ToxCast assays resulting in elevated exposure-activity ratios (EARs) across the 2016 Maumee AOC sites for chemicals within the (A) pesticide, (B) wastewater indicator, and (C) pharmaceutical classes as defined by USGS Schedules 2437, 2440 and 4433, respectively. Figures show the maximum EAR sum (max[∑ (EAR[i])[j]] [k], where i= chemicals within in a specific class, j= number of samples, k= number of sites). Boxes represent 25th to 75th percentiles with the median presented as a dark line. Whiskers represent data occurring within 1.5x of the interquartile range (IQR) and distinct points represented as circles occurring beyond the IQR interval. Number of hits refers to the number of values exceeding the 0.1 threshold.
