  1. Means (standard deviations) of exhaled carbon monoxide (eCO) values registered in laboratory A and B (environmental eCO level 0.8 and 1.7 ppm, respectively). Values are reported as particles per milion (ppm) .
  2. Statistical analysis: ANOVA: LabA Vs Lab B non significant; hyperventilation Vs normoventilation p < 0.01; hyperventilation Vs normoventilation p < 0.01; normal inspiration Vs deep inspiration p < 0.01.
