- Unit; mean ± S.E; (), number of animals per group; ng (in whole lung); E1, exposed for 1 day, PEO-1, post-exposure observation day 1; PEO-7 post-exposure observation day 7; PEO-28, post-exposure observation day 28; amount of deposition in whole lung = ng/g lung tissue analyzed by ICP-MS x whole lung weight and it was corrected the lung tissue spiked standard curve; further data details are included in Supplements 5, 6, 7 and 8; the clearance (%) was comparing PEO-1 for each a groups; B/A and D/C represent co-exposure/single exposure; Significant differences using ANOVA of multiple comparison; a) p < 0.05, comparing PEO-1; b) p < 0.05, comparing PEO-2; **p < 0.05 compared with single and co-exposure
