NCCOS Releases Improved National Status and Trends Analytical Methods
The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science recently completed the last part of a four volume set of method document updates for trace element and organic contaminant quantification methods, ancillary measures, and pathology techniques (http://www2.coastalscience.noaa.gov/publications/ccma/detail.aspx?key=2524). NCCOS has been a leader in defining performance driven analytical quality assurance methods that other laboratories use as a guide to develop their own programs. The environmental community has extensively used both the methods and the analytes selected.
