What does Black Water / Human Toilet Waste tell you?
The laboratory examines the submitted sample for its selected human-associated bacterial marker.
The report addresses the selected human-associated marker in the submitted sample. Detection or non-detection is not a complete pathogen screen and does not establish cleanup clearance.
What should you do with the results?
A reported target or measurement
Use the reported marker result alongside inspection and the event history. Known wastewater contamination warrants direct investigation and appropriate cleanup regardless of one sample result.
The selected marker is not detected
A non-detect applies only to the selected human-associated marker in that sample. It is not a complete pathogen screen or cleanup clearance; known wastewater contamination still warrants direct investigation and appropriate cleanup.
The sample is invalid or insufficient
An invalid or insufficient sample is not a non-detect. Follow the laboratory’s support and recollection instructions before drawing a conclusion.
