- ND = non detect. The concentration of PBDE measured was less than the limit of detection (LOD).
-
aMedian LOD. LODs differed between individuals due to the amount of sample collected provided for analysis, sample quantity ranged from 0.374-2.002 g, mean ± se = 1.898 ± 0.009.
-
bFor samples with PBDE concentrations < LOD, the value of LOD/sqrt 2 was substituted.
-
cPBDE congener distribution (median %) calculated as the percent contribution of the sum of 12 congeners to the total sum of median congener concentrations (ΣPBDE).
