Table 2. Blink frequency.
Exposure condition | 0–20 min | 100–120 min |
---|---|---|
Control (0 ppm) | 11.7 (2.4) | 10.9 (2.5) |
0.05 ppm of acrolein | 11.5 (1.5) | 10.9 (1.9) |
0.1 ppm of acrolein | 11.7 (1.7) | 12.6 (2.7)* |
Ethyl acetate | 11.9 (3.5) | 11.6 (1.9) |
Ethyl acetate + 0.05 ppm of acrolein | 11.2 (1.6) | 12.5 (3.0) |
Ethyl acetate + 0.1 ppm of acrolein | 11.7 (1.4) | 11.9 (2.4) |
Data of 18 volunteers measured in the beginning (0–20 min) and end (100–120 min) of the 2 h exposure. Results (average) were presented in time series as blinks per 20 min with standard deviations in parentheses.
p = 0.049 (ANOVA) compared to the first 20 min of exposure.
