When A1C is >7.0% despite oral therapy, BHG routinely dominates exposure.
For many VOCs, indoor concentrations dominated exposure; however, the authors reported that compounds associated with vehicle emissions were found to have similar indoor and outdoor concentrations (Payne-Sturges et al. 2004).
Residential exposure can dominate total exposure for commercial chemicals of health concern; however, despite the importance of consumer exposures, methods for estimating household exposures remain limited.
Exposures at home can dominate total exposure for a variety of consumer product chemicals, including some flame retardants, phthalates, and pesticides.
We focused on SHS exposure at home and work because these two sources dominate overall exposure in most subjects.
These effects may dominate if exposure to air pollution is increased, e.g., recruitment of precursors of macrophages as observed in rabbits [5] or the oxidation of lipids [6], [33].
According to Riddle et al., basal-elevated glucose levels dominate hyperglycaemic exposure in patients who have failed oral therapy, and HbA1c goals may be most successfully achieved by targeting FPG rather than PPG.
We extended this research to 50 homes in northern California and found that indoor air concentrations were substantially higher than outdoor concentrations for most of the 104 SVOCs measured, indicating that indoor sources dominate total exposure.
Our estimate of the relative importance of dust versus air exposure pathways also revealed that one particular medium does not dominate total exposures.
For formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, and several VOCs, indoor concentrations far exceeded outdoor levels and appeared to dominate personal exposures.
