Table 1.

Measured concentrations (ng L−1) of polar organic contaminants in grab water and composite effluent samples from the San Francisco Bay. Water sample measurements are given for both deployment and retrieval dates at each sample site. Missing values represent non-detects at the reporting limit (0.6 – 1.2 ng L−1). Values shown are the means of three laboratory replicates for each site sample (n=3) for Napa River, Effluent C, and San Leandro Bay samples, and the means of two field replicates (n=2) for Coyote Creek samples. Concentrations given without a standard deviation represent a single sample & measurement for each site (n=1).
