A Methodology for Assessing Sample Representativeness

Abstract Assessing sample representativeness is a critical component of any environmental investigation and should be performed before any conclusions are reached. If the samples are not representative, any conclusions or decisions will be incorrect. A complete understanding of the data quality objective process, sample plan design, sample plan implementation, and quality control is required to assess sample representativeness. This article presents a methodology for the evaluation of sample representativeness.
