Any other information on results incl. tables

The results are expressed in terms of nominal concentrations. Recovery rates ranged from 119.2 - 172.7 % of nominal values at 0 hours, and from 119.7 - 172.7 % of nominal values at 48 hours, respectively. The high recovery of 172.7 % in the lowest concentration was determined close to the limit of quantification. It has no impact on the study result.
