Quality assurance (QA) has become an increasingly important topic, as environmental monitoring bodies realize that accuracy of measurements can depend very much on how the measurement is taken. This book will describe methods in light of all of the European, US, and international (ISO) guidelines for QA of water analysis.
It is the third book in the Water Quality Measurement Series, it tackles the growing problem of developing an international understanding for measurement and data collection. The author gives a detailed overview of:
* The purpose of water analysis
* Quality systems and quality control
* Sources of error including sample contamination
* Method validation
* Certified reference materials
* Data Reporting
* Inter-laboratory studies

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Water represents one of the basic elements supporting life and the natural environment, a primary component for industry, a consumer item for humans and animals, and a vector for domestic and industrial pollution. Various European Directives already provide a framework for the control of aquatic substances, the quality of bathing, surface and drinking waters, and effluent control. Such regulatory measures are closely related to 'classical' analytical measurements (involving sample collection and laboratory analysis). Other approaches are, however, followed to comply with these regulations on a permanent basis, which are based on the use of automated measuring techniques (e.g. sensors) to obtain suitable warning alarm systems and facilitate the management of water resources and decision-making process (Colin and Quevauviller, 1998), often using telemetry to allow remote control of water management systems.
The analysis of water media reveals the presence of gases, suspended or dissolved mineral and organic matter and micro-organisms. Many water components occur naturally, originating from, e.g. rocks, soils and air, or from human
