EPA.94b.tccb.df: 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene Concentrations from 1994 USEPA Guidance Document

Description

1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene (TcCB) concentrations (ppb) in soil samples at a reference area and a cleanup area. There are 47 observations for the reference area and 77 for the cleanup area. There is only one nondetect in the dataset (it's in the cleanup area), and it is reported as ND. Here it is assumed the nondetect is less than the smallest reported value, which is 0.09 ppb. Note that on page 6.23 of USEPA (1994b), a value of 25.5 for the Cleanup Unit was erroneously omitted.
