even when the variable under study depends on several other variables such as temperature and location of sampling.

Macro visual examination is done with the unaided eye or low power (up to 2 OX) magnification. An item may need to be cleaned prior to examination. Fracture origins and location of samples to be removed for further analysis are determined by macro visual examination. Nondestructive evaluation methods may be necessary for more accurate determinations (see Step 4).

An oscilloscope and a camera were used to record the output voltage of die crystal detector. The oscilloscope was triggered from the ionization switch probe by the detonation and a dielectric rod waveguide (such as described in Ref 18a) was used as a transmission line between the instrumentation and the sample. The dielectric rod waveguide was expandable and acted as a mode selector to launch a pure mode of transmission in the sample. The location of sample, detonator and ionization switch are shown in Fig 30. The standard rectangular waveguide from the instrumentation shown in Fig 29 was converted to circular waveguide by a transition. A polystyrene rod... 

Sampling strategy is the first step in the analysis process, in which the analyst must make a number of decisions about location of sampling points, method of sampling, and the number and size of the samples. Concerning the former and, according to...

On the left in the picture is the interior wall, erected during the conversion to a hot air disinfestation chamber. Sample 10, with a slightly positive cyanide content, was taken from this wall.

In 40 CRF Section 761 Subpart O, the TSCA specifically addresses the requirements for verification of self-implementing cleanup by defining the numbers and locations of samples to be collected from bulk PCB remediation waste and porous surfaces. Section 761 Subpart P specifies the requirements for non-porous surfaces cleanup verification. These regulation-prescribed sampling designs are discussed in detail in Chapter 3.5.2.
