This study shows a marked increase in prescribed medicines over a relatively short time and increasing polypharmacy is the main driver of exposure to PIP.
These model features are important not only as drivers of PFOA exposure, because contaminated drinking water is thought to be the predominant exposure route for most participants (Shin et al. 2011b), but also as indications that exposure uncertainty is unlikely to be statistically independent across participants with the same water source, or across years for the same participant.
Because human exposure to pesticides may be associated with adverse health effects, further research will increase our understanding of the drivers of pesticide exposure among pregnant women.
With a view to increasing local knowledge and informing future preventive intervention strategies, we seek to understand the drivers of AF exposure in rural Zimbabwe.
An extensive literature points to indoor/housing-related factors (e.g., house dust, tobacco smoke, housing age/condition/geographic location) as important drivers of Pb exposure in the United States, with dietary, toxicokinetic, and genetic factors influencing biomarker differences [ 56].
Other percentiles or total population can be treated in a similar manner to determine the relevant 'drivers' of exposure.
The 'drivers' of exposure to BPA from light metal packaging can be derived from Table 9 for UK 19 64 year olds, only.
Various global and regional models stress the massive importance of considering hydrology and water use as major co-driver of net exposure concentrations to chemicals [64].
These results aid local decision making in an effort to better understand the nature of future climate change risks to the city and to identify the main driver of urban exposure.
In Uganda, having many partners was neither common, nor did it appear to be a primary driver of individual exposure or epidemic potential.
