• Description:
  Exposure measurements obtained at the workplace is a key component for developing appropriate strategies to monitor and improve occupational safety and health; in particular, for assessing health risks, for identifying cost-effective intervention strategies, and for developing exposure-response relationships that will enhance occupational health. Furthermore, the collection of exposure data involves considerable human and financial resources. Thus it is very crucial that the data be used effectively, and valid statistical methods be used for the data analysis. The goal of the completed project was the development of a comprehensive set of statistical methodologies to address some challenges in the analysis of industrial hygiene data.
