a

Median, 95th percentile, and maximum concentrations, respectively; concentrations are lipid adjusted; % lipid accounted for in the intake calculations.

b

Median, 95th percentile, and maximum concentrations, respectively.

c

Maximum concentration reported used for the regulatory default scenario; mean and 95th percentile values were derived assuming a normal distribution across the average of the nine lakes and use in the central tendency and upper‐bound scenarios, respectively.

d

Medium bound intake used for central tendency, upper‐bound intake used for upper‐bound and regulatory default.
