Therefore, it is possible to have mean concentrations greater than the range (e.g., reported detection limit for nondetects greater than the positive sample). c For ND values the detection limit was used in calculating the mean. d Value in reference was reported as total 2,3,7,8-TCDD toxic equivalents.
