QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES REPORTED IN PUBLICATIONS

As part of the Glassmeyer et al., (2023) review for the journal GeoHealth, the data from 84 journal articles was summarized. One of the metrics captured in the summary was the different types of quality assurance/ quality control parameters mentioned in each paper (see Data Template tab). The types of QA/QC parameters were: field blank, laboratory reagent blank, laboratory fortified blank (LFB- aka laboratory spike), laboratory fortified matrix sample (LFM- aka matrix spike) and duplicate sample. Also logged was if no QA/QC was mentioned, and if it was a review paper that summarized multiple studies (and therefore had no independent QA/QC). This dataset is that QA/QC summary.
