Figures & data

Table 1. Individual PAHs, PAH metabolites, ∑PAH7 and ∑PAH21 concentrations (ng/g lw) in dog (n = 87) and human (n = 100) plasma samples from the Canary Islands, Spain.

Figure 1. Levels of PAHs in plasma samples. (a) Main body: Box plots of ∑PAH21 in dogs and humans. Inset: Bar graph of ∑PAH7 (carcinogenic PAHs, median and interquartile range) in dogs and humans. (b) Box plots of ∑PAH metabolites in dog and humans. (c) Profile of distribution of PAHs in dogs and humans. The line inside the boxes represents the median, the bottom and top of the boxes are the first and third quartiles of the distribution and the lines extending vertically from the boxes indicate the variability outside the upper and lower quartiles.

Figure 2. Levels of OCPs in plasma samples. (a) Main body: Box plots of ∑OCPs in dogs and humans. The line inside the boxes represents the median, the bottom and top of the boxes are the first and third quartiles of the distribution and the lines extending vertically from the boxes indicate the variability outside the upper and lower quartiles. Inset: Bar graph of ∑DDTs (median and interquartile range) in dogs and humans. (b) Profile of distribution of OCPs in dogs and humans.

The line inside the boxes represents the median, the bottom and top of the boxes are the first and third quartiles of the distribution and the lines extending vertically from the boxes indicate the variability outside the upper and lower quartiles. Inset: Bar graph of ∑DL-PCBs (median and interquartile range) in dogs and humans. (b) Profile of distribution of PCBs in dogs and humans.
