The
following table contains results from
analyzing bottled waters.
These are from students taking a class dealing stable isotopes, as well
as test runs
done here. If you'd like to post results here
too,
please contact me. A spreadsheet containing this data can be
found here
or downloaded from:ESCSIS-bw.xls.
Do
all the numbers make
sense?
Do
they track the local
precipitation? (check out www.waterisotopes.org)
Are
your results close to
previous results?
What's
the actual source
of the water? (check out www.nsf.org)
Can
there be seasonal
variations?
How
tight are the bottle
tops?
The 18O
results are
from
CO2-water
equilibration runs on a GasBench, and the numbers
reported
are the 18O
per mil vs VSMOW values for the water
itself. The DH
results are from runs on an H-device, and the values reported are DH
per mil vs VSMOW after correction to standards. The reported
values are averages from duplicate or triplicate (or more)
runs--outliers were not thrown out. Expected errors are
<0.1
per mil for 18O,
<1 per mil for DH.
