Ranges in personal air samples were as follows: DEP (0.26-7-12 microgram/m[superscript]3), DBP (0.11-14.76 microgram/m[superscript]3), DEHP (0.05-1.08 microgram/m[superscript]3), and BBzP (0.00-0.63 microgram/m[superscript]3). The mean personal air concentrations of DBP, di-isobutyl phthalate, and DEHP are higher in Krakow, whereas the mean personal air ...
