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.
EPA.94b.tccb.df
A data frame with 124 observations on the following 4 variables.
TcCB.orig
a character vector with the original tetrachlorobenzene concentrations (ppb)
TcCB

coded as 0.99
Censored
