Mean intake estimated from 3 diaries, g/d

Mean urinary biomarker measurements from three collections
  1-OHPG, ng/mLc <LOD 0.10 1.71 0.14
  Adjusted 1-OHPG, ng/g creatinine <LOD 0.17 1.77 0.24
a

We took the mean of the repeated measures for each exposure metric and calculated the distribution of the means.

b

Coupled with a BaP residue database.

c

The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.03 ng/mL.
