• Description:
  Aim 1: Develop job exposure matrices (JEMs) for PM and selected chemicals based on job-level exposures rather than distinct exposure groups (DEGs), adjusting for respirator use. Aim 2: Examine the impact of co-exposure to chemicals, physical stressors-noise and heat-and job stress as independent risk factors for IHD incidence, and as potential confounders, intermediates and effect modifiers of the cardiovascular effects of PM2.5 exposure among all active workers in aluminum smelters and fabrication facilities. Explore the contribution of plant level, community and early life social and environmental characteristics to the incidence of cardiovascular disease. We did work to include a greater number of workplace factors by creating JEMs (Aim 1) for standard occupational classes (SOCs). Aim 5: Examine the relationships between cumulative exposure to PM2.5, chemicals and COPD and CVD mortality, taking account of health status (risk score while actively employed) and new information on health status at age 65 (after leaving work) derived from linked Medicare claims files.
