Are task-based exposure levels a valuable index of exposure for epidemiology?
I read with interest the paper by Nieuwenhuijsen et al. (1995) concerning the exposure levels of airborne dust and aeroallergens in bakeries and similar workplaces. The authors describe a study where personal total inhalable dust samples were obtained during tasks which were "expected to be associated with levels of exposure greater than the shift averages". In total, 31 tasks were identified a...
متن کاملOccupational COPD and job exposure matrices: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND The association between occupational exposure and COPD reported previously has mostly been derived from studies relying on self-reported exposure to vapors, gases, dust, or fumes (VGDF), which could be subjective and prone to biases. The aim of this study was to assess the strength of association between exposure and COPD from studies that derived exposure by job exposure matrices (J...
متن کاملOccupational exposure, epidemiology and compensation.
The data summarized in this section are taken mainly from the 2000 Report of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), and generally refer to occupational exposures assessed to have been experienced during the earlyand mid-1990s [1]. Occupational exposures in the United Kingdom from 1998 to 2003 have been reviewed recently by the Radiation Protection ...
متن کاملPerformance of population specific job exposure matrices (JEMs): European collaborative analyses on occupational risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with job exposure matrices (ECOJEM).
OBJECTIVES To compare the performance of population specific job exposure matrices (JEMs) and self reported occupational exposure with data on exposure and lung function from three European general populations. METHODS Self reported occupational exposure (yes or no) and present occupation were recorded in the three general population surveys conducted in France, The Netherlands, and Norway. A...
متن کاملExposure and dose modelling in occupational epidemiology.
Complex and dynamic physiologic processes underlie the exposure-response relations that occupational and environmental epidemiologists study. Simple summary measures of exposure such as the average, cumulative exposure, or duration of exposure, can be applied suitably in exposure-response analyses in many instances. However, there are situations where these metrics may not be directly proportio...
