Examples of RL in a sentence
The Permittee shall report monitoring results below the reporting limit (RL) of a particular instrument as "<" the value of the RL.
Sample results less than the RL, but greater than or equal to the laboratory’s MDL, shall be reported as “Detected, but Not Quantified,” or DNQ.
For example, if an instrument has a RL of 0.1 mg/L and a parameter is not detected at a value of 0.1 mg/L or greater, the concentration shall be reported as "<0.1 mg/L." "Non-detected," "undetected," "below detection limit," and "zero" are unacceptable reporting results, and are permit reporting violations.
Sample results greater than or equal to the RL shall be reported as measured by the laboratory (i.e., the measured chemical concentration in the sample).
Whenever possible, site specific removal efficiencies shall be determined using actual plant data with analytical detection levels that are sensitive enough to provide values above the reporting level (RL) or practical quantification limit (PQL).
