Table 2.

Geometric means (and geometric standard deviations) of urinary analytes before and after 6 h of work by self-reported smoking status

Levels of urinary analytes (ng/l) Before work (n=18)
After work (n=17)
Non-smokers (n=10) Smokers (n=8) Non-smokers (n=9) Smokers (n=8)
1-OH-naphthalene 672 (4) 1604 (3) 1978 (2)* 3395 (2)*
2-OH-naphthalene 1808 (2) 4316 (2)* 2670 (2) 6186 (2)* ‡
9-OH-phenanthrene 265 (4) 846 (2)* 713 (3)* 1572 (2)*
2-OH-fluorene 358 (3) 1495 (2)* 925 (3)* 2724 (2)* ‡
1-OH-pyrene 213 (3) 692 (2)* 498 (2)* 1002 (2)*
8-OHd-guanosine (μg/l) 8 (6) 12 (2) 29 (2)* 59 (2)* †

Using multiple comparisons: *p<0.05 when compared with non-smokers before work; †p<0.05 when compared with smokers before work; ‡p<0.05 when compared with non-smokers after work.
