Chloride concentrations were elevated above the EPA acute water-quality criteria concentration of 860 mg/L in eight of these samples and above the EPA chronic water-quality criteria concentration of 230 mg/L (14) in 11 of these samples, indicating potential for aquatic toxicity effects.
Once criteria values were determined, observations from within the reference period were tested against the criteria with a binomial test to ensure the data within the reference period did not exceed the criteria concentration or frequency.
Participants had to meet ≥3 of the following 5 criteria: concentration of triglycerides ≥110 mg/dL, HDL-C ≤40 mg/dL, WC ≥90th percentile for age/sex (or ATP III limit of 102 cm for males and 88 cm for females, whichever was lower) [ 12, 30], glucose concentration ≥100 mg/dL, and systolic or diastolic BP ≥90th percentile (age, height, and sex-specific) [ 31].
Regulatory or project-specific criteria (acceptable concentrations of priority OWCs) would enable assessment of ecosystem impacts and demonstration of practitioner compliance.
Below is a table of stocks screened for four criteria: high concentrations of hedge-fund owners as of June 30, before the selling frenzy began; share prices that have fallen more than industry averages; positive swings in earnings estimates; and low prices relative to earnings growth.
The relationship of ambient criteria pollutant concentrations to ambient and personal PM2.5 was explored.
Numeric water quality criteria are concentrations or levels of a pollutant that, if achieved, provide an expectation that designated uses will be supported.
Based on predefined criteria, plasma concentrations for this subject were deemed to be outliers because they were less than three times the SD of the mean of the rest of the subjects.
A protein was typically either soluble by the criterion [final concentration]/[initial concentration] > 0.8 or poorly soluble with obvious precipitation.
We repeated the analysis by using a more specific outcome criterion (A1C concentrations of ≥6.1%) while excluding subjects who had A1C concentrations of 5.5 6.0%.
