Values in brackets were calculated values by the CONTAM Panel based on the data provided in the papers.
Mean values of all samples are calculated by setting samples in which the compounds were not detected to 0 and trace value below LOQ to LOD.
It was not reported in the paper whether the mean was calculated for all samples or for positive samples only.
Exact origin not indicated.
