Sampling - Field Sampling: Principles and Practices in Environmental Analysis - page 141

5. What is unusual about samples that are taken deep in water or soil that is saturated
with water? What precautions need to be taken with these samples?
6. There are three common types of samplers. Name the sampler types and describe the
situations to which they are best suited.
7. Explain how and why Greek letters might be used in labeling a sample.
8. The spectral range for satellite imagery is over what range of the electromagnetic
spectrum?
9. Explain which sample container would be used for a soil sample containing a heavy
metal contaminant and one containing a volatile organic carbon (VOC) contaminant.
Explain the bases of your choices.
10. Explain grid sampling.
