NEMI is an expanding and evolving database and is, therefore, not a complete source for all environmental methods. NEMI is designed to allow rapid comparison of the qualities, capabilities, and relative costs of various methods within the limitations of information provided by the method source. Method information is submitted by the public and private sources that publish them, and is reviewed prior to inclusion in the NEMI database. The Methods and Data Comparability Board does not develop methods, endorse methods, or provide technical support for the use of methods. Users should exercise caution when comparing performance data as these may have been generated under a variety of circumstances. Additional questions should be directed to the method source.
Before using any of these methods, review your site/project/application-specific and/or programmatic or regulatory requirements. The information in NEMI is derived from application-specific plans and objectives.
NEMI provides information abstracted from full analytical methods for the purpose of comparing them for your analytical needs. Some of these methods use chemical reagents that may pose safety concerns when used improperly or without proper safety equipment. You are cautioned to read the prospective full method's text, with special attention paid to any section(s) on safety and disposal information, before using it.
