Note: a = Total volume of overlying water in each test vessel.
b = Concentration of naphthalene in the overlying water determined using
the technique of HPLC.
c = Total amount of naphthalene in the overlying water calculated by
multiplying a total volume of overlying water (a) with a concentration of
naphthalene determined in each test vessel (b).
