  1. Selection criteria for substances: confirmed by reference substances (substances marked by *) and/or substances classified as H400, H410 or H411
  2. Analytical laboratories (TZW and BAM) and methods applied to identify substances in MOE eluates are indicated, TZW analyzed only MOE1 eluates by LC–MS and GC–MS, BAM analyzed eluates from MOE1 to MOE8 only by GC–MS; for MOE codes, see Table 1.
