A For samples below limit of detection (LOD), a value of one-half the LOD was assigned in lieu of analyte mass, then divided by sample volume

B p-value < 0.05 for test of equal geometric means between Specular Hematite and Coal Slag (one-way ANOVA using log-transformed data)

C p-value < 0.05 for test of equal geometric means between Coal Slag and Steel Grit

D p-value < 0.05 for test of equal geometric means between Specular Hematite and Steel Grit

E Geometric means for Cr (VI) not compared due to differing laboratory analysis methods between years
