Table 1.

Estimated HC5s and 95% CIs for TPH, PAH and parent naphthalene from several SSDs developed with data from cold-water species (Arctic/sub-Arctic) and non-Arctic species (combined) for water accommodated fractions (WAF, including MEWAF) and chemically enhanced WAF (CEWAF) combining all available data for fresh light (API gravity 31.3–44; 16 oils) and fresh medium (API gravity 24.8–30.6; 4 oils) oil products.
