Some of the compounds analysed were below method detection limits or reporting limits. In some cases this was due to very small sample quantities, making detection difficult due to insufficient material. This document details the analytical methods used to determine a range of chemical and physical properties of the wastewater effluent from Davis Station and of marine sediments collected from shallow waters (5 to 25 m) around the Vestfold Hills and Davis Station. This was done as part of a study examining the environmental impacts of the Davis Station wastewater outfall in early 2010. See Davis_STP metadata record for further information on the project.
