The data show measurements of bromide (serum) and methyl bromide, ethylene oxide, ethylene dichloride, dichloromethane and methanol in whole blood samples. The bold data, indicate for values higher than the references. For details see Methods.

Con. = controls (n = 30); n.d. not determined; Ref. DFG = reference values available from the Senate Commission of the German Research Council [DFG, 2012].
