  1. The lot numbers of FTS used in previous studies are not reported. Bergh et al. tested standards at 1000 ng/mL. If they were detected at that concentration, they were diluted to 100 ng/mL and retried. If they were not detected at 1000 ng/mL, they were screened again at 10,000 ng/mL
  2. *At 20,000 ng/mL or less in water
  3. **In urine
  4. At 1,000 ng/mL or less in water
  5. At 10,000 ng/mL or less in water
