Description: 

Quality flag for dissolved iron concentration from bottle samples, as follows:
1 = good.
2 = good; average of at least two determinations on different days.
3 = good; analyzed without preconcentration and concentration presented to one decimal place.
4 = possibly contaminated; determination anomalously high and/or significantly higher than other analysts in intercalibration.
