TM13-01 Procedure used to correct axial-view lithium results determined by inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry

A procedure to correct axial-view lithium concentrations derived from inductively coupled plasma – optical emission spectrometry for bias associated with ionization interference has been validated and applied to affected data from 1 March 2012 through 31 October 2013 to correct results determined by the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory.
