Graph It!
2002 data based on quarterly composites; percentiles and standard deviation cannot be determined for that year.
Notes:  Values below the Limit of Detection (LoD) assumed to be ½ LoD.
Means and risks shown only for years with data in all 12 months.
Risks shown only for those substances with unit risk factors.
