n, number of days; R, right; L, left; LOD, limit of detection.
a
LODs = air: 0.4–2 μg per sample; hand: 30–20 μg per sample; and patches: 6–30 μg per sample.
b
GM, GSD, and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation via the NLMIXED procedure in SAS with person treated as a random effect. The data were left-censored at the LOD. The log-normal distribution was specified in the model.
