Users, laboratories, and equipment manufacturers prefer low ones. Industries under environmental regulation insist on honest ones. However, the detection limits of environmental regulations generally refer to relatively complex detection experiments (assays) or surveys that differ from the simple measurement operation that gave rise to the detection limit concept in analytical chemistry. The first contribution of this article is to clarify the limited scope of the simple definition and then define the population quantity that is being estimated. Such specificity allows alternative estimates to be evaluated more on statistical grounds of bias and variance rather than on whether they push the resulting value up or down. The fundamental statistical problem is to fit a variance function so that the derived relative standard deviation (RSD) function of concentration is smooth and monotone decreasing and thus can be inverted. The solution is to accept the best-fitting analytical version of the RSD function (log-log and hybrid models are described), fit it, invert it to get the point estimate, and provide a jackknife standard error.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL BIOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL STATISTICS}, author={Proctor, Charles H.}, year={2008}, month={Mar}, pages={99–120} } @inbook{robarge_boos_proctor_2004, title={Determination of trace metal content of fertilizer source materials produced in north America}, volume={872}, DOI={10.1021/bk-2004-0872.ch006}, abstractNote={There is increasing concern over the trace metal content of fertilizers and their subsequent application to agricultural and urban lands. It is feared that continued addition of trace metals to soils via fertilizers poses potential risks to farm families and to consumers of farm products. In order to assess this potential risk, it is necessary to know the trace metal content of fertilizer source materials. This study was undertaken to generate a statistically valid sampling of fertilizer source material produced in North America, and to determine the trace metal content (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, V, U and Zn) of the resulting composite samples generated by the sampling protocol using modern analytical instrumentation and accepted good laboratory practices. The results support the general hypothesis that phosphate bearing source materials do contain varying levels of trace metals. The results also demonstrate that non-phosphate bearing N-P-K source materials do not contain significant amounts of trace metals and should not be considered significant sources of metals when added to agricultural or urban soils. Agreement of analyses from an interlaboratory comparison demonstrate the suitability of the analytical protocols used in this study.}, number={2004}, booktitle={Environmental impact of fertilizer on soil and water}, publisher={Washington, D.C.: Transportation Research Board}, author={Robarge, W.
