a

Number indicates the order in which the terminals were visited. Visits 1–21 were part of the NCI-funded study. No ratios are provided for Elizabeth (22), Houston (34), and Portland (41) because of sampler failures.

b

Ratios for all visits to terminals for which there were data.

c

Ratios for 6 repeat visits to terminals for which there were data. Portland visit (41) contributed no data for ratios because the downwind samples failed.
