Any other information on results incl. tables

In 46 water samples (containing sediments) of the river Rhine from Lobith, the mean o-toluidine concentration was 0.03 µg/l (3 samples above the determination limit of 0.02 µg/l, maximum 1.8 µg/l). In its tributaries Boven Merwede and Issel the mean o-toluidine concentration was 0.07 µg/l (1 sample of 12 above detection limit: 0.8 µg/l) and 0.2 µg/l (1 sample of 13 above detection limit: 2.4 µg/l), respectively.
