GSD, geometric standard deviation.

a

Multiple imputation (n = 10 imputed datasets) was used to impute air-sampling data below detection limits.

b

Number of measurements representing the TWA recorded for each paint task. Because of sampling pump malfunction, seven samples collected in NC and one sample collected in WA were excluded.
