The American Petroleum Institute (

The most frequently used terms are detection limit/level, methoddetection limit (MDL), and p

    15、ractical quantitation level (PQL). Minimum level(ML) is used by Alabama, California, Illinois, and Ohio. The states vary in the extent to which detection and quantification terms areincorporated into their regulatory language. Some states prefer to have themost detailed policies in their water quali

The states will set wastewater permit limits at or below detection orquantification levels, where considered protective of water quality. Moststates specify, either in their regulations or implementation

    17、procedures, howcompliance is demonstrated in such cases. Compliance with a maximumconcentration limit is demonstrated by a less-than analytical result (adetection or quantification limit, as applicable). Where a mass load or averageconcentration is calculated, most states specify that zero be used i

Although the states have procedures for allowing wastewater permittees todevelop site-specific detection or quantification limits based on state- or EPA-defined methods, none of the states had specific procedur

Permittees can ensure that they obtain permit limits that do not causecompliance monitoring problems related to detecti

During the permitting process, permittees should pay particularattention to effluent data in the application, the need for site-specific detectionand quantification limits or procedures, and permit requirements specifyinghow compliance is to be demonstrated.2Introduction

    21、The purpose of this review was to determine the analytical detection andquantification limit policies of various state agencies. Of particular interest were policiesfor setting wastewater discharge permit limits at or below detection or quantificationlimits, for determining compliance with such limi

    22、ts, and for using alternative approachesto determining detection or quantification limits. Although the main focus of this reviewwas on state policies involving water quality issues, included in the review were thepolicies of programs in other environmental areas as well as in federal regulations an

    23、dstatutes.Ten states were selected for review: Alabama, California, Illinois, Louisiana, NewJersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. State environmentalregulations and water quality implementation procedures were reviewed, and stateenvironmental staff were contacted and interview

    24、ed, to obtain information on detectionand quantification limit policies.Overview of ReportPresented first is an overview of approaches for analytical detection andquantification limits in environmental programs. The overview describes variousdetection and quantification terms, including method detec

    25、tion limit (MDL), minimumlevel (ML), practical quantitation (or quantification) level (PQL), alternative minimumlevel (AML), interlaboratory quantification estimate (IQE), and others. Next, the policiesof the ten selected states are presented. Lastly, recommendations are provided for settingeffluent

    26、 limits and compliance monitoring requirements in wastewater discharge permits.Overview of ApproachesThis section provides an overview of selected approaches for determining analyticaldetection and quantification levels used in environmental programs. Table 1 lists theterms most often used in these

    27、programs, as well as two alternatives (AML, IQE) thathave been suggested by others. In the following sections, these terms, as they are used inwastewater programs, are discussed in detail, and their similarities and differences arecompared. Terms used in other environmental programs, both state and

    28、federal, areidentified.Water and Wastewater ProgramsThe most common detection and quantification limits in water and wastewaterprograms are the MDL, ML, and PQL. The MDL can be used to calculate both the MLand the PQL. Variations of these and other related terms can be found in water andwastewater p

    29、rograms. Definitions of these terms as given in the regulations are provided3Table 1Detection and Quantification TermsDetection TermsDL Detection limitLOD Limit of detectionMDL Method detection limitQuantification TermsAML Alternative minimum levelIQE Interlaboratory quantification estimateLOQ Limit

These basic definitions are discussed in the following sections.Detection LevelsThe USEPA has a specific d

    31、efinition of the MDL in its regulations. Among thevarious state and federal programs, there may be modifications to this definition orreferences to other detection terms (some defined and some not).Method Detection Limit (MDL)The MDL is a detection term defined by the USEPA as:the minimum concentrat

    32、ion of a substance that can be measured and reportedwith 99% confidence that the analyte concentration is greater than zero and isdetermined from analysis of a sample in a given matrix containing the analyte.40 CFR 136, Appendix BThe typical MDL procedure is to analyze seven aliquots of a sample at

    33、a lowconcentration, 1 to 5 times the estimated MDL. The MDL can be measured in reagentwater (water with no impurities) or in any wastewater matrix (matrix-specific MDL). Ifthe sample does not already contain the analyte in this concentration range, it is spikedwith the analyte. The standard deviatio

    34、n of the seven analytical values is calculated.

    38、 a specifiedlaboratory procedure calibrated at a specifiedconcentration above the method detectionlevel.

If no such ML exists, or ifthe method is not specified or approved under40 CFR 136, the quantification level shall bethe lowest quantifiable level practicable.40 CFR 132,Appendix

    40、FMDL is calculated as the standard deviation multiplied by the Students t value for the99th percentile (3.143 for seven analyses).Limit of Detection (LOD)The LOD is defined by the American Chemical Society (ACS) as:5the lowest concentration level that can be determined to be statisticallydifferent f

    41、rom a blank.ACS 1983, pg. 2216The LOD is calculated as three times the standard deviation, s, at either zero (blank) orthe lowest level of measurement. It differs from the USEPAs MDL in the multiplyingfactor 3 versus 3.143 (or other Students t value) and in not having a recommendednumber of replicat

    42、e analyses. Use of s, the population standard deviation, implies aninfinite number of analyses, or at least a very large number. In practice, the samplestandard deviation, s, would be used as a substitute for s.Other Detection TermsOther detection terms used in state programs are discussed in the se

    43、ction on StatePolicies. Those found in federal regulations are listed in Table 2.Quantification LevelsThe USEPAs approaches to the ML and PQL are described in the followingsections. Although the term LOQ is not used per se in these programs, a description ofthe term is also provided because of its r

    44、elation to the ML. The AML and IQE, whichhave been promoted to the USEPA as improved quantification levels, are also described.Following these descriptions is a summary of other quantification terms used in waterand wastewater programs.Minimum LevelThe ML is a quantification term defined by the USEP

    45、A as:The concentration at which the entire analytical system must give a recognizablesignal and acceptable calibration point. The ML is the concentration in a samplethat is equivalent to the concentration of the lowest calibration standard analyzedby a specific analytical procedure, assuming that al

    46、l of the method-specifiedsample weights, volumes, and processing steps have been followed.1The ML concept and how it is calculated have evolved over time. Currently, MLsare usually either calculated as 3.18 times the MDL, or set equal to the lowest calibrationstandard. The factor of 3.18 is derived

    47、from another quantification term, the LOQ (seedescription later in this section).1 National Guidance for the Permitting, Monitoring, and Enforcement of Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations Set Below Analytical Detection/Quantitation Levels, Draft,U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington,

    48、 DC, March 22, 1994.6Interim Minimum LevelInterim minimum level (IML) is a term created by the USEPA to describe MLsthat are based on 3.18 times the MDL, to distinguish them from MLs that have beenpromulgated.Practical Quantitation LevelThe PQL is a quantitation term originally developed by the USEP

    49、A for itsdrinking water program. The USEPA defined the PQL as:The lowest level that can be reliably achieved within specified limits of precisionand accuracy during routine laboratory operating conditions50 FR 46906The PQL is intended to account for interlaboratory variability and matrix effects onquantitation. PQLs may be based on USEPA laboratory performance evaluation (PE)studies, choosing a level at which a majority of the laboratories can obtain results withina given rangefor example, 80% of the laboratories fall within 40% of the true value.In prac
