New electric‐shock job exposure matrix

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2011
AbstractBackgroundTo evaluate a consistent association between jobs in “electric” occupations and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a comprehensive job exposure matrix (JEM) that includes electric shocks and magnetic fields (MF) is needed.MethodsWe used incident electric shocks and electrocutions from two available data sources along with expert ...

Methodology and utility of a job‐exposure matrix

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1993
AbstractWe have previously reported a study in which a job‐exposure matrix was applied to census data, identifying, e.g., polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and creosote as increasing the risk of urothelial cancer. In this article, we expand on some theoretical issues, and present detailed accounts of constructed linkages for PCBs, creosote, and phenols.

Studying the Performance of a Job Exposure Matrix

International Journal of Epidemiology, 1993
During the last decade, the use of job exposure matrices (JEM) in occupational studies has grown but uncertainty remains among epidemiologists and industrial hygienists regarding this methodology and appropriate methodological tools are needed to study the performance of JEM. It must first be emphasized that a true validation can rarely be achieved and

Job-exposure matrix for the assessment of alkylphenolic compounds

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2016
Our aim was to develop a job-exposure matrix (JEM) to assess occupational exposure to alkylphenolic compounds in epidemiological research, considering changes in their use over time, and including exposure probabilities in the assessments.We consulted multiple sources of information, and performed interviews with 9 key people from industry and academia.

Using the job-exposure matrix for elaborating job histories

Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, 1992
A first software (JHS) for the elaboration of job histories oriented toward risks was designed and results published In an article "A software for the elaboration of Job Histories". This article presents a second software (JES), based on the use of a job-exposure matrix designed for one company.

Occupational exposure to chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons: Job exposure matrix

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 1994
AbstractA job exposure matrix combining features to increase the accuracy of exposure assessment was developed to evaluate cancer risks from workplace exposures to six chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs). A detailed description of the matrix is provided to satisfy the need for more in‐depth discussion of exposure assessment methods than is ...

A job-exposure matrix addressing hand exposure to wet work

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2019
The aim of this study was to create a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for wet work. A JEM is a tool used to assess exposure to potential health hazards in occupational epidemiological studies. It can be used when counselling concerning job change/job choice, as a medico-legal tool when recognizing diseases as occupational and when planning interventions ...

A Job-Exposure Matrix for Occupational Noise: Development and Validation

The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2013
To develop a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for occupational noise in Sweden and to estimate its validity.The JEM, developed by a group of experienced occupational hygienists, contains 321 job families with information regarding occupational noise from 1970 to 2004.

Meta-analysis of job-exposure matrix data from multiple sources

Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, 2017
The objectives of this study were to determine the heterogeneity of data sources used to construct a job-exposure matrix (JEM) for occupational noise, and to calculate pooled exposure estimates for different job titles using different sources. The JEM was populated with measurements from government databases, private industry, and the published ...

Cumulative exposure estimates for polychlorinated biphenyls using a job-exposure matrix

Chemosphere, 2009
PCB exposure has been associated with increased risk for cancer, neurological disease, and for birth defects in children exposed in utero. Because of the long half-lives of PCB congeners, they remain a public health problem in the United States 30 years after being banned.
