Modified.TcCB.df: Modified 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene Data with Censored Values
Description
Artificial 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene (TcCB) concentrations with censored values;
based on the reference area data stored in EPA.94b.tccb.df
. The data
frame EPA.94b.tccb.df
contains TcCB concentrations (ppb) in soil samples
at a reference area and a cleanup area. The data frame
Modified.TcCB.df
contains a modified version of the data from the reference area.
For this data set, the concentrations of TcCB less than 0.5 ppb have been recoded as
