Values not currently included in the chemical parameter Regional screening table (see footnote a) were derived following the hierarchy outlined in the Regional Screening Tables User’s Guide.
RSLS – Based on values reported in the U.S. EPA Regional Screening Tables. May 2014.
EPI – Experimental values. USEPA 2009. Estimation Programs Interface Suite™ for Microsoft® Windows, v 4.00. United States Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, USA.
If the source has a trailing “e” the value is an estimated value rather than an experimental value.
If the source has a trailing “ex” the value is an extrapolated value. Extrapolated data is based upon experimental measurement outside the temperature range of the reported value.
