| Abstract: | The implementation of a strategy for the assessment of the validity of environmental monitoring data – a ”data filter”– is described. The approach was developed through the UK National Marine AQC Scheme for application to data collected during the UK National Marine Monitoring Programme. Data reported for the year 1999, by nine laboratories, for 74 determinand-matrix combinations were assessed on the basis of the completeness of their supporting quality assurance and quality control information. The approach to the establishment of criteria of acceptability for quality information is described. Received: 28 August 2001 Accepted: 29 November 2001 |
