Table 1.

The means and standard deviations for levels of four individual naphthyl-keratin adducts (1NK1, 2NK1, 1NK10, 2NK10), total keratin-1 adducts, total keratin-10 adducts, total 1-naphthyl keratin adducts, and total 2-naphthyl keratin adducts (pmole adduct/μg keratin) measured in the epidermis of the US Air Force personnel exposed to jet fuel.
