For each analyte and sampling time, values with the letter "a" are not significantly different from the
controls. For values marked with letters other than "a," all values marked with the same letter are not
significantly different from each other. For example, there is no significant difference between the
concentration of nitrobenzene in samples exposed to either PVC or TPE for 1 hour (both marked "i").
D--Concentration of analyte was below MDL.
