^aThe sum of CPs (sumCP) was calculated from individual results. The detection frequency (DF) is the percentage of samples with a concentration above the MDLs; reference dose (RfD) values for SCCPs, MCCPs, and LCCPs were calculated by dividing respective LOEL values (2.3,⁴⁰ 6, and 71⁴¹ mg/kg bw/d) by a safety factor of 1000;¹⁸ N.A.: not available.
