1Hazardous waste number.
2Chemical abstracts service number.
3Quantitation limit is greater than the
calculated regulatory level. The quantitation limit therefore becomes
the regulatory level.
4If o-, m-, and p-Cresol concentrations cannot
be differentiated, the total cresol (D026) concentration is used. The
regulatory level of total cresol is 200 mg/l.
