Table 1.

Concentrations of BPDE-HSA adducts in groups of PAH-exposed and unexposed persons from the current study.

			ng BPDE-HSA/mg HSA (fmol BPDE equivalents/mg HSA)
Exposure Group	PAH Exposure	n	Geometric Mean	Geometric SD	Range
Coke-oven workers	High	10	67.8^* (1,010)	1.99	22.4–257 (336–3,800)
Steel-factory control workers	Medium	10	14.7^* (220)	2.63	1.4–53.5 (21.0–801)
Unexposed controls^a	Low	10	1.93^* (28.9)	2.68	0.5–15.3 (7.5–229)

p-value <0.05 versus both other groups. Comparisons were made by ANOVA of logged data using pairwise t-tests with Bonferroni correction.

Adducts not detected (< 1 ng/mg HSA) in two control subjects.
