Summary statistics (median, 95th percentile) for MIX N compounds for levels (μg/L) in urine (phthalates and BPA) and plasma (PFAS) as documented by NHANES (2011-16). Biomonitoring guidance values (μg/L) are provided for comparison. The minimum guidance value is displayed if more than one is given (https://biomonitoring.shinyapps.io/guidance/ (accessed on 25 January 2023)).
