Minimum detectable concentration (MDC)§ | 40 | |
Minimum quantifiable concentration (MQC)¶ | 140 |
Sampling times ranged from 343 minutes to 501 minutes.
Values in brackets were between the MDC and MQC. More uncertainty is associated with these values.
ND = none detected, below the MDC of 40 ng/m3.
The MDC was calculated by dividing the analytical limit of detection of 50 ng per sample by an average air sample volume of 1.25 m3.
The MQC was calculated by dividing the analytical limit of quantification of 170 ng per sample by an average air sample volume of 1.25 m3.
