Note: Old generation, unlabeled or 3-Free; New generation, 5- to 13-Free; < , calculated value fell below the limit of detection.

b

Samples with detected TPHP significantly different from samples without detected TPHP at p < 0.05 (Wilcoxon rank sum test).

c

New generation samples significantly different from old generation samples at p < 0.001 (Wilcoxon rank sum test).
