        (a) Amb = ambient sample.  Run #1 at the stack was difficult to 
                interpret due to water interference.
        (b) Location designations:
                I = Baghouse Inlet
                S = Stack
        (c) The in-cell concentration is from analysis of the FTIR spectrum.
                Blank spaces indicate a non-detect.
        (d) Flue gas concentration is determined as described in Section 4.6.5.
        (e) Trichlorofluoromethane (CCl3F)
