The detection limits given below are those attainable in a relatively simple 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. A detection limit range indicates the lowest and highest detection limits in the associated suite of analytes. A full listing of compounds and detection limits are available from the laboratory upon request. Unless otherwise indicated, analyses were performed at Hill Laboratories, 28 Duke Street, Frankton, Hamilton 3204. Summary of Methods Sample Type: Aqueous Test Method Description Default Detection Limit Sample No 1-3 Heavy metals, dissolved, trace As,Cd,Cr,Cu,Ni,Pb,Zn 0.45µm Filtration, ICP-MS, trace level. APHA 3125 B 23 rd ed. 2017. 0.00005 - 0.0010 g/m3 1-3 Filtration, Unpreserved Sample filtration through 0.45µm membrane filter. - 1-3 pH pH meter. APHA 4500-H+ B 23rd ed. 2017. Note: It is not possible to achieve the APHA Maximum Storage Recommendation for this test (15 min) when samples are analysed upon receipt at the laboratory, and not in the field. Samples and Standards are analysed at an equivalent laboratory temperature (typically 18 to 22 °C). Temperature compensation is used. 0.1 pH Units 1-3 Acidity (pH 3.7) Titration to pH 3.7 with standard sodium hydroxide solution, bromophenol blue indicator. APHA 2310 B 23rd ed. 2017. 1.0 g/m3 as CaCO3 1-3 Total Alkalinity Titration to pH 4.5 (M-alkalinity), autotitrator. APHA 2320 B (modified for Alkalinity <20) 23rd ed. 2017. 1.0 g/m3 as CaCO3 1-3 Electrical Conductivity (EC) Conductivity meter, 25°C. APHA 2510 B 23rd ed. 2017. 0.1 mS/m 1-3 Dissolved Mercury 0.45µm filtration, bromine oxidation followed by atomic fluorescence. US EPA Method 245.7, Feb 2005. 0.00008 g/m3 1-3 Sulphate Filtered sample. Ion Chromatography. APHA 4110 B (modified) 23rd ed. 2017. 0.5 g/m3
