Detection Limits in Air Quality and Environmental Measurements

Editor(s): Michael J. Brisson

Get the latest research on detection limits as applied to various fields of environmental measurements.

With a focus on advancing the science of detection capability and understanding its concepts, this publication is a key resource for practitioners and policymakers. The 15 peer-reviewed papers are grouped into four subject areas:

– overview and standards development activities
– policy issues and mathematical basis
– applications and recent developments
– censored data

This publication is dedicated to Dr. Harry L. Rook, a longtime ASTM member and past chair of ASTM International Committee D22 on Air Quality.
