a

Units in mass/mass oilc = mass/mass oil consumed. NA - not applicable, compounds do not have assigned TEF values. Range of data represents 1 standard deviation if nothing else stated. Detection limits and additional PAHs and alkanes are shown in SI Tables S8-S10.

b

Relative percent difference, only two samples with detectable levels.
