We also observed that women with a child with HLHS were two times as likely to live in an area with the highest level of PM2.5 exposure as women whose child did not have a CHD, although a similar association was not seen for women in the middle-high exposure level.
A monotonic exposure-response relationship was also found for leukemias and the tertile categorization of average exposure to VC with HRs of 1.64 (95% CI: 0.31, 8.73) and 1.95 (95% CI: 0.37, 10.43) in the middle and high exposure level.
Although no association was observed for cumulative exposure and multiple myeloma, a monotonic relationship was observed for the tertile categorization of average exposure to benzene with HRs of 1.39 (95% CI: 0.12, 15.65) and 3.15 (95% CI: 0.32, 30.82) in the middle and high exposure level, respectively.
Predicted probabilities of having T2D were computed for a prototype participant, a 45 year old white male with BMI of 27 (middle of the range for non-diabetics in the NHANES sample) and from the middle SES, at high and low exposure levels.
Between 1995 and 1996, when the food supplementation was reduced, mean hemoglobin concentrations decreased at all residential exposure levels except the middle level, 128 218 kBq/m.
More marked effects were seen at higher exposure levels among relatively young and middle-aged, whereas no effects at higher levels were discerned in the oldest age group (60 - 80 years old).
Decrements in sperm motility were observed at all exposure levels, and testicular atrophy was confirmed in high- and middle-dose-group males.
We observed a monotonic exposure-response relationship for leukemias and the tertile categorization of cumulative exposure to VC and PCE with HRs of 1.01 and 1.00 in the middle exposure category, and HRs of 1.72 (95% CI: 0.33, 8.83) and 1.82 (95% CI: 0.36, 9.32) at the high category exposure level, respectively (Table 5a).
"[That] fails because of our exceedingly low exposure levels".
But personal exposure levels indoors increased from south to north.
