Analyst's Comments
Only plastic containers were supplied for the sample 1937589/1. Please note that glass containers should be used for
TPH/PAH/VOC/BTEX analysis to avoid loss of volatile's and possible plastic contamination.
Summary of Methods
The following table(s) gives a brief description of the methods used to conduct the analyses for this job. The detection limits given below are those attainable in a relatively clean matrix.
Detection limits may be higher for individual samples should insufficient sample be available, or if the matrix requires that dilutions be performed during analysis.

These samples were collected by yourselves (or your agent) and analysed as received at the laboratory.
Samples are held at the laboratory after reporting for a length of time depending on the preservation used and the stability of
the analytes being tested. Once the storage period is completed the samples are discarded unless otherwise advised by the
client.
