Figure 4: Correlations of Bioactivities with Targeted Chemical Concentrations in Household Dust.

Figure 4:

Spearman’s correlations between concentrations of targeted semi-volatile contaminant concentrations (only performed for chemicals with ≥ 75% detection rate across extracts) in house dust extracts and the bioactivities exhibited by these paired dust extracts. Bioactivities examined include adipogenic activity (normalized triglyceride accumulation per cell and pre-adipocyte proliferation) and antagonism of thyroid receptor beta. Correlations performed using SAS 9.4; bolded samples represent significant (p<0.05) correlations, and the color depicts the strength and direction of the correlation. Darker colors represent a stronger correlation, blue coloration depicts positive correlations, and red depicts negative correlations.
