Therefore, the BDE 209 background concentration
was far below the spiked ones and could be neglected.
The contaminant/dose pairings of the two chemicals in the treatment
groups were represented by control (0 mg kg1BDE209 + 160.25 mg kg1 Pb), 1B (1 mg kg1 BDE209 + 160.25
mg kg1 Pb), 10B (10 mg kg1 BDE209 + 160.25 mg kg1 Pb) and
100B (100 mg kg1 BDE209 + 160.25 mg kg1 Pb).
All the treatments were incubated at room temperatur
