Abstract
A large part of marine pollution studies is about collecting, analysing, and interpreting the concentrations of contaminants in the environment. This involves field and laboratory work to collect and analyse the samples. Some analyses are completed directly in the field (i.e., in situ). From the process of collection through to the final analyses, there are many quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC)Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) steps that are required, which, when used properly, ensure sample integrity and the reliability of results, therefore, resulting in meaningful interpretations and conclusions.
