“…For instance, the pesticide aldrin has the following HL values collected: 28, 43-63, 10, 183, 273-365, 21-584, and 20-100 days. Definitely, the class 1 is not the case (rule (i)), and the smallest values (10,20,21, and 28) were removed to retain the greater values only. For the rest (43, 63, 183, 273, 365, 30, 584, 30, and 100 (30 were used twice to replace 21 and 20), its geometric mean (rule (ii)) is 111 days associating aldrin with the class 3.…”
