2 Fig. 1 Cumulative frequency of dust mite (Der p 1 and Der f 1), Bla g 1, and Fel d 1 allergen in settled dust in 3 rooms: kitchen, television/living room, and child’s bedroom. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , DOI: ( /S (98) ) Copyright © 1998 Mosby, Inc. Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Relationship of Bla g 1 allergen concentrations in settled dust collected from the child’s bedroom and the frequency of positive skin test responses among the children living in those bedrooms. Hatched bars represent the 8 categories of bedroom allergen concentration, and the height of the bars represents frequency of positive skin test responses in children living in those bedrooms. Line summarizes fitted relationship of individual exposure and frequency of positive skin test responses. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology  , DOI: ( /S (98) ) Copyright © 1998 Mosby, Inc.

4 Fig. 3 Interrelationship of exposure atopic status and frequency of sensitization to cockroach allergen. Each bar represents subgroup of children arranged according to exposure (bedroom Bla g 1 concentrations) and atopy (total number of positive skin test responses). The height of the bar represents the frequency of positive skin test responses in the children defined by these parameters, and the numbers on the front of the bar indicate this frequency.
