  1. Kruskal-Wallis and Student-Newman-Keuls Tests (comparisons). Medians were calculated using mortalities from different concentrations (1-100 ppm) after 24 hours. Different numbers indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences in the same column. Different letters indicate significant (p < 0.05) differences in the same row.
