Description
Return removal bounds from a residual interval.
Environmental-remediation bookkeeping uses explicit water, soil, dry-mass, concentration and sampling bases. A local mass residual, censored-result bound or supplied target margin does not identify a removal mechanism, establish representativeness or determine an environmentally acceptable contaminant level.
Return removal bounds from a residual interval.
When to use this tool
Use Censored Removal Bound Width when checking the stated remediation measurement, mass/volume balance or support convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter initial, residualLower, residualUpper. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read removalLower, removalUpper, width. Use the output convention below.
Return removal bounds from a residual interval. Require initial >= 0 and 0 <= residualLower <= residualUpper; removalLower = initial-residualUpper, removalUpper = initial-residualLower, width = residualUpper-residualLower.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| initial | Initial | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| residualLower | Residual Lower | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| residualUpper | Residual Upper | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| removalLower | Removal Lower | Required. Finite number. |
| removalUpper | Removal Upper | Required. Finite number. |
| width | Width under the stated bit, interval or geometry convention; apply the field-specific units and bounds. | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Negative removal is retained when residual exceeds initial; these are deterministic supplied bounds, not confidence limits or evidence of treatment success.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified sampling and analytical data, consistent material/unit bases and a complete transport or treatment model; involve qualified environmental professionals for practical or regulatory decisions.
