If the reporting company has information 

concerning the concentration of chemical in the product as used by others- for example, as incorporated by dilution into a fonnulation- that additional 

infonnation would also be helpful. 4 This value should be expressed as a weighted average concentration and range. 5 This value should be expressed as a maximum concentration. 6 This value should be expressed as a simple (not weighted) average and range.
