  1. Abbreviations: BP-3 benzophenone-3, LOD limit of detection (0.4 ng/ml for some years and 0.2 ng/ml for other years)
  2. For concentrations below the LOD: concentrations were assigned a value equal to the LOD divided by square root of 2 for the calculation of geometric means
  3. a Number of participants
