vol_pump volume of air pumped to accumulate sample cubic meters
for each element below, also reported are:
_err which indicates combined sampling and analytical error
_dl indicating detection level, a '1' indicates that while a peak was detected,
the isotope sample was below the level of detection relative
to background "noise". The element concentration reported
therefore represents the amount of the isotope which would
have had to have been present for it to have been detected.
a '0' indicates no flag - concentration is as measured.
