Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A water sample yields a TSS reading of 0.3 mg/L, but the detection limit of your instrument is 0.5 mg/L. Discuss the implications of this discrepancy.
💡 Hint: Think about what it means to measure below detection limits.
You take repeated measurements of the same water sample and receive varied results due to fluctuations. Propose a methodology to enhance measurement reliability.
💡 Hint: Think about what features make instruments suitable for consistent measurements.
