Elemental concentrations as obtained from the Auto Quantify Liquid application, without correction for bias
Rep. reproducibility
aP, Ca and Zn concentrations are not corrected for the blank contributions and so are not those in the honey sample but include the contribution of the 6 μm polypropylene film
