Study Info: The information provided includes the HERO ID and citation; country and year samples collected; number of samples and detection frequency.

Abbreviations: If a value was applicable, it is shown in this table as ND = not detected at the reported detection limit; GM = geometric mean; NR = not reported.

The following abbreviations are for countries/continents: AQ = Antarctica, BE = Belgium, BR = Brazil, CA = Canada, CH = Switzerland, CL = Chile, CN = China, DE = Germany, ES = Spain, EU = Europe, Fl
= Finland, FR = France, GB = Great Britain, GR = Greece, IT = Italy, JP = Japan, KR = Korea, MX = Mexico, NL = Netherlands, PT = Portugal, RS = Serbia, RU = Russia, SA = Saudi Arabia, SE = Sweden, SG
