For each exposure time, means followed by the same lower case letter within each column are not significantly different using Tukey–Kramer (HSD) test at 0.05. For each ratio, differences between EO and OLNS denoted with an asterisk indicate a significant difference using t-student test at 0.05. Where no letters exist, no significant differences were noted.
