Five samples were taken from whole-tree chips directly from the outfeed of the chipper, one sample represented chips made from trees pulled through a chain-flail delimber, and the final sample was from chips collected at the mill site during the off-loading of the truck.
Total cholesterol levels were significantly reduced in BR and CO (P < 0.05) between baseline and the final sample; serum triglycerides remained unchanged, HDL-cholesterol was significantly increased in MX (P < 0.05), and LDL-cholesterol was significantly reduced in CO PP < 0.05).
For the fifth-graders, the final sample for mathematics data consists of 19,109 pupils (9749 males and 9360 females) from 614 schools and the final sample for reading data consists of 18,388 pupils (9347 males and 9041 females) from 605 schools.

The response rate for the survey was approximately 50% and the final sample was 519 respondents.
