Fig. 2

Fries were collected from Hamburger Chain A only. Comparison of plasticizers DEHT (represented by black symbols) and DINCH (represented by gray symbols) found in gloves and food items sampled from selected fast food restaurants in San Antonio, TX. Gloves and food items were sampled from the same restaurant location and at the same time. For gloves, one pair was collected from each restaurant and individual data from one sample are plotted (µg/glove). For the food items, individual data are plotted with the median indicated by a line (µg/kg).
