A/B/C or a/b/c Capital letter superscripts reflect statistical comparison of outdoor dust samples across sites within each metal; groups with different letters are statistically different from one another based on ANOVA of log10 transformed data. Similarly, lower case letter superscripts reflect statistical comparison of indoor dust samples across sites within each metal; groups with different letters are statistically different from one another.
