PC, positive control; SW, surface water; GW, groundwater; BF, river-bank infiltration; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval; GM ratio, geometric means ratio.

aDifferences in geometric means of measured response.

bResults from the 2004–2005 survey relative to the 1985 survey, adjusted for age group and gender.

cDifferences in a prevalence of persons with a strong response (≥20% of PC).
