a(μg/L) = Micrograms per Liter; b(GM) = Geometric Mean; c(LCL) = Lower Confidence Limit; d(UCL) = Upper Confidence Limit; e(SD) = Standard Deviation; f(n) = Number
in Sample; g(D/ND) = Number of Detects/Number of Non-Detects; h(p) = Level of Significance at p= 0.05 Level (Highlighted in Bold); i(μg/g) = Micrograms per Gram. ***
Indicates that all three groups are significantly different from each other. |
