Statistical Methods for Environmental Pollution Monitoring.

Abstract: Environmental pollution studies may be divided into the following broad and somewhat overlapping types.1. Monitoring. Data may be collected (a) to monitor or to characterize ambient concentrations in environmental media (air, water, soil, biota) or (b) to monitor concentrations in air and water effluents. The purpose may be to assess the adequacy of controls on the release or containment of pollutants, to detect long-tenn trends, unplanned releases, or accidents and their causes, to provide a spatial or tempo… Show more

“…For the results reported here we used 1000 repetitions of the simulations and a standard deviation of 2.0 for the measurement errors. This value for the standard deviation corresponds to a coefficient of variation of about 7.3 (Gilbert 1987), or 730%, a substantial degree of variation.…”

“…Minimum positive and negative detection limits for each measurement date were determined using the method described by Parkin et al (2012). However, based on past research by Gilbert (1987), all measured flux values in this study were used even if they fell below the minimum detection limit (or within the detection limit band), which is the least biased course of action.…”

“…For n < 10, jSj is compared directly to the theoretical distribution of S derived by Mann and Kendall (Gilbert, 1987). At a certain probability level, H 0 is rejected in favour of H 1 if jSj ½ S˛/ 2 , where S˛/ 2 is the smallest S which has a probability less than˛/2 to appear in the case of no trend.…”
