During this process a probabilistic estimation of damages, losses, and casualties is created by having a predefined exposure database (for the public and private buildings and water lifelines of Manizales) and their associated vulnerability models.
These estimates could be used to build a regional exposure database and facilitate health risk assessments.
The data processing phase includes all processing of the raw data that have been collected, ending with the creation of a summary exposure database in which exposure estimates are summarized and ready for statistical analysis.
There is no good comprehensive British source of the proportion in the workplace exposed to carcinogenic agents such as a job exposure matrix or a comprehensive national exposure database.
Rabies costs reported to NYS from the study counties were computerized and linked to a human rabies exposure database.
For inorganic lead exposure, the CArcinogen EXposure database, CAREX, estimated that a total of 249,412 workers were exposed in the period 1990 1993 in a variety of industries (Kauppinen et al, 1998).
Therefore, we used the U.S. EPA Pesticide Handler Exposure Database (PHED; U.S. EPA 1998) as a conservative surrogate.
If the RR was extracted from an industry-based study, national data sources such as the CARcinogen EXposure database (CAREX; Pannett et al, 1998) or the UK Labour Force Survey (LFS, 2009) and Census of Employment ONSS, 2009) were used as a basis for estimating the exposed population.
The Pesticide Handlers Exposure Database aims to determine how much residue (as a percentage of pesticide applied) ends up as external exposure to workers (Van Hemmen 1992).
Further details about the assembly of the buildings exposure database of Manizales can be found in Gonzalez (2014).
Those exposure characteristics allowed the association of a unique vulnerability function for each of the hazards considered to each of the entries in the exposure database in order to obtain the expected damages and losses.
