Uptake flux measures for the experimental animals
| Uptake flux . | Mean ± s.e.m. . | N . |
|---|---|---|
| Standardized (μg h-1 Pa-1) | 0.061±0.0026 | 63 |
| Mass-specific (% h-1 Pa-1) | 0.014±0.0006 | 63 |
| Mass-specific in 95.3% RH (% h-1) | 3.7±0.3 | 4 |

Sample sizes vary according to the number of individual animals that absorbed in a given humidity.
Vapour pressure gradients for uptake are calculated assuming an uptake threshold of 0.85 or 2690 Pa at 25°C. The standardized uptake flux is calculated using only data from the linear part of the sorption curve(RH<94%).
