Abbreviations: DF, detection frequency; LOD, limit of detection; “—”, statistic not reported when analyte was not detected.

a

One participant in the urban cohort (Oakland, CA) was lost to follow-up before collection of the second dust sample; thus, statistics reported for the second collection time point are for 19 urban homes.

b

Samples 1 and 2 were collected 5–8 days apart from the same general location in the home.
