Relative Response Factor (RRF) for 30 Organic Extractables. Evaluation of Coverage of Compounds via the Adjustment of the AET (Corresponding to RRF = 1) Downwards with Different Uncertainty Factor (UF) Values. The Italic Entries Mean That the Compound is Covered by the Adjusted AET, the Non-italic Entries Mean That the Compound is Not Covered by the Adjusted AET. As the UF Increases, More Compounds Are Covered by the UF Adjustment. UF = 1 Data from Reference 2
