Fig. 3: Time-trends in the urinary concentrations of low-weight phthalate metabolites (µg/L).

From: Time-trends in human urinary concentrations of phthalates and substitutes DEHT and DINCH in Asian and North American countries (2009–2019)

a MnBP (DnBP metabolite) in Chinese children. b MnBP in Chinese adults. c MMP (DMP metabolite) in Taiwanese children. Each symbol is a central value (i.e. median or geometric mean). The size of the symbols is related to the study-specific sample size (N) and its weight in the time-trend calculation (see Statistical methods, time-trend analysis). Data from the same data source (Study ID number: see Data traceability in the “PhthaLit” database) are identified by symbols with the same colour in all panels and figures. Grey area: 90% confidence interval.
