Title: Effects of Exposure Estimation Procedures on the Evaluation of Exposure-Response Relationships for Silicosis.
Authors: Rice, C. H.1, Checkoway, H.2, Dosemeci, M.3, Stewart, P.3, Blair, A.3
Source: Annals of Occupational Hygiene. 1997 Inhaled Particles VIII, Vol. 41, p485-490. 6p.
Subjects: Silicosis, Physiological effects of silica, Health risk assessment, Occupational hazards, Industrial toxicology
Abstract: The article presents a research which examines the impact of exposure estimation procedures on the assessment of exposure-response relationships for silicosis. It highlights the limited number of environmental measurements available as well as identifies the methods used in estimating exposure for jobs during time periods with few or no sample results. The research calculates odds ratios for silicosis in an imputation algorithm. The materials and methods for the research are provided.
