Incidence rate ratio (IRR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) and P-values; P-values based on comparison to CO2 following generalized linear model (GLM) with negative binomial error structure and log link in R 2.11.0 software; number in front of each compound represents the optimal dose of each component evaluated in mg/ml.
