That term is the maximum established for his crime under nonbinding federal sentencing guidelines.
(The current maximum, established in 1984, is only 17 fine human hairs wide and 10 hairs deep).
The method was applied for fluoride determination in water samples and the levels found were below the maximum values established by Brazilian environmental and health legislations.
Under optimum conditions, external calibration in solvent could be used for quantification purposes and limits of quantification were below the maximum contents established by the European Union regulation for these contaminants/commodity group combination (0.07 0.14 µg/kg for white rice and 0.20 0.28 µg/kg for brown rice).
Experiments were performed in large, indoor mesocosms (Plankton Towers) with a temperature gradient of 10°C and a deep-water algal maximum established below the thermocline.
The detection limit for chloride and other anions are below the maximum contaminant levels established by the EPA.
The proposed methods have been validated according to the Food Drugs Administration guideline and presents the limit of quantification below the maximum residue limits established by the European Union for quinolones in turkey muscle.
The method was applied to samples intended for human consumption, and within the 15 evaluated samples, only one showed florfenicol residue at 30 ng g−1, which is below the maximum residue limit established in Brazil.
In general, quantitative recoveries (>85% in most cases) and satisfactory precision (RSD < 13% for most of compounds) were obtained, with limits of detection (LODs) well below the maximum authorized concentrations established by the European legislation.
The detection limits (CCα) found, from 0.51 to 1.05 μg kg−1, are far below the maximum residue levels (MRLs) established by the European Union for simazine, atrazine, terbuthylazine, ametryn, simetryn, prometryn and terbutryn in oranges.
