Notes: * = amount of sample digested with Na citrate-Na bicarbonate-dithionite (CBD) method is negligible. † = errors are expressed as two standard deviations around the mean for at least two independent measurements. ‡ = anomalously high values due to contaminated resin. AR = aqua regia. HF = hydrofluoric acid. — = not measured.
