In addition, Hoppin et al. reported that the lifetime number of days of occupational application of DDT in agriculture was significantly associated with higher prevalence of chronic bronchitis (Hoppin et al. 2007).
This decision was made because the observed prevalence of possible TCE exposure among population-based controls in this study (42% of controls; Table 1) was unrealistically high given the narrow set of occupational applications for TCE (Bakke et al. 2007), thus suggesting poor specificity for this lower-stringency definition for exposure.
Application of the classical tools of occupational medicine and industrial hygiene is hampered by the lack of consensus guidelines for medical monitoring, exposure assessment, and exposure control.

In 2000, the percentage of applications rejected due to lack of occupational rehabilitation was 20.4%, which demonstrate the current importance of the treatment rehabilitation criteria [ 24].
