γ Values presented here are the lower bounds calculated from inequality 2 using the data presented in Figure 1. From these lower bounds, an upper bound on the half-removal time can be calculated using t1/2 = ln2/γ. The average lower bound on γ was 1.1183 days−1, giving an upper bound of 0.6198 days, or 14.876 hours, for the half-removal time t1/2.
