+
+ Preprocessing of data was performed based on the recommendations of the FOCUS
+ kinetics workgroup (FOCUS, 2014) as described below.
+
+ Datasets 1 and 2 are from the Renewal Assessment Report (RAR) for imazamox
+ (France, 2015, p. 15). For setting values reported as zero, an LOQ of 0.1
+ was assumed. Metabolite residues reported for day zero were added to the
+ parent compound residues.
+
+ Datasets 3 and 4 are from the Renewal Assessment Report (RAR) for isofetamid
+ (Belgium, 2014, p. 8) and show the data for two different radiolabels. For
+ dataset 4, the value given for the metabolite in the day zero sampling
+ in replicate B was added to the parent compound, following the respective
+ FOCUS recommendation.
+
+ Dataset 5 is from the Renewal Assessment Report (RAR) for ethofumesate
+ (Austria, 2015, p. 16).
+
+ Datasets 6 to 10 are from the Renewal Assessment Report (RAR) for glyphosate
+ (Germany, 2013a, pages 8, 28, 50, 51). For the initial sampling,
+ the residues given for the metabolite were added to the parent
+ value, following the recommendation of the FOCUS kinetics workgroup.
+
+ Dataset 11 is from the Renewal Assessment Report (RAR) for 2,4-D
+ (Germany, 2013b, p. 644). Values reported as zero were set to NA, with
+ the exception of the day three sampling of metabolite A2, which was set
+ to one half of the LOD reported to be 1\% AR.
+
+ Dataset 12 is from the Renewal Assessment Report (RAR) for thifensulfuron-methyl
+ (United Kingdom, 2014, p. 81).
