Control	5	166500 ± 13642	14000 ± 2236 (9%)
Exposed	5	202000 ± 18083	18667 ± 2014 (10%)
Control	26-27	171600 ± 19724	13600 ± 3748 (9%)**
Exposed	26-27	177000 ± 14325	25857 ± 3141 (15%)

Cells were counted in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from time-mated mice that had not achieved pregnancy 5 days after termination of exposure (NP; n = 8-9) and in littering time-mated dams after weaning, 26-27 days after exposure (P; n = 13-14). Mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01 vs. control P.
