Exposure to DEPs decreases olfactory sensitivity in mice. (A) Sniffing times and seconds were measured using 10% peanut butter solution as the attractive scent. Both times and seconds significantly decreased after DEP inhalation. (B) Sniffing times and seconds were measured using 10% trichloroacetic acid solution as the aversive scent. The number of sniffing significantly decreased in mice that inhaled DEPs. Statistical significance was indicated as * for p-value ≤ 0.05 and as ** for p-value ≤ 0.01.
