Rhodes, R. AND E. Evans. PRECISION AND ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS FOR STATE AND LOCAL AIR MONITORING NETWORKS, 1985. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/4-87/003 (NTIS PB87145447), 1987.
Description:
Precision and accuracy data obtained from State and local agencies during 1985 are summarized and evaluated. Some comparisons are made with the results reported for prior years to determine any trends. Some trends indicated continued improvement in the completeness of reporting of precision and accuracy data. The national summaries indicate a further improvement in the precision and accuracy assessments of the pollutant monitoring data collected. The annual results from each reporting organization are given so that comparisons may be made from year to year and also with other reporting organizations.A comparison of the precision and accuracy data from the Precision and Accuracy Reporting System with those from the independent performance audit program conducted by the Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory is given.
