1989-1995 data and 1996-2024 data represent different methods and should not be compared.
See Report on a Parallel Carbonyl Monitoring Study Using C18 and Silica Gel Sampling Media for details.
	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. "*" means there was insufficient or no data available to determine the value.
