Wyoming and Colorado, with relatively small waterfowl populations, had the highest exposure rates of any states examined (25%andd 12.8%, respectively).
For example in mercury or pesticides monitoring, meconium showed the highest exposure rates compared to cord blood and infant hair [ 54, 83].
It is also possible that housestaff may have been more likely to be aware of the PEP program and more likely to report an exposure than other hospital staff but we would still expect that because housestaff are the most likely to perform procedures at a teaching hospital that they would have the highest exposure rates.
In these national reports, antimicrobial and cardiovascular agents, analgesics and respiratory drugs are the most commonly used in preterm neonates [ 16, 17, 25, 26, 28, 75]; antibiotics have the highest exposure rates and also the highest differences between nations in terms of drug substances.
High exposure rate results in a higher growth rate, and a thicker film with columnar microstructure that bridges most pores in the porous nickel cermet substrates.
An African American child in America is 10 times more likely to die from asthma than a white child; and compared to their white peers, African Americans have a nearly 40-percent higher exposure rate to air pollution.
This high incidence density is not surprising in the study population of the present study due to the high exposure rate among them.
However, the 2011 Ugandan Demographic and Health Survey reports a high exposure rate of lifetime spousal physical violence for men and women (26% and 37% respectively) [ 7].
This produces a systematically higher exposure rate among the comparison group, an therefore distorts the odds ratio with an underestimation of the suicide attempt risk.
Parameters in cumulative exposure and exposure rate models are directly interpretable in terms of the disease and cumulative exposure relationship and the modulating effects of exposure delivery (high exposure rate for short duration or low rate for long duration).
