  • 1 Extracted concentration = concentration in extract − concentration in control.

  • 2 Mean concentrations of two replicates per material.

  • 3 ≤C = Concentration in extract was less than or equal to the concentration in the control.

  • 4 <LQD = Concentration was less than the lowest quantity determinable.
