A field blank is a sample of analytefree water (in this case, Nanopure® Hgfree water
prepared at the Central Laboratory and included in the Trace Level Hg Sampling Kits)
transferred, at the sampling site, into an appropriate container for the purpose of
distinguishing ambient contamination (attributed to sample collection and transport
activities) from actual sample contribution. The field blank would then be submitted for
analysis as any other sample (i.e., it must be included on a separate fieldsheet and on the
chainofcustody [COC] form when COC protocol is followed).
