TABLE 28.

Original chronic NOEC for aquatic species to LAS. (In the seventh column, the toxicity values are reported as normalized to a single average environmentally relevant LAS structure (i.e., C11.6). These geometric mean NOEC values will be used in the SSD (Figure 5) to represent that species.)
