More than 1.6 million individual analyses were evaluated
for the Monitoring Report 2014. This poster depicts the
undesired substances and the feeds in which they were
most frequently detected. To enable proper classification
of the results, the related readings ranges of each ana-
lysis result are also shown. They help to illustrate the
results in relation to the limit values for the various
feeds. This poster helps businesses to compare the ana-
lysis results with those for their own feeds.
