FsR - Field Sampling Reference

The Field sampling Reference is a quick reference to environmental test methods,

The Field sampling Reference (FsR) App is a quick reference to environmental test methods, sample containers, preservatives, minimum sample amount & holding times at different phases of testing of solid and liquid samples. The information contained in the FsR App is applicable throughout the United States but also contains information specific to New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Massachusetts. Having this information so easily available and in such a comprehensive way is a dream come true for environmental consultants and environmental testing laboratory personnel such as project managers, sales executives and field samplers who need to refer to this information on a daily basis. The FsR App is accessible anywhere whether at your desk or in the field. The FsR App allows you to search by test name such as 'Metals' or by Method such as EPA 200.8.

The FsR App contains over 290 searchable test names including the most frequently requested tests for Volatile Organics, Semivolatile Organics, Pesticides, PCBs, Herbicides, Metals and Wet Chemistry tests such as Nitrates, BOD, COD, hexavalent chromium and many more. Test Methods include EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) methods, ASTM International (ASTM International, formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and SM (Standard Methods) used for testing waste water, drinking water, groundwater, soil, sludge and waste. Entries are sorted alpha/numerically making it very easy to access the test name and method name or number being searched for.

A glossary is included for easy look up of the meaning of acronyms frequently used in the industry such as 'GC' for Gas Chromatography and TCLP for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure. The glossary also lists the elements that make up frequently requested list of metals such as the RCRA, PP and TAL Lists.

The data in this App is updated regularly in keeping with regulatory updates to test methods and sampling procedures relevant to the environmental testing industry.
