Default Should this be Weeks or Week?

Ten weeks old jack pines were exposted to S0 concentrations from 3.9 to 39 mmol.

Ten weeks or ten week?

Thanks!

The rest of the sentence appears to discuss concentrations of sulphur oxides (?). (Science is not my cup of tea. ) Possibly "exposted" is a typo and should be "exposed"...? Maybe crussell will enlighten us.

I agree about "exposed". SO is sulfur monoxide and is an unstable compound (SO2 is the more common form.) I would also say concentration of 3.9 to 39 mmol per [some volume - usually liter]

Yes, it was a type. It should be exposed. Thank you.
