Notes
2Units reported as mol/l transformed to g/l as C(g/l) = [C(mol/l) * molecular weight]
10Only maximum range available, or detection limit used as maximum range.
12Average value represents median instead of mean.
15Standard error converted to standard deviation as SD = SEM * sqrt(n)
16Excluded from analysis of variance for missing arithmetic mean, standard deviation or sample count.
