Figure 41. Concentrations of co-occurring compounds at various sites.
Concentrations of each compound have been normalized by dividing the
aquatic-life criterion value for that compound. Thus, a normalized
concentration greater than 1 (shown as a horizontal line) indicates a
concentration greater than the aquatic-life criterion value. The y-axis is
logarithmic, so that a normalized concentration of 10 means that the
concentration is 10 times the aquatic-life criterion value. Concentrations
reported as not detected are plotted on the x-axis.
