Scientific Investigations Report 2009–5178

Evaluation of Passive Samplers for Long-Term Monitoring of Organic Compounds in the Untreated Drinking Water Supply for the City of Eugene, Oregon, September–October 2007

Table 4. Relative estrogenic potential of chemicals sampled by polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) at three sites in the McKenzie River basin, Oregon, September–October 2007.

[A and B are replicate samples. EEQ, estimated estradiol equivalents as determined by the yeast estrogen screen; ng/L, estimated nanograms of 17β-estradiol per liter of water which gives an equivalent response; ND, not determined - value was less than the 99-percent confidence interval of the negative (solvent) controls; detections are highlighted as bold type in shaded cells]
