Figure Lengend Snippet: Box and whisker plots of urinary 1-hydroxynaphtalene (1-OH-NAP), 2-hydroxynaphtalene (2-OH-NAP), 1-hydroxyacenaphtene (1-OH-ACE), 9-hydroxyfluorene (9-OH-FLU), 2-hydroxyfluorene (2-OH-FLU), 9-hydroxyphenanthrene (9-OH-PHE), and 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OH-PYR) in samples taken pre-exercise and post-exercise for the 20 firefighter students attending an examination exercise involving live fire. Extreme data points are marked with dots ( o ) (Q1, Q3 ± 1.5 × IQR) and *, ** represent P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively (Wilcoxon rank–sum test). Abbreviation: IQR = interquartile range.
