Notes: Concentrations are based on the mean values calculated using equations 7 and 8 (see text). As described in the text, uncertainty due to not knowing Vvapor/Miw is ±33% from the calculated mean. Samples are identified as contaminated if they are contaminated to an extent that creates an uncertainty >33%.
