Quality control begins with sample collection and ends with the reporting of data. [4] AQC is achieved through laboratory control of analytical performance. Initial control of the complete system can be achieved through specification of laboratory services, instrumentation, glassware, reagents, solvents, and gases.
An environmental audit of the site in 2003 found PCBs in the sediment surrounding the area, and further testing was ordered. In December 2008, EPA inspectors found about four dozen rusted metal drums on land just outside the part of the dump that it capped and fenced in the 1980s, including a portion of Jefferson Memorial Forest .
Water chemistry analysis is often the groundwork of studies of water quality, pollution, hydrology and geothermal waters. Analytical methods routinely used can detect and measure all the natural elements and their inorganic compounds and a very wide range of organic chemical species using methods such as gas chromatography and mass spectrometry .

A model of a late 19th-century Canadian seal used to certify the quality of assayed gold. A metallurgical assay is a compositional analysis of an ore, metal, or alloy, usually performed in order to test for purity or quality. Some assay methods are suitable for raw materials; others are more appropriate for finished goods.
Dissolved oxygen (D.O.) is widely used in water quality studies and routine operation of water reclamation facilities to analyze its level of oxygen saturation. In the test, an excess of manganese(II) salt, iodide (I − ) and hydroxide (OH − ) ions are added to a water sample causing a white precipitate of Mn(OH) 2 to form.
