  • Title: Choice and criteria for selection of sampling strategies in environmental radioactivity monitoring.
    Author: Scott EM, Dixon P, Voigt G, Whicker W.
    Journal: Appl Radiat Isot; 2008 Nov; 66(11):1575-81. PubMed ID: 18511288.
    Abstract:
    Environmental radioactivity monitoring requires a sampling strategy to be defined, adopted and delivered using sound scientific principles. Statistical sampling delivers a set of sampling units from the population that is representative of all sampling units that could be taken. Such a representative set can then be used to draw inference(s) and conclusion(s) about the population based upon a statistical model. The environmental knowledge of the context in which the sampling is to be carried out plays a vital role in determining the appropriate statistical sampling strategy.
