WWTP, wastewater treatment plant; Q, quality assurance; NS, not sampled; NA, not analyzed; --, not applicable; <, less than; E, estimated; FB, field blank; OFB, office equipment blank; FR, field replicate; Compounds are reported as estimated due to the following: (1) compounds had low recoveries, (2) high variable recoveries, (3) unstable instrument response, or (4) standards from a technical mixture.
