Studies on mesothelioma combining occupational history with biologic exposure indices indicate occupational asbestos exposure in 62 to 85% of the cases.
Random-effects summary ORs and 95% CIs were estimated to provide an indicator of the overall strength of associations between pesticide exposure indices and childhood leukemia.
More traditionally, wind exposure is estimated using topographic exposure indices.
The 16 studies varied considerably in design, exposure indices used, and disease definition.
Correlations between local winds predicted during strong wind events and topographic exposure indices varied depending on the model used, ranging from non-significant to moderate (0.58).
These values were used to estimate the risk index for water penetration at each location and to determine the relationships between the different exposure indices calculated from the daily, monthly, and annual data.
After restricting the dataset to one point from every 16 km2 panel, mean wind speed was found to be correlated with elevation (0.48, 0.86), but less well with topographic exposure indices (0.17 0.72).
The procedure was implemented in three Spanish regions with different climates (Galicia, Catalonia and Andalusia), by combining precipitation and wind velocity records compiled at 393 weather stations distributed across these regions, using wind maps, and fitting relationships between exposure indices.
Absorptive capacity is captured through access to credit, asset, diversification, flood disaster exposure indices.
Similarly, Jenelius et al. [3] elicited a number of link importance indices and site exposure indices based on the increase in generalized travel cost when links are closed.
Comparisons of the fiber size distributions and exposure indices by laboratory and counting method were performed.No significant differences in size distributions by the ISO and modified ISO methods were observed.
